I don’t usually talk about living with T1 diabetes, because I never thought that could help anyone, but chatting with @scott.hanselman.com made me change my mind. He helps a lot of people (myself included) by sharing his struggles, so if there’s someone I could help in some way, it’s worth a try.

- Do a quick research on the condition: how it differs from T2 diabetes, what you can do help them if they are struggling, etc. - Ask them how you can best support them - Cut them some slack, because they may be having an awful day even though they’re doing everything right

Living with this condition is like having to juggle 3 balls, 24/7. You can still do (almost) everything a functional and productive adult can do, as long as you can do it with one hand. You can’t drop the balls. And that’s on a good day.

We’ve recently lifted some limitations on the @netlify.com platform. 1️⃣ If you gate access to your site using password protection or single sign-on (SSO), you can now use scheduled functions and event-triggered functions, which wasn’t possible before. 🔗 docs.netlify.com/build/functi...

3️⃣ This is a small one, but people (and especially agents) like to define a `path` property in functions that matches the default /.netlify/functions/<name> URL. This was not allowed, but is now. 🔗 docs.netlify.com/build/functi...

As a community, we need to decide whether we still care about the language as the fabric that binds us together. As companies, we have the responsibility to balance our business goals with the interests of the community we’re part of (and from which we profit).

This is a post about my grandma. She was born in 1928 and she had an incredible life. In her early twenties, with three small children, she lost her husband. I can't begin to imagine how scary it must've been to be a single mother of three in 1950s Portugal, but she pulled through.

She remarried my grandpa, also a widower with three kids, and they had two kids together. "I had 5 kids, my husband had 5 kids, none of them died but there's only 8 of them". She loved saying this and seeing people getting really confused. One of the many riddles and jokes in her vast repertoire.

The same edge function that does the Blobs lookup also transforms the HTML to set the title and the dynamically-rendered image in the different meta tags. This means that when you share a link, the crawler that fetches the metadata will see the tags modified by the edge function.

Shareability was important. When you share a sandwich with your friends, I wanted it to unfurl to the specific name and ingredient combination you chose, not a generic set. This is challenging with single-page applications though, since crawlers will just see an empty page shell.

When you save a sandwich, the client calls an API endpoint served by a serverless function. It takes the data and saves it to a Netlify Blobs store. It generates a unique ID and uses the conditional writes feature to ensure that we don't accidentally overwrite an existing entry.

This is a vanilla @vite.dev single-page application, vibe-coded with @windsurfai.bsky.social and Claude Code. There was very little that I coded by hand. All images were generated with ChatGPT and then resized/optimised with the ImageMagick CLI, through a script I also vibe-coded.
