I made a silly video about the new Push to Pantheon GitHub Action that enables simpler pushing to @pantheon.io for those using Actions from @github.com. Try it if you already need to push to Pantheon as part of your GitHub Actions flow.

Hey! A clear API for deploying Next.js

A slide of many quotes praising collaboration across companies.

a slide saying "Deployment Adapters API: A clear contract for a predictable platform integration"

Steve Persch @stevector.com · 13d

Yeesssss. I'm liking what I'm seeing in the NextConf livestream. Next.js has been bending the meaning of "static" and "dynamic" for a long time. It's good to be up front about it.

Next.js 16 is still investing heavily in HTTP streaming which may be counterproductive for many sites.

Screenshot of the Next.js conf livestream. The slide says "Cache Components: Dynamic by default"

A slide that says "Partial Prerendering: Static and dynamic. For all routes."

Back to work after a week on Lake Superior

A photo of my oldest son and I walking on the breakwater in Grand Marias harbor. We have or hands on each others backs for safety and guidance. We are walking away from the camera which was held by my father. Stare at the photo for more than a few seconds and you will hear “Cat’s in the Cradle” playing alongside a few tears dropping.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Slack and Microsoft Teams are social media platforms. Post accordingly!

Pro tip, you can unapologetically put an emoji reaction on your own messages. They can’t stop you.

So go ahead, put a ha ha or a !! on your next message. Get the ball rolling in the teams meeting by reacting to your own jokes.

Spelling fix in humans.txt by fauxalgore · Pull Request #19 · department-of-veterans-affairs/dsva

Was this line was a Freudian slip? After all, the messaging around HTML5 was overly sanctimonious and perhaps deserving of a little resentment. I preferred HTML 3.2 myself 😉 But in all seriousness,...

I'm putting together a slide deck about collaborative documentation editing and pull requests. Gotta include a screenshot of the time when, as Faux Al Gore, I got a typo fix merged into a government repo.

A screenshot of the pull request interface on GitHub. The PR is titled "Spelling fix in humans.txt" and the body shows fauxalgore saying:

But in all seriousness, keep up the good work. And thank you for participating in the open government movement.

On @pantheon.io you can try pretty much all of the tooling for deploying WordPress/Drupal without a credit card. You need to pay when you want to connect your real domain name.

You won’t see it directly on the video feed, but know that as I do this @pantheon.io livestream with @jazzsequence.com in an hour about @github.com integration, I will be oh so much more effective because, for the first time, I’ll be streaming from my new double-standing desk situation.
