The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

The new WYSIWYG input in @SlackHQ reminds me of when I used to use Microsoft Word and would spend more time trying to undo unwanted automagic formatting than writing the things I went there to write.

This is not the codefence I was looking for.

@laurieontech @chriscoyier I'm not so sure that everyone has heard of JAMstack yet... but otherwise I totally agree.

@laurieontech @chriscoyier I agree!

Although I sometimes find explaining that simplicity can be... um... a complicated conversation.

Momentum is a tricky thing. ☺️

"I’ve Had Some VCs Asking Me About Jamstack"
— says @chriscoyier

🤔

He goes on...

"JAMstack is funny. I’m a massive fan. Technologically, it’s both super simple/boring AND a paradigm shift in building websites"

Hard agree!
I ♥️ the power of boring!

This was a good choice. Focussing on our own core competencies and building our product rather than re-inventing logging infrastructure was smart. I’m blown away by what the @Netlify infra team do daily. And what @ry_boflavin and team have built boggles my mind. https://twitter.com/Netlify/status/1199601250637172737

@klarstrup @swyx Yeah, I like that combo.

- Generate a view and URL of every page.
- Progressively enhance with client-side rendering and APIs for content.

In some cases that will be perfect. In others that will be over engineering. In others still, it might not be practical. But I like it.

@sultaninen @swyx There are some wonderful use cases for client-side apps. And we can do more in the browser than ever before. I find that exciting. But indeed, we can also brilliantly deliver most website projects via the web standards we’ve worked so hard to establish. So yeah, it depends. 😌

@swyx Might also be worth considering some drawbacks:

- robustness principal (If we make js a rendering dependency)
- performance (for first load)
- reach (particularly for underpowered mobile devices)
- SEO (if content not in html)

I’m a fan of both.
I tend to say “it depends”

@rockerest They used cabaret style seating at @VueToronto and it worked really very well indeed. Better than I had expected as I tend to prefer theatre style too. This swayed me a bit. It does require a big room to work though.

@AndyDavies @HenriHelvetica @githubuniverse Agreed. Staging in the round looks cool, but I don’t think it suits presentations all that well. I also like speaking in auditoriums which raise the audience as it gets further back. I was recently surprised to enjoy having a table to give more elbow room and note-taking options

RT @thatsmyjamstack: No new episode this week (what with the holiday week in the US).

We'll be back next week with a new episode.

If you…

@perrysetgo If anyone has shown they have guts, willpower and the determination to overcome adversity, it think it might be you.

More healing to do? I hope you feel the energy being beamed at you from all over the world.

Not least from my little corner of the UK.

Mend fast.
Hurry back.
