We're headed back to Portland next week to hang out with some cool folks at the @IndieWebSummit https://name.social/2Iid7Xr

It has been a crazy few weeks! I am looking forward to heading to Portland on Monday for some much-needed time off, and for IndieWeb Summit 2018.

We are happy to be sharing next Tuesday with @IndieWebSummit here in Portland! GUESS WHAT: If you buy a ticket to either Donut.js or IndieWeb Summit, you get you a free ticket to the other event! 🍩↔️ 🌐 Check your ticket confirmation email for the discount code!

That post gave me a MUCH better idea of what IndieWeb actually is than IndieWeb’s own website. Thanks for sharing.

My slides from #nidevconf18 on "Playing with the #IndieWeb" are now available at https://noti.st/srushe/7D5URN/playing-with-the-indieweb. The irony of using a silo for this is not lost on me. When I put my new site together there will be a slides section :)

So tl;dr - different formats make sense in different contexts depending on your priorities. When you're talking to humans, month names win hands down. When you're writing an API, ISO formats win hands down. Pick the right one for the job.

•Do early design work in small, invested groups
•Design in the open, but away from the bright lights of the big stage
•Iterate furiously early on because once it’s in the web, it’s forever
•Prioritise interop over perfect specs

.@t sharing the great work being done in the @indiewebcamp community. Make your website your primary home on the web -- then syndicate everywhere else!

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercials and then asked it to write an Olive Garden commercial of its own. Here is the first page.

Q: Doesn't that hurt our job security?
ESR (paraphrased): It's our responsibility to make sure things work and the world works and people don't die. That's all I'm going to say about job security.

Lots of new cool tools are exactly like some old uncool tool that everybody's forgotten about, plus a cute .io site.

"Sorry, didn't catch that – can you repeat?"

I did that. Literally I was on stage MCing the intro to #ml4all and my alarm, set to 9am, went off right after I encouraged people to silence their phones for talks. I couldn't have timed it better if I had tried.

A tale as old as time. 🕯

“My take is that this web-experience mess spans many groups and deliverables, that we need one person/team to own the overall picture, driving it, tracking the experience, etc.”
