Oli and TYPO3

Working on TYPO3 means beginning each day by reconsidering yesterday’s work. We’re always thinking about how to provide a future-proof framework for TYPO3 users and b13 clients
I’m a big fan of the TYPO3 community and TYPO3’s commitment to PSRs — its PSR7, PSR14, and PSR15 implementations were all really well thought-out.

Oli on working at b13

The atmosphere at b13 is positive, familial, and professional. By improving the TYPO3 Core and developing reliable solutions, b13 is committed to constantly moving TYPO3 in the right direction.

Oli’s Dos and Don’ts

This work flows through to benefit all backend users, whether they’re solely relying on the keyboard, a screen reader or other assistive technologies.
