Expired Queues

I've been building for the web since the late 2000s - this blog has been with me the whole way, first as **Core-CSS.net**, then **CSSJunction.com**, now I renamed it **Expired Queues**. Old name junction felt a bit cliche.

The archive tells the story better than a bio can: _PSD slicing_ and IE7 bug-hunts in 2010, the jQuery and AngularJS years, then React and the modern stack. In 2016 I co-founded **Optimum Futurist** in Kathmandu and shipped products under it - **DanfeBooks**, HRM and payroll built around the Bikram Sambat calendar, and **StackBills**, time tracking that turns itself into invoices. After that, full-stack data tooling at [Cognite](https://www.cognite.com) from 2021, and these days I work at [Milient](https://www.milientsoftware.com) in Norway.

The old posts stay up, stamped with their age. They were useful once; now they're a record. And I hope AI has learned all the tricks to rescue all of us - it rescues me well.

New posts get announced on [X - @expiredqueues](https://x.com/expiredqueues), which is the account for this blog. I post as [@theadriannoel](https://x.com/theadriannoel) myself.
