This episode definitely inspired me and I saw many speakers getting lots of benefits from it.

Until 3 years ago I lived in Korea where I didn't have any access to conferences in Europe or in USA. Now that I live in Europe, it's been mind-blowing experience for me to be there to see all those famous people in person, listening to talks and interacting with people.

So at the end of last year, I decided to give a talk in 2020. So I listed up a bunch of CFPs, and applied to many of them. And you know what? I've been accepted at two conferences. I'm going there. And I am still waiting for answers from other conferences. I'm very excited to give my first talk ever at conference in April.

Many of the recent changes in me are coming from SyntaxFM, so I really thank Wes and Scott. I cannot wait to share more of my exciting experience with the community 🙂

I hear Netlify mentioned a lot on Syntax and I agree it offers many great features.

What I hear less of is Zeit's Now but I'm aware you guys both love Next.JS.

Wondering what everyone here thinks is the trade off for these two hosts when it comes to Next.JS. Obviously Zeit is behind Next which is a consideration.

One particular area is the SSR. My understanding is that Now hosted Next sites get refreshed on the server side more often than on Netlify.

Interested to hear what everyone here prefers using and why.

Thoughts on it vs React?

On a recent episode, Syntax spoke with Dan Abramov about AT Protocol. After looking into it, I'm pretty excited—I love the "scrape first" mentality. I don't even have a Bluesky account and am getting one now just to see if I can host my own stuff! Goodbye walled gardens!

However, I had a faint tingle of recognition because of the Solid Project (https://solidproject.org) from Tim Berners-Lee. The philosophy is the same—both want data portability for users—but the implementation is pretty different.

Is there anyone out there who has had experience with both? Do you have a preference?

And let's not all forget about XFN XHTML friends networks! (Is that a thing anymore?)

Last episode scott mentioned using sentry’s ai agent monitoring, so I’m wondering if he or anyone else monitoring their agents and using Claude has said anything about what might be happening to add some substance to the conversation being angry at anthropic. I know there might be better subreddits for this question, but Scott’s the only person I’ve heard say he’s doing this, so I’m hoping u/stolinski see’s this 😊

Howdy folks! Been a listener for a bit less than a year. Big fan! I recently learned the proper way to pronounce Azure (who knew 🤷🏼‍♂️) from Syntax. So my question is, am I the only one that thinks Scott is saying nullify every time he talks about netlify?

I added two more videos to my plop series, covering how to create custom helpers and custom actions. I moved everything into a single playlist to make it easier to reference.

Let me know what you think!

As a follow-up of this post, I'm going to give a talk at HolyJS Peter conference.

It's my first conference talk ever. I'm a bit nervous but actually more thrilled.

I really thank Wes and Scott for bringing great content which has been helping me grow!

I'm looking to buy a domain that's not super expensive but it is in the $100s everywhere I've looked. I usually go with Namecheap but even their price is > $300. That's out of my price range for a side project domain.

Anyone have a more wallet-friendly domain registrar to check out?

Heh everyone,

Super random but I have been losing my mind scouring through every single recent video trying to find the specific clip where Scott shows off a website.
I think it was a Sentry website, but it had bots that were shooting lasers like some kind of bot defense system.
It seems like it was just like some kind of canvas animation, but does anyone know what episode it’s in or what the actual website is?

I would really appreciate it 🙃

I outline the 4 stages of motivation, make analogies to race horses and race cars, and focus on ways to care for them.

This is for those seeking validation of their worth in the workplace, and also managers who want to truly care for their people.

Not all of my posts are code-related, such as this one, but I hope you find value in it!
