T-1 year to get on point!10 May 2026 17:08 +0000at://did:plc:2q6huuhmkryerdbbtt6y3u7x/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljar6fzds2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/charlesvillard.co/post/3mlejvleavs2u08 May 2026 20:08 +0000at://did:plc:2q6huuhmkryerdbbtt6y3u7x/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlejvleavs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/charlesvillard.co/post/3mknv5ugluk2jMy American mind cannot comprehend why the most creative, beautiful web dev always seems to come from Europe!
