Some guys buy a convertible when they have a mid-life crisis. I bought a scooter. 😂

Planning on doing a full #11tyConf Organizer retrospective blog post, but in the interest of transparency here’s a peek at the conference budget (funded primarily by our Open Collective, prices in USD):

Expenses: $7574.20
Revenue: $4653.79 (Free event, but via sponsors and merch)
Profit: -$2920.41

Edit: Fixed a spreadsheet error 😬

We did it!

#11tyConf has wrapped and I am so humbled by the response to this event. The incredible speakers, the incredible audience, the incredible organizers — y’all are amazing.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this community.

I would like to speak softly without carrying a big stick

Photos usually sends me photo memories of my family, friends,...and @zachleat. 😁

I wonder if y’all can help me out—I’m trying to collect a list of web development communities (not related to any one specific tool or framework), can you reply with your favorites?

(if you don’t have a favorite I will also accept communities you’re familiar with 😅)

For so many years folks have asked me to sell @eleventy swag (stickers, mostly). Well, for the next two weeks it’s happening (and then I’m closing the shop again 😅)

If you are one of those people, the link is here: https://merch.11ty.dev/products/11ty-merch-bundle-2024-limited-edition

still surprised that the people that prefer not to write CSS want to put it in HTML instead of JavaScript

Reason #927 I love @eleventy - I created a GitHub template based on our design system docs that allows anyone in the company to create their own documentation site (powered by 11ty!) using our design system and their own custom branding. It hardly took any time to set it up and people are loving it.

Screenshot of documentation site for SSP, based on a the template used for Pit Viper, with different branding and colors.

I’m starting from scratch with @overcastfm.

What are your favorite #podcasts?

As my online friends are now scattered across 4 or 5 social networks now, I’m wishing there were a better way to like/share/boost cross-posted content across a bunch of networks (from the original source).

Some kind of superboost feature?

How are y’all handling this?

Some good news! Also, Pit Viper, the design system I built, got a nice shoutout in the company all-hands today. https://blog.turquoise.health/turquoise-health-raises-30m-series-b-financing-expanding-healthcare-pricing-platform-offerings/

Just watched this fantastic documentary on the life and work of Louis Sullivan, one of the fathers of modern (American) architecture. His talent and the virtuosity of his work are just stunning. To him, ornament wasn’t a crime but an expression of beauty and character as well as a metaphor for human creativity and possibility.

Post-holiday depression kicking in as I realize I can no longer use Christmas to blackmail my children into behaving.

organizations extremely concerned with the scalability of CSS need to put that same energy into the scalability of JS

Just used :has() in production. 😬😅🤞🏻

If you have a personal website: what platform, CMS, SSG, tech stack, or service are you using for it? Would you pick it again? How much technical expertise did it require to set up and make it your own? And do you have to do a lot of maintenance?

Once more – you guessed it – I’m asking for my #OwnYourWeb #newsletter subscribers. 😉

I'm delighted to share that I'm going to be joining my good friends at @smashingconf to deliver a new workshop: Scalable CSS Masterclass.

It's coming in May 2024 and I can't wait to see you there! https://smashingconf.com/online-workshops/workshops/scalable-css-andy-bell/

Hello! I'm Andy, a designer, front-end developer and the founder of Set Studio from the UK and I'm delighted to share that I'm going to be joining my good friends at Smashing to deliver a new workshop: Scalable CSS Masterclass. CSS doesn't scale right? I can tell you that's not true. How do I know? Well, over the last 15 years or so, I've written and consulted on both small CSS codebases and huge, complex codebases for some of the largest organisations in the world, such as Google, Harley-Davidson and the NHS. I've seen it all: Sass, Less, methodologies, frameworks, Tailwind and CSS-in-JS. While each of these has brought both positives and negatives, there's one core thing that's brought success every time: planning, communication and writing CSS that leans into the power of the language, rather than fighting it. In this workshop, we're going to be operating in a real-world project, featuring tricky stakeholders, suboptimal design decisions and workplace drama. I'll teach you not just how to deal with these tricky situations, but also, how to thrive in them! You'll learn communication skills, planning skills, iteration skills and of course loads of CSS skills. It'll be a relaxed, fun workshop, which I know if you have even a mild interest in skilling up as a developer, you will love. I can't wait to see you there in May 2024!

🚨 NEW BLOG POST in which I figure out how to turn WordPress into a headless CMS for Eleventy! Thanks to @superterrific, @5t3ph, @robb and @zachleat for helping to make this project a lot easier than I thought it was going to be! https://www.mikeaparicio.com/posts/2023-11-07-using-wordpress-as-a-headless-cms-for-eleventy/

my drafts folder is popping off this morning with posts that will never see the light of day 😅

🥺 help! i’m writing a talk about customising the web 🥺

to help me make my case, can you tell me about how you use bookmarklets, user styles, or user scripts? for example…

• maybe you gave a website new features
• maybe you automated or scraped a website
• maybe you made a website more accessible
• maybe you made a website less annoying
• maybe you fought ads or enshittification
• maybe even something mundane or esoteric!
