At #NTLDEPLOY, @seancdavis.com, Dan Barack, and Elad Rosenheim showed how Netlify’s AI Gateway removes friction from AI development.

No API keys. No credit setup. No waiting.
Just deploy — and start building with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more.

"Progress shows up when work ships without you."

Felt this quote from @kvlly.com. It explains why I get more excited by my team shipping without my involvement than by the work that I drive.
What engineering management actually is (and isn't)
Most new managers confuse management with leadership. Here’s why that mistake derails teams and how to avoid it

A really good resource for placeholder logo assets. Why generate slop, when you can use one of these?

I found this link via *The Index* which is one of a very small number of newsletters that I read almost every time. I find something refreshing and enjoyable in each collection.

Highly recommend subscribing!
This is also a good opportunity to note that you also don't need to use images in your blog posts at all, especially if they have nothing to do with the material you're presenting.

I've used abstract graphics that get automatically generated with the title when I publish a new post.
you do not have to use generative ai "art" in your blogs because there are websites where you can get real, nice images for free

This is a cool idea! Can already think of many ways to make this useful, particularly through the use of making notifications actionable via links.

I like reminders for simple things where I need to do something physical (eg: water the plants), but it doesn't work well for tying directly to a URL.
ntfy.sh | Push notifications to your phone or desktop via PUT/POST
ntfy is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, and/or using a REST API.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in comments
