- I'll be back co-hosting this rockstar lineup with @remotesynthesis.com for Moar Serverless 2025, from @cfedev.bsky.social and @fitc.ca! Some really interesting topics already on the schedule, and registration is free! Check it out!
- Most frameworks don't tell you what to do with constants, content, and configuration. It's easy to do what's easy. It's (usually) better to build a system to handle scenarios you'll encounter in most projects.

- This is a fun collab between @cfedev.bsky.social and @virtualcoffee.io! Lots of quick talks throughout the day today.
- Wow! I have cold sweats when thinking about my Storybook experiences between 2017-2020. v9 looks like a whole new ballgame, not the tool I left behind.
- I (finally) built a little example and wrote the post. I left most of the spice in a related post and focused this one on how you don't need more that 11ty and Netlify primitives to build a full-stack application.
- Editing a blog post this morning and found this little gem of a phrase: "... you could consider @11ty.dev a full-stack framework ..." And now I have an idea for a new post. One that is surely to upset some people. 😅
- Super cool to see "Notion as a CMS" become an @11ty.dev plugin. It reminds me of the prototype I built a few years ago — a opinionated system that uses callouts to add custom components to a page.
- The Eleventy Meetup is happening today: 11tymeetup.dev/events/ep-23... Starring @mwdelaney.me and vrugtehagel!
- Some thoughts on why we don't need to be classifying frameworks as "full-stack" or not. The capabilities of a framework in production often have very little to do with (what we perceive as) the framework itself.
- Last day to save $106.12 on this course!
- Do this! This is the survey the community needs. It takes about 15 minutes and is focused on you and your experience, and not the tools you're using. Very much looking forward to seeing the results of this one!
- Why I launched a new, different kind of survey: dev.to/sachagreif/l... (take the survey here! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey... )

- Every few months, I use AI to generate a draft of a blog post to remind myself why I don't use AI to draft blog posts.
- Final update: simulator team jumped to #2 after the sweet sixteen, and stayed in second place for the remainder of the tournament. Other fun fact: it was a total coincidence that we had 9 different champions picked by 10 players. And, somehow, no one was correct.
- Seems like syncing is one of the more challenging aspects of the local-first paradigm. Looking forward to digging into this!

- We're developers. We say we hate marketing, but we actually love it. And it leads us to choose solutions before thinking through the problem. That's further compounded when the docs for your friendly neighborhood framework lead with the tool rather than the problem. Choose based on your scenario.
- One of the inevitable effects of experiencing a lull in writing is it takes me away from my website. And websites need constant care to be presented in the best light. Now that I'm easing back into writing personal posts, I'm starting to make small updates, beginning by introducing Bluesky links!
- A friendly PSA to remind you to tell your friendly neighborhood vibe coder to check that their application isn't exposing secret API keys. This has happened to me multiple times — database creds use environment variables, which makes them *seem* secure. But they get bundled during the build.
- Now you can keep yourself occupied during builds just like you could with your TI-84 Plus calculator during high school statistics class.

- 🧩 Made a little jigsaw puzzle game to celebrate the birthday celebration! 🎂
- 🚨 Challenge alert! 🚨 Netlify turns 10 today—can you build a creative webpage to celebrate in under an hour? Spin up something fun (maybe with @bolt.new?), deploy it on Netlify, and share it with us! We’ll send swag to our favorites. 🥳 Tag us or drop your project ⬇️ by Friday, April 4!
- Great little synopsis of MCP, the newest acronym to arrive on the scene. ⭐ Quote highlight: "It's only a matter of time before some AI agent accidentally wipes out billions of dollars of customer data, or becomes self-aware and just deletes the data for fun."
- 🎂 Happy Birthday, Netlify! It's kind of wild that discovering Netlify 8 years ago would completely change the way I built websites almost overnight. That Sean would not have imagined I'd be celebrating this milestone as part of the team today. It's all a journey! Here's to the next 10! 🍻
- 10 years of innovation. 10 years of community. 10 years of transforming the web. Today, Netlify turns 10! 🥳 Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Watch CEO @biilmann.blog reflect on a decade of building a better web, together:
- Though two years old already, this was a great introduction into the local-first movement. Makes a really strong case for the switch. It’s such a different paradigm that thinking through the architecture is breaking my brain a bit. But a great thought exercise.
- This is what we've been missing.
