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.

@NateDavidRivera @Netlify oooh.. but you need to deploy a site, Nate!
You've tweeted the link to the original. If you deploy your own via the Deploy To Netlify button on https://playwith.netlify.com, you should get your own instance of this site with a new URL. Tweet that :)

Wow. Reminded once again that @SaraSoueidan is such a powerhouse! The volume and density of brilliant tips and techniques in her #smashingconf talk is staggering.

I want to try them all!

'The truth is the software"
— @danmall at #smashingconf.

Yes. Our documentation and design systems are lovely... but unless they reflect the true state of our software, they are just wishful thinking and more things to maintain. They need to cone together.

I'll probably be able to resist the urge to hug @danmall following the positive, productive and impactful messages in his #smashingconf talk.

But no promises.

@bruised_blood @danmall I disagree.

Saying thay good front end developer is important is not saying that good design is unimportant.

A good front end developer values and cherishes a good designer. That's one of the thing that makes them good.

Smiling broadly at @danmall's notion of Dead-drop Driven Development at #smashingconf.

Eerily familiar from various stages of my career.

Up and at 'em bright and early in New York City for #smashingconf. (With the obligatory breakfast at Westway Diner first)

Looking forward to seeing lots of wonderful friendly webby folks, and several of my fellow @Netlify-ers.

Today is going to be a good day.

@felipesere @britishairways @Netlify Me too!
I'm also building and deploying sites to @Netlify from an airport!

Nice to not worried about doing this over my phone's hotspot because the heavy lifting is all done elsewhere.

@batiste_dek @Netlify Yes. This is where Environment Variables are your friend.

You can add environment variables via the admin interface and then access them in your code with process.env.YOUR_ENV_VAR_NAME

And dotenv can help with local dev and keeping them out of your repo.

In addition to these speakers, there will be more yet smart people giving talks on the Agency Day, and lightening talks in the evening too!

I might need to make some room in my brain for all this.

I'm going to forget all the levels from Doom & Doom 2.
And how to speak Spanish. https://twitter.com/Netlify/status/1053285167132016641
