Hard Object References: Stable Object References for Mutable Application State

I explain Hard Object References as a practical rule for mutable application state: use stable object and array references, avoid rebinding and nested reference replacement, and copy data into existing objects instead. This approach helps reduce stale aliases, obsolete references, and hard-to-debug state bugs in complex TypeScript and frontend applications.

Stop Turning the Mobile Web Into a Second-Class Platform

I argue that app-first strategies are weakening the mobile web by forcing web-shaped products into closed containers. Browsers provide tabs, links, bookmarks, extensions, interoperability, and user control. Developers should support PWAs and better mobile browser capabilities to preserve open software.

Why Every Frontend Project Should Have Its Own UI Layer

I argue that frontend projects should own an internal UI layer instead of scattering third-party components across product code. Wrappers create stable contracts, centralize accessibility, theming, defaults, localization, and vendor quirks, reduce migration risk, and make UI architecture product-owned.
