Thoughts from when I was younger • Engineer @netlify.com • He/him

I don’t usually talk about living with T1 diabetes, because I never thought that could help anyone, but chatting with @scott.hanselman.com made me change my mind. He helps a lot of people (myself included) by sharing his struggles, so if there’s someone I could help in some way, it’s worth a try.

We’ve recently lifted some limitations on the @netlify.com platform. 1️⃣ If you gate access to your site using password protection or single sign-on (SSO), you can now use scheduled functions and event-triggered functions, which wasn’t possible before. 🔗 docs.netlify.com/build/functi...

Scheduled Functions

Enable Scheduled Functions to run serverless functions on a regular and consistent schedule, like a cron job. Some tasks are better suited than others.

I’m really proud of all the work that happened behind the scenes, nonstop for days on end, including evenings and weekends, so we could keep our customers safe. Read all about how @netlify.com responded to the React2Shell vulnerability. 🔗 www.netlify.com/blog/ongoing...

At @netlify.com, we use Netlify to build Netlify. This is a small anecdote of a customer who sent us a feature request regarding our Blobs product: they wanted to delete entries and entire stores from the UI. We used Netlify Agent Runners to build this and shipped it to production in record time.

As a community, we need to decide whether we still care about the language as the fabric that binds us together. As companies, we have the responsibility to balance our business goals with the interests of the community we’re part of (and from which we profit).

This is a post about my grandma. She was born in 1928 and she had an incredible life. In her early twenties, with three small children, she lost her husband. I can't begin to imagine how scary it must've been to be a single mother of three in 1950s Portugal, but she pulled through.

Idea: an em dash certification programme. If the system can find content using em dashes that has been verifiably authored by you before the proliferation of LLMs, you get verified as an OG em dash user.

I have just bankrupted my two little nephews at Monopoly. I saw their hopes and dreams vanish into thin air as they handed me their cash; and yet I showed no mercy. What kind of monster am I?

At @netlify.com, we've quietly released something that I’m really proud of. With a single npm package, you can now run the full Netlify platform right in your local environment, with a minimalist API built on web standards. www.npmjs.com/package/@net... Here’s why I'm excited about it. 🧵

Support for conditional writes has landed in Netlify Blobs. The `set` and `setJSON` now let you perform create-only and update-only atomic operations. For example, here's how you can use the `onlyIfNew` option to write an entry only if the key is new. 🧵
