"What if you could just make a movie?"

My dude you can pick up your phone right now and just make a movie. The reason why you don't doesn't have anything to do with technology.

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 β€œAI” 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.
