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.

@cehwitham @LaynesEspresso It's an excellent brunch option. And the coffee is superb.

Today’s love affair with the city of Leeds is sponsored by this pile of pancakes with peaches, raspberries, almonds, and vanilla cream from @LaynesEspresso.

(Which I ate with the enthusiasm of someone expecting his food to be cruelly snatched away from him)

Many thanks to everyone at @leedsjs for a lovely evening last night. (A wonderful meetup which I'd heartily recommend!)

I enjoyed the great conversations, a nice cup of tea, and a proper pint.

My slides about #JAMstack and a #serverless web are online.

@clearleft I’m passionate about better practitioner experience if it is in service of better user experience. By reducing friction for practitioners, I think we empower them to focus more on creating great user experiences and have better chances of doing so within time/budget constraints.

“Bake, don’t fry” might be the phrase that has resonated with me more than any other when it comes to simplifying web development. https://twitter.com/katie_fenn/status/1166791044622630913

"It turns out, the list of things we need for our site, can be very complicated to provision and maintain"

— says @iTomHanson in his excellent @leedsjs talk on using AWS to provide *various things* as a service.

Plus one from me! I'm a fan of outsourcing commoditized complexity

“As a user, I want to log in to the website”

— No! No user wants to “log in” to a site. They want to achieve a real task.

Nice stuff from @kitation at @LeedsJS

@charis @petervangrieken @stephenhay I’m staying in a snazzy treehouse.
With a hot tub.
And wine.

@muppetaphrodite @adactio I like it when pilots tell us we’ll be “landing momentarily”

Which makes me think we had better get our clutter together and be ready to get off the plane as fast as we can since it will only be on the ground for a moment.

Go go go!

Some very helpful improvements in this latest release of @eleven_ty. It’s great to see such features being thoughtfully discussed by the community, and deftly stewarded by @zachleat https://twitter.com/eleven_ty/status/1166373982632890373
