Professional work above that: Sanity [4] or Hygraph [5]
Does dotenvx support secrets managers?
- The typical mom & pop business: Squarespace
- Any company without in-house technical leadership: Wordpress + Simply Static
- Any engineering-focused company: Sanity
These recommendations account for common requirements each tier of company typically has(i.e. long-term maintenance, hiring, and technical features like internationalization)
While true, I think it's a bit more nuanced than that.
The most attractive companies have at least 2 of 3 qualities that make front-end work significantly easier:
- engineering permission to use sensible tooling (typescript, openapi type generation, etc)
- strong / focused product team (stable roadmap for project requirements)
- modern ux designers (able to design a component library & can easily communicate changes (Figma))
I've noticed that companies that get this right tend to have healthier work cultures & deliver on expectations without stress.Companies that don't tend to have front-end work defined by a sense of impermanence, lingering technical debt, and pain.
- api for creating pages from remote data
- developer experience
- build speed
But if you plan on using a headless CMS, your must prioritize decoupling the authoring from build times.Your marketing team needs instant feedback, your options are now:
- use client side rendering for page previews. (i.e. use a js-based framework)
- containerize your project & run the framework's dev mode as a preview server (i.e. you might as well have not used a SSG)It’s not a lesson that sinks in until you experience it but some young men only get a single chance in practice.
And these situations will come:
- being miscast as the villain by a stranger with a hero complex
- a neighbor reports you as vagrant that “doesn’t belong here”
- matching a generic description of a random suspect (white t-shirt and jeans)
- a late night traffic stop with a visibly nervous police officer
Even during these rather tame scenarios, there is no room for hesitation. You put on your best acting face and try making strangers comfortable with your existence.- have been purveyors, not victims, of discrimination within USA
- introduced extreme polarization to mass media & political discourse
- controlled enough political power to push their beliefs on the majority through law since the inception of this country
I wonder if “center of X” voices have ever wondered _why_ their opinions aren’t well received outside of their bubbles.
Possibly but Twitter’s ownership won’t help with any of that.
You will find very little support for no-knock raids but with the circumstances related to their deaths[0], comparing Duncan Lemp to Breonna Taylor is a disingenuous tu quoque.

Gatsby is also a great static site generator. Most sites render with JavaScript disabled + the framework provides some of the best tools to create increase Lighthouse scores. It's only weakness is the build speed once you pass +100 pages.
That said, the primary issues around static site generators are:
1. Build speeds - (choose Hugo, Zola, Eleventy.js)
2. Creating pages from external data - (choose Next.js, Eleventy.js, Gatsby)
3. Real-time previews - (requires work but most JS-based frameworks can do this without issue)
4. Ease of use - (choose Jekyll)
include building static pages based on an api response, Eleventy.js has first class support.
That’s disrespect worth being addressed.
Plugins are categorized separately from WordPress on the CVE website.
Lock down your WP install within your VPC & serve the static pages from S3.
If you do have a dedicated engineering team, the trend now is using headless cms (sanity or contentful) and a ssr platform (Next.js or any of the traditional frameworks).
“You must be 2x as good as the next [white person] if you want to compete”.
I’m African American and my grandparents, born 100 years ago, would tell me this as a child.
It’s not an uplifting message to hear but just about every non-white person i know has heard a racial or sex-related variation of this statement growing up.
I’ve assume it’s always true because despite all this talk of DEI because to this day - I can count the number of POC and women I have ever worked with on 2 hands.
After watching the session, there does not appear to be any significant differences from Next.
- it is newly built. Building a dollar store is a fairly cheap way to raise the value of undeveloped land so some land owners use them as an exit strategy for declining communities.
- likely in an odd location, compared to other stores. The developers asked an inexperienced city council to rezone non-commercial land to approve the new build.
Dollar stores wouldn't be as much of an issue if they leased existing commercial space but this rarely happens.
Sub-optimal land usage can lower the chances of a depressed community from ever rebounding.
