<p>This week I got to speak with <a href="https://codepen.io/hakimel">Hakim El Hattab</a>. I feel pretty special as Hakim told me he doesn't do public stuff very often. I get it! He's a busy man with a family, <a href="https://slides.com/">a successful company</a>, and <a href="https://kodemo.com/">ambitious other projects</a>. I think of Hakim as the master of simple but satisfying UI concepts that have a way of becoming bigger than demos. Consider <a href="https://lab.hakim.se/ladda/">Ladda</a>, which you can find as part of his <a href="https://hakim.se/">personal site</a>, which is a button that expands to show a spinner. This concept started with Hakim and has now made its way to surely hundreds or thousands of websites, some as big as Slack and some as awesome as CodePen itself. </p> <h3 id="h-time-jumps">Time Jumps</h3> <h3 id="h-sponsor-equinix-metal">Sponsor: <a href="https://srv.buysellads.com/ads/long/x/THKW4PZDTTTTTTFCXTUCCTTTTTTHHMJ3KKTTTTTTLDYLLYYTTTTTTRDZVJVNO2Z2QE7HLSSN2H6CP7B2VMQDCB46GQ4E">Equinix Metal</a></h3> <p>Equinix Metal’s Startup Partner Program helps early-stage companies level up.
