New on the Blog: Eleventy is now Build Awesome www.11ty.dev/blog/build-a...

@nathanwrigley.com and @bell.bz together. What's not to like? I say NO to AI. Certainly the lies, exploitation and potential enshittification that fuels it. That said, I am enjoying LLMs more since using it as a weird association tool to get me thinking outside my own box.

The thumbnail is clickbait, but Jeffrey Sachs nails it again.

What if we stopped trying to control the web - and started working with it?

In short, this video is about owning your own lovely, beautiful HTML. @nathanwrigley.com is brilliant at editing out our tech failures, but this time we let the swearing go. It's probably the best bit.

Some impressive reporting here.

This guy is amazing. I particularly love that his Dad posts his album orders in the local village. No mega-corps. He is all about connecting with real people.

My New Year's resolution: promote the liberating power of the "dumb" web (HTML and CSS).

I am also excited by the potential of a post America internet.

This episode aims to help small local businesses avoid costly mistakes.

This seems such a sensible way to view AI. It's nice and short too.

If I every write or say "Passionate about helping" please slap me!

Anyone have some pics to contribute?

Yep!

We all have a choice. The Internet is ours.

Sara Soueidan being brilliant as always.

Who knew there were so many options? I'd love feedback from anyone who uses any of these services.

A talk worth anyone's time.

Are we all agreed that HTML is hard?

Something to cheer up @nathanwrigley.com!

This video sums up beautifully what I love about @11ty.dev. Thanks to @bobmonsour.com newsletter for pointing to it.

It was great seeing Joe poking around the No Script Show's website. I got a lot from it.

I've never signed up to a political party before, but I think the UK needs a new one.

New blog post! 🚀 A few months ago a media org demanded a license fee for an open graph image I linked. I paid the fee because I was worried, but it raises serious questions about open graph usage on the web! This goes through how it went and my thoughts. alistairshepherd.uk/writing/open...

Beta testers needed! Recently I asked if people wanted a sneak peak of a #WordPress podcast plugin I've been working on with Dan Maby. Thx to those who signed up. We are now ready for more people to have a play. If that's you, head here: www.podcasterplus.com/beta/ #podcasting

It's quite scary how little we know.

A clip from my @cssday.nl talk in which I explain why we need alternatives to Big Tech youtu.be/cRYLA8Hohqg

When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts.

Good!

Yeah, but, no, but, yeah, but, no... See this whole thing happened but.. but shut up... because we don't even know nothin' about what design system are. Sorry, just been watching Little Britain sketches. Don't be giving me evils.

Adding this to remind myself to follow. When I was creating my own WordPress starter theme I thought I might be the only one left doing this without Gutenberg. Meet Moss, my custom WordPress starter theme nicklewis.dev/meet-moss-my...

I don't know this channel, but Max Blumenthal gives a really easy to understand summery of what's happening right now.

Powerful as always.

Part two of our chat on website navigation. Here, we poke around looking at code we barely understand.

Earlier today Nathan (@wpbuilds.com ) and I ranted about AI, but luckily we had something else to rant about.

Well indeed.

I think I might have gone mad if it were not for Peter Oborne and Lowkey.

Arab Leaders CAUGHT Helping Israel Attack Iran AND Gaza

Part two.

This happen earlier today. Orange is the new black!

Really looking forward to Safari finally implementing support for `content` on `::marker` now that it is part of Interop 2025. It's been long overdue. #CSS

#madleen #flotilla #gaza #greta

The answer seem obvious to me.

Thanks to @whitep4nth3r.com for this video and article. For those who prefer a AI summary: Human creativity is good. AI shortcutting is unproductive.. Now make a billionaire happy and use the 10 minutes saved to burn the planet with an inaccessible app no-one wanted.

A new state-of-the-art website builder.

As always, I enjoyed today's chat (or confessional) with @nathanwrigley.com.
