Painting With The Web - Matthias Ott @BeyondTellerrandConf Düsseldorf 2025

This talk and its overarching topic – what essentially is true "web design"? – is very dear to me.

We have to embrace the dance with the uncertainties"

I find myself caring less and less about the latest hot framework or ux design trend, but thinking more than ever about the foundations of well-crafted web sites: Leaness, performance, accessibility. Discoverability, URL-design, future-friendliness. Interoperability. Designing and building meaningful and helpful stuff that lasts.

I don’t think I will ever write a better talk title or description than this one for my opening keynote at Dokutech¹ in 2016 (I’m going through all the past events Laura and I spoke at over the last decade and making sure the links work for the Kitten² version of the site):

Excuse Me, Your Unicorn Keeps Shitting In My Back Yard, Can He Please Not?

The matrix is inverted and my teddy bear is spying on me. Why am I covered in unicorn shit? I was only browsing the web. No, I do not want another cookie. Why are you feeding me cookies? Is that my treadmill? Am I the milk of magnesia to your unicorn’s constipation? How can you hear me when I’m not saying anything? I can’t seem to look away. Hello, White Man on the Cloud! Why can He see me, but I can’t see Him? Who, exactly, is getting smarter about whom? And why is Oettinger’s donut so red?

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH), a massive biomedical-research funder that also employs thousands of scientists at its own laboratories,
🔥is “totally broken and non-functional right now”,
according to a principal investigator at the NIH who asked for anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the press.
“We can’t #hire people. We can’t #recruit people. We can’t #talk to people on the outside. We cannot #travel,” they say.

Other government scientists, say that they can’t afford #publication #fees or the #supplies they need to process lab samples.
At the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
— which monitors Earth’s oceans and atmosphere and provides weather forecasting services
— some scientists cannot do fieldwork because many of the contractors they have historically worked with have been #furloughed.
Meanwhile, the US Department of Government Efficiency, effectively run by billionaire Elon Musk, has been sowing #fear among federal workers with its visits to various agencies, threatening possible workforce cuts and more.
