Yeah it's weird they haven't announced anything yet. It also seems like overkill to move static sites to workers

"Cloudflare Pages will continue to be supported, but, going forward, all of our investment, optimizations, and feature work will be dedicated to improving Workers."

They aren't saying outright that Pages is deprecated but it seems like it's going that way.

Has anyone migrated an 11ty site from Cloudflare pages to workers? Or deployed straight to workers? I feel like it should be easy but they don't have a workers guide yet for 11ty. The migration guide seems intense since it's meant more for pages that actually need workers.

CSS Functions & Mixins Is sass dead yet?

CSS mixins & functions are coming! And the best way to prepare is by re-visiting CSS variables.

Don’t let the Guaranteed Invalid value & Invalid at Computed Value Time behavior trip you up. Watch my CSS Day talk, or book a workshop to go in depth with modern #CSS!

Full day sessions are always rough both on the instructor and the students. I've found that 3 hour sessions on multiple days work pretty well.

I don't use X at all (left when it was still Twitter when he first took over), however, I just found that Buffer lets you schedule posts in Bluesky so I use it for my meetups and cross post to IG as well (for the art meetup). It's pretty easy to use, and looks like they have X and LinkedIn also.

FWIW, I don't think we're ever going to get back to peak tech twitter. It's just a reality.

I still get politics here, but I curate who I follow to make it more manageable. And mute and block where needed.

However, I'm more on the frontend side which is pretty healthy here.

What kind of crowd are you looking for? Following 258 people probably isn't enough for a dynamic feed. Lots of people have starter packs for various communities. Some are more represented here than others.

The ones less rep'd here seem to be well rep'ed on LinkedIn.

Bluesky Post Image Generator - Create Realistic Bluesky Mockups Free, open-source tool for creating realistic Bluesky post mockups and generating images from existing posts.

Sometimes I've wanted an image of a post on @bsky.app for a conference talk, or for shits and grins, and most seem to not work at all.

So I started messing around with Cursor and created skeetgen.bluedog.dev, a FREE #opensource tool for creating Bluesky post mockups and images of real posts.

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.
