continually disappointed but never surprised by musk tonight as he reinstates trump to twitter

I reported myself to myself on my own instance and gave myself a very stern warning. #EverythingInModeration

here’s one of my favorite twtr memories, I still have it framed in my office

Welcome new folks!

who could have guessed that employees of the social network iconic for speaking truth to power wouldn’t acquiesce to bullying

Talking with the Lit team about Web Components and Open Source on the bird site in one hour:

Wrote a bunch of spicy thoughts about React this morning and then deleted them—cathartic 😅

We are in the midst of another Google Reader-level community disruption.

It’s a good time to reset, take stock, clean house, and own your content!

If you don’t yet have your own web site—it’s a good time to start!

1. The most crucial piece is ownership of the domain name.
2. Then add content (it can just be plain HTML!)
3. Iterate on it! Make it better, but more importantly—make it yours.

On the #Eleventy Leaderboards, we added a new Page Weight column and it uses floppy disks (1.44 MB) as the visual.

I am tempted to use baseline Next.js bundle size instead—is this too mean or no 😅

super controversial opinion: testing is good

if I were interviewing (I’m not), I might be tempted to casually ask about elon musk and use the reply as a litmus test to glean some insight into how much toxicity a company tolerates behind closed doors

just an idea

New blog post:

Use defer-hydration in your Web Components for… well, deferred hydration.

woohoo my instance is now on mastodon 4.0—which means I can edit my toots!

2️⃣ KBs of react on the web

Yay! My WebJoy episode is up!

“We discuss the power of having your own website versus just relying on social media and algorithms, as well as the best way to get started building a website if you're new to it.”

We recorded this earlier in the year—I’m curious how much of it sounds like it was recorded post-Twitter meltdown 👀

I hereby decree that twitter shall now be known as mastodon’t

I gotta say, attending my first conference IRL in over two years has me struggling a bit—feels like I went from 0–100 and my head is still spinning over-analyzing everything 😭

And the hard part is that everyone was so nice! It just feels like social whiplash 😅

Did I listen to a kids’ podcast on the history of toilets this morning? Yes I did 😅

Me, trying to sell a toilet that unnecessarily requires electricity to flush:

“Look, no one *disables* their electricity any more…”

Adding Declarative Shadow DOM support to <is-land> thanks to a collab with @techytacos!

Weeeeee!

Gotta say, I don’t miss t.co

@eleventy is on Mastodon :11ty: 🏆

Thinking today about how Twitter changed online discourse via pavlovian means and how it elevated so many folks that seem to do little else but thrive in controversy.

I’m curious how much it changed how I interact with folks. I definitely feel more unfazed by external (outside my community) criticism than I used to be—for better or for worse.

Regardless, happy to have a new home with new and old friends to hit the reset button on the entire thing. Appreciate y’all ❤️

The Ghostery browser extension includes a Never Consent feature to automatically click no on cookie popups (so you never see them)

Awesome, it looks like https://brid.gy is already piping boosts and favorites to my #webmentions setup and it was so easy to add!

You can see it in action here: https://www.zachleat.com/web/jamstackconf-oss-panel/#webmentions

The video is up for the panel I was on at #JamstackConf earlier this week:

Open source software is out to end the framework wars
https://www.zachleat.com/web/jamstackconf-oss-panel/

Alongside Ryan Carniato (SolidJS), Fred K. Schott (Astro), Jessica Janiuk (Angular), Alexandre Chopin (Nuxt), and moderated by Sara Vieira (Axo).

The answer is thankfully yes! (Appreciate y’all—it was something I was curious about with solo-instances)

Here’s a mastodon question for folks that follow me: do you see my boosts or are those just local to my personal instance?

I don’t think I ever did an #introduction!

Hello y’all—I am Zach!

I’m a web developer. I work on the Eleventy site generator https://www.11ty.dev (full-time open source sponsored by Netlify 🙌🏻).

I used to write a ton of blog posts about web fonts and I’m get super excited about personal web sites!

My home online is https://www.zachleat.com

One post-#JamstackConf thought I wish I had communicated better on the frameworks panel:

The web will be better served by a broader plurality of successful frameworks: Lit, Qwik, Solid, Astro, Svelte, Marko, Eleventy, and the one y’all are dreaming up now!

The post-React world is here, it just needs your help to be evenly distributed 🏆

let the record show that I told @TrostCodes tonight that eleventy was three npm packages in a trench coat

What an energizing two days at #JamstackConf! So many awesome conversations and excitement—feeling incredibly grateful. It’s a great time to be a web developer ❤️

At #JamstackConf, Laurie Voss reports that the Jamstack Community Survey data reveals:

Web Components have arrived 🏆

elon if you want to learn about mastodon hit me up—I’m outside

drunk with mastodon admin power

oh my god I can add my own custom emoji to my mastodon instance

in unrelated news I have now verified my account :bluecheck:

At #JamstackConf today and tomorrow (Nov 7–8)!

Find me to get an #Eleventy sticker!

I am officially on the notoriously reliable BART 🚃

on-time airport anxiety on high alert when daylight saving time changes 😅

#jamstackconf here I come ✈️

I’m curious if this is a notification to folks to opt-in to a refollow? Did anyone receive something in Mastodon about this new account?

Well, the export was “successful” from @zachleat@mastodon.social

Only time will tell if the follower import works or not! 😅

I’m still working on self hosting my Mastodon and haven’t exported everything over here yet—but this is my long term home!

Gonna export from https://mastodon.social/@zachleat once my aliases are all set up properly!

The fediverse!
