Yay! I’m heading to Washington, DC to tell all who will listen about making #WordPress-to-Static sites without Gatsby or writing code.

Tuesday, 18-Feb from 6-8 PM.

I’d love to see you there!

Now that our industry is finally recovering from the mass delusion that microservices was going to be the future, it’s surely time to for the even bigger delusion that serverless is what’s going to provide the all-purpose salvation 🙄😂

@hankchizljaw The people working on Gatsby are too clever not to know this is misleading. Performance 101 is knowing that JS is expensive because it has to be computed and run, not just because it has to be downloaded.

Someone told me that Pitbull is Jeff Bezos’s alt and I can’t unsee it.

Periodic Reminder: When debugging, you must first accept that something you believe is true is not true. If everything you believed about this system were true, it would work. It doesn’t, so you’re wrong about something.

If you’re an entrepreneur who is growing and you have a small team or maybe one or two people helping you but you can’t pay them tons because you’re just starting, here are some affordable perks you can offer them:

@kingkool68 Yes also notepad.

Why are we still doing websites this way:
1. Sitemap
2. Wireframes
3. UI Design
4. Front-end development
5. Pattern and style guide
6. CMS build
7. Content migration
8. Launch
Do projects that follow this plan ever go according to schedule?
Nothing about a web project is linear

Can you recommend frontend conferences that would be interested in a talk about HTML?

I’d like to give it a shot with my @htm_hell talk. I have so many fanatstic stupid ideas. 😁
