Just released v1.4.0 of my Eleventy Plus Vite starter! 🎉 It is now running Eleventy 3.1.5 and Vite 8. A good moment to dust it off now that @11ty.dev becomes even more (Build) Awesome. 🏃💨 github.com/matthiasott/...

📝 Yet another post about how I'm trying out cross-page HTML navigations (with CSS view transitions) over in-page JS interactions. It’s kinda cool to remove JS and get a fancier effect for free with HTML/CSS. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2026/out-wit...

i just backed build awesome pro on kickstarter, you should too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon... 🦝🦨🦡 huh who would’ve guessed that there’s not an opossum emoji

my “Leather man” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions that I feel like are already answered by my last name

“oh… that code was written by a model that was retired three years ago, the new model doesn’t know why it exists”

mark my words, we’re in for a tech incident summer babyyyy

I need this so bad so that I can do the ivy vines gothic witchy vibe web designs of my dreams (I’m waiting for Firefox and safari support first but then imma be all over this)

Going to stream in about 10m to show off three Build Awesome Pro editing demos, come hang out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr-N...

Ooh how did I miss that the new Pagefind has a new Web Components-based UI? github.com/Pagefind/pag... Awesome work team! pagefind.app

closing a layoffs announcement post with “If you're looking for a new career direction, check out our open positions“ is…a choice. the cloudflare choice at least

it clearly needs to be repeated that layoffs are a leadership failure, full stop.

I *just* learned earlier this week that UUID v7 adds a timestamp component so that the UUIDs can be easily sorted in the order they were created! 🏆

it took me too long to realize that this was "horseshit" censored and not new slang i didn't know about yet where "horses" meant bad

so… uh… how are we all doing

State of the Browser 2027 👀 Tickets 👀 Not many when they are gone they are paused until @pixelpioneers.co 2027.stateofthebrowser.com/tickets/

Who decided to call them “hallucinations” and not “Phantoms of the Slopera.”

If you have a developer education budget at work, I would really encourage you to use it on your favourite developer educators. A lot of us are deciding whether or not to keep doing this stuff, and that support would help send a signal that we should keep going. ❤️

The stage is set for the last All Day Hey! and I'm getting ready to give the closing remarks, signalling ten years of the conference. All a bit emotional, to be honest with you. Incredibly excited to get everyone together and feel the buzz in the room. If you've bagged a ticket, I'll see you there 🫡

Whoa, this is a *wild* stat: “Utah as a whole uses about 4 gigawatts. At full buildout, the Stratos campus is expected to use 9 gigawatts”

I did up a new talk! I'm calling it In-N-Out Animations, and covers animating elements in and out of view/existence. It's FREE to see tomorrow at @smashingconf.com's Meet Style Sheets event. smashingconf.com/meets-style-... See ya there or, be `display: none;` or... uh, a funny version of that.

wordpress is 22% of all web sites. 22% of web sites are literally just there to capture devops energy. We have a way of doing that way more efficiently now!

Node.js v26.0.0 is out 💚 Temporal API enabled by default, V8 14.6, Undici 8, and key deprecations as we keep modernizing the platform. Check it out nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

The hidden gem is that @nodejs.org majors and LTS cycles got WAY easier to understand: 2026 -> v26 2027 -> v27 2028 -> v28 ... Aall of them go LTS for 18 months meaning each major is supported for 2 years. The new graphic tells the best story here: nodejs.org/en/blog/anno...

This is a fascinating architecture write-up from MDN: fewer abstractions, less shipped JavaScript, and interactivity where it actually belongs.

devEngines started as @geoffreybooth.bsky.social and I in DMs 2 years ago. It's now supported in @npmjs.bsky.social & @pnpm.io, and later this month will be our recommended way for developers at Netflix to define runtime and package manager versions in their projects. docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/conf...

200% funded. Folks… wow. 😱 We’re blown away by the support. Join us live tomorrow for Dave’s color theming demo + AMA on Build Awesome! 📅 May 5 at 11am ET / 10am CT / 8am PT → www.youtube.com/live/XBMSvup... 🔗 Kickstarter → www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

For the past 6 years, I’ve been working on developer education full time, on my online courses + blog. It’s been an incredible privilege to be able to focus on this stuff. ✨ I’m starting to wonder, though, whether the business model I’ve chosen is sustainable. Let me explain… 🧵

I really like Google Search’s stated mission to “organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful” but I’m curious what organizations do y’all think are most invested in that mission? Wikipedia seems like an obvious one. Internet Archive seems like another. Any others?

Chrome looks set to ship an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. We feel it has a large interoperability risk, and Google imposing T&Cs on a web API sets a dangerous precedent. Full details: github.com/mozilla/stan...

I am so ridiculously excited about this project. I have been building with @11ty.dev since at least 1.0.0-beta. It's incredible, was like brining web development back to crafting rather than tooling. What they are proposing looks awesome, Build Awesome: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Introducing Cursor Camp, a website to hang out with other cursors. Out now :) > neal.fun/cursor-camp/

this month’s Asheville AIGA meetup ruled- featured Michael Bishop/Blothar from Gwar and the mask smells pretty much how you’d think it might

I think my call to action here is to pay for no-vc non-public small business made software and cut them a little slack on downtime because it’s where your favorite expensive big guys are headed anyway

Whoa whoa whoa how did I miss that @buildawesome.bsky.social is the next evolution of @11ty.dev?? Happy to back @zachleat.com and this project, we love basic HTML 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Tomorrow we’ll have a casual AMA about Build Awesome (11ty), Build Awesome Pro, the Kickstarter, and our vision for the future of collaboration on the web. Maybe show me your web site. Ask questions about web development? I don’t want to get too prescriptive 😅 Join! www.youtube.com/live/KkwOTAA...

We did it—fully funded🎉 Huge thanks for backing Build Awesome! This only works because of you. Want to unlock new levels of awesomeness? Let’s keep the momentum going—tell a friend and help us make even more awesome happen 🚀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Sometimes I back things that aren't comics. For instance, I just backed Build Awesome Pro from @11ty.dev on @kickstarter.com. I've had a goal for a long time of building a personal website, and this is how I plan to finally do it. 💪 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...
