@zachleat WOW! My own photo used as the poster image? 🥰☺️
@zachleat @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma Very much looking forward to a good ol' gossip about this.
@philhawksworth @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma Likewise! 🙌🏻
@zachleat @philhawksworth @remotesynth @brittneypostma missed opportunity to ask if the Jamstack community is *toast*
@jaredwhite @zachleat @remotesynth @brittneypostma ...or if people are still sweet on the architecture
@philhawksworth @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma save it for tomorrow you two 😅😅😅
@zachleat @philhawksworth @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma Why does jamstack need saving? Is there some deprecation announcement by some jamstack vendor that I missed?
@goulet @philhawksworth @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma this thread has some background: https://fediverse.zachleat.com/@zachleat/110860857025038126
@zachleat @philhawksworth @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma Thanks for the context!
If I wasn't on socials much I would just happily keep on SSG'ing my sites with client-side fetching/rendering when necessary.
Do we need the Jamstack community to be saved for me to keep doing that? Do architecture patterns need communities and marketing behind them for developers to use them?
(Those are semi-non-rhetorical questions you could ask the panel of smart folks if you feel inclined 😀)
@goulet @zachleat @philhawksworth @remotesynth @brittneypostma I suppose that's why there's going to be a panel…? 🤔 We shall find out together!
@jaredwhite @zachleat @philhawksworth @remotesynth @brittneypostma Looking forward to it!
If you have questions you’d like to see answered by this panel (no guarantees of course)—please drop them in the replies below! 🙌🏻
@zachleat Can Jamstack help solve the sorts of organizational problems which are normally solved with Google Tag Manager, in a more server-side, performance-focused way?
In other words: how can I empower Marketing to execute ~arbitrary JS that manipulates the site on the server, instead of on the client?
@eeeps ooh great question 🏆
@zachleat I'm interested in the future of the community, and, presuming we want to save it, how we can insulate it from outsized VC/startup/single (for-profit) entity control. Would/could something like a foundation model like languages or big open source projects sometimes have work for a _concept_ like JAMStack?
@snugug you and I: 👀 to 👀
@zachleat @philhawksworth @jaredwhite @remotesynth @brittneypostma favorite jam pls
