@zachleat a rollercoaster to be sure! I love that @cloudcannon stepped in the way they did and have had an absolute blast building with Eleventy and hanging out with the community. Hear's to a better 2024! 🫡(I rebuilt https://augurymetal.com in Next.js in 2022 :lolsob: and it’ll likely be moved to Eleventy at some point.)

@zachleat re: final paragraph of “Down for the Count” – you're being WAY too hard on yourself.

Something approaching a worst case scenario occurred, but after the dust settled Eleventy was pretty much fine because of the choices you'd made about its relationship to funding. You don’t have to look very hard to find another SSG that made different choices and is reaping what it sowed. (or, uh, it was reaped?)

As far as I'm concerned, it’s a model project and you handled it great!

@cbirdsong that’s lovely to hear, thank you. 🙌

@zachleat Eleventy is a great tool, thanks for making it. It's been a major factor in getting me back into blogging.

And burnout sucks, and I hope the new year works out better for you.

@danjac Thank you Dan—I hope you keep blogging!

@zachleat Burnout is a horrible thing, and I’m glad you figured out a more supportive and sustainable pace. Thanks for sharing this.

@eric I saw that 2023 was really hard for you, Eric—but here’s hoping for a better 2024 💜

@zachleat Don't be so hard on yourself. You fucking rock and I won't hear otherwise. Thanks for all you do! 💜

@zachleat Also, I really dodged a bullet with that interview, huh? 😂

@peruvianidol so many incredible people still working there and I hope our paths cross again in the future!

(but things do seem to have a way of working out in the end, huh? 😅)
