fresh coat of paint on dotcom.press/tld-wiki yesterday! asked chat "can you pitch planet money a story?" and it pitched me six stories lol
but I really meant, like, does @planetmoney.bsky.social *accept* pitches
(because boy do I have a good one!) AI use case: Context awareness
AI can understand your codebase, dependencies, and current task before taking action. It helps every suggestion feel precise, relevant, and immediately useful. Our team wished a GTM agent existed. So they built one on Netlify.
Connects CRM, support, usage, billing, and analytics into one reasoning layer. Built entirely on Netlify primitives.
Full story: www.netlify.com/blog/the-gtm... The "what do I build next?" moment after your first deploy is real.
Prompt templates: focused, repeatable actions for your Netlify project. Skills: context that teaches agents how to use the platform correctly.
Templates handle the what. Skills handle the how.
www.netlify.com/blog/better-... ICYMI: tsdown can generate single executable files of your Node.js applications!
Read more in the docs
tsdown.dev/options/exe#... Build the campaign page pattern once. Marketing runs it whenever they need a new one.
No tickets. No rebuilding the same layout for the fifth time. Prompt templates on Netlify.
www.netlify.com/blog/how-to-... This is the vibe coding sweet spot. Static site on Astro, deployed to Netlify, admin tools built with AI in less time than it took to describe them. No heavy dependencies. No overengineering. Just the tools the org actually needs.
Love this! Astro + Netlify is such a clean stack for nonprofits. And yeah, describing what you want to Claude often takes longer than the actual build at this point 😅 Awesome work!
Mattel runs 500+ web properties. Before Netlify, every incident was a four-team fire drill.
After consolidation: zero emergency calls.
www.netlify.com/customers/ma... haha, sorry - I saw your talk! Should have said hi
speak for yourself, i've been hitting the gym
new blurb who dis

a book's website is a nice place to riff on things you'll eventually print on the physical book (title, backcover/flap blurb, bio, etc.) AI Terminology #25: Softmax
↳ A function that converts raw model outputs (logits) into probabilities that sum to 1, helping the model choose the most likely next token. improved my TLD wiki and wrote about the 2026 round:

huge thanks to @case.bike for collecting the data behind the wiki! Ah, thanks for sharing! Guess I'll stick with left-justification since they've done the research. I didn't think of readability at e.g. 400% zoom (screenshotted here for reference) I wonder if their recommendation extends to printed books which are almost always fully justified w hyphens
I'm considering switching to `text-align: justify` with `hyphens: auto`... are there any gotchas? I don't like hyphens breaking up anchor links, but other than that? I'm leaning toward the visual balance being worth the looser text tradeoff

luma.com/lqxrgthf great work hosting! sorry i didn't swing by to say hi during the thing
the good: pretty easy to make super lightweight components with inline css and js. a+ for speed-obsessed web dev. the bad: super super hard to learn, very easy to mess up, generally quite bad error messages.
under the hood, been using webc for a few things on my blog, for the @observablehq.com plot chart on macwright.com/2026/04/05/i..., the theme selector, and youtube embeds.
i'd say it's 2/10 DX, 9/10 magic, technology that fills me with both joy and fear www.11ty.dev/docs/languag... finally posted thoughts about the atmosphere conf (along with an illustration and a bunch of tweaks to the blog) macwright.com/2026/04/05/i... just to serve mode.css to do light/dark/auto theme switching without having to put js on every page :/ it's super tiny but alas gist.github.com/tmcw/2015bda...
