Batched Incremental Builds™ — coming soon.
Coming soon to an alpha release (v4.0.0-alpha.8) near you: More efficient incremental builds when the build queue has multiple changes waiting.
Friendlier to Save All from your editor or switching git branches with lots of file changes.
I will reduce cumulative layout shift but only if they have the prefers-reduce-motion preference enabled — everyone else gets extra layout shift

TIL Lighthouse is adding an Agentic Browsing metric:
developer.chrome.com/docs/lightho...
That CLS is listed as a sub-metric seems like a big ol’ code smell to me (and reveals some brittle implementation?): are agents relying on element dimensions?

A step in the right direction! For most folks: just publish locally (with 2FA) — CI publish is the attack vector typically exploited!

You should learn HTML and code your own website.
to be clear: websites are rad — apps are ritualistic sacrifices made to further the endless and insatiable desires of the centralization of capital
I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

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”
Ignoring community opposition, Box Elder County, Utah, has approved a 9 GW data center campus powered by onsite fossil gas. Utah as a whole currently uses 4 GWs. Also: the developers have rights to 13K acre-feet of water in this water-stressed region, most of which will be used by the gas plants.

One more tasty late-Friday pre-release: Eleventy v4.0.0-alpha.7
A few releases to round out the week:
- Import v1.0.19 github.com/11ty/elevent...
- Fetch v5.1.2 github.com/11ty/elevent...
- Feeds (RSS, Atom, JSON) v3.0.0 github.com/11ty/elevent... (now ESM! option to prepare for XSLT polyfills)
If you (like me) were attempting to npm publish via GitHub Actions using `npm@latest` (currently v11.12.0) and saw an error message involving `--prefer-online` and `--prefer-offline`, reverting to npm@11.11.1 fixes the issue.
