@drsbaitso fair! lemme see if i can get a few minutes to update with some generic calendar or ics links.

@elight @james thanks so much! I'm excited :)

gonna delete this in a little while, but here's the form if you want to sign up and if we open up some space, I'll try to get as many folks in as I can! https://learn.fastly.com/developer-event-06132024.html

@Caution THE KIDS DO NOT SAY THAT! (I'll see if we can update with an ics, sorry for missing it!)

(And pssst... if you're in the NYC area, and have been a friend of Glitch over the years, we may have a couple of seats open up to join in person. Drop me a line if you can make it.)

Two years ago, I joined Fastly with the acquisition of Glitch. Next week, our whole team is going to show you why, and what we've been up to, with an amazing lineup of announcements. I'm incredibly excited about the event we're hosting in NYC next week, and hope you'll watch the live stream — I promise you have *never* seen a tech keynote like this one. Check out https://fastly.com/instant to add it to your calendar, and go to https://youtube.com/live/pgNjS1_kOW8 to add a reminder to watch on YouTube.

@sil @robinwhittleton @glitchdotcom oh, and a very important personal peccadillo: it's just "Fastly Compute" now. We got rid of the weird @edge stuff, just made it simpler. First the name, next the tools!

@sil @robinwhittleton well, you've already discovered that, at least from a UX perspective, we're not great at it! But we do want to get better at it. This is ... something we're deep in the midst of working on. (Guess who has never worked at a publicly-traded company before and is not sure what he can say when!) I will get you a better answer asap. In the meantime, I use @glitchdotcom as origin for my stuff (that's our friendly tool) and then deliver it through Fastly.

@sil @robinwhittleton Hey! I lead the compute + dev stuff at Fastly; thanks for trying it out, and for the feedback. And yep — it's a little convoluted! Obviously most folks aren't going to use all of that tech just for static pages, but we do have customers who wanted to use the platform that way, so that's why it's documented that way. We're in the midst of revamping this to be simpler as more people use it, so please do let us know how it *should* work for you. Thanks again for the feedback.

By contrast, Silicon Valley is *greedy* tech that is relentlessly focused on the shortest-term returns that can be extracted with the least share going to labor. It also requires massive public investment, but it also totally committed to giving as little back to the public as is possible.

No wonder America's richest and most powerful people are lining up to endorse and fund Trump:

Congrats to Todd Blanche on the many many conspiracy theories that will now revolve around you and your loved ones and the many new homes you will have to buy because you decided it would be a smart career move to join a neo-Nazi movement.
