Most sites are judged at launch. I care more about year three, when the site still has to be fast, stable and easy for the team to run.

Hi, I’mLouis

I have built for the web since 2013. These days I am a senior developer at Goodfolks, and the part of the job I care about most is the years after launch, keeping a site fast, stable and easy for its team to run.
