Zach has done such a good job that I'm along for the ride no matter what. I made my favorite website ever using #11ty. fromjason will always be an 11ty / Build Awesome site. Though I will miss the 11ty branding. The name rolls off the tongue.

Look forward to a few years down the road where I can smugly say "real ones know it's real name is 11ty"

Given how core MS, Github, AWS and co are, and their YOLO in the AI code approach. We are probably months out from an utterly catastrophic AI driven availability or security related incident.

More and more convinced that the technocrats’ assertion that “AI” will take all of our jobs is a projection of their fear of a general strike.

don't recommend reading the thread. there are a lot of true believers. many simply think that anyone not using AI is going to fall behind in utility, but there are a number of people who insist it is their right to AI slop all over projects that have expressly said do not.

But the maintainers can use AI too, for their reviewing.

Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/mar/09/ig-nobel-prize-europe

> The annual Ig Nobels, a satirical award for scientific achievement, are shifting for the first time from the US to Europe due to concerns about attendees getting visas, organizers announced on Monday.

That story again: even parody Nobel committee recognizes how dangerous it is to travel to the USA these days. If your conference doesn't, your conference is less serious than parody Nobels. 🤡

Magnify dysfunction through automation and all you get is more dysfunction.

am i holding it wrong, or are the SvelteKit types not generating correctly? Zed editor bug?

I changed the return from `success` to `action`, it logs correctly, but the types are wrong. I deleted .svelte-kit and restarted everything - no luck :(
