gRegor Good testimonial in this comment (in reply to a good post, too): "Fully embracing the very IndieWeb concept of a personal website has helped me shake this feeling of FOMO" https://www.zinzy.website/2023-03-05-07-41-54

[Murray] A nice write-up on authoring friction in SSGs/flat-file systems, versus complexity of content management systems, and just blogging in general (feels relevant, but unsure for where): https://darthmall.net/weblog/2023/thoughts-on-my-publishing-workflow/

# [benatwork] That's extremely cool

# [tw2113_Slack_] pretty sure i interviewed with Automattic once many years ago, I believe I got turned down because they figured I’d be too bored with the position?
# [tw2113_Slack_] may have been more support than anything
# [tw2113_Slack_] Nonetheless, this sounds like a promising position
# [tw2113_Slack_] Coming soon: ActivityPub in Jetpack 😛
# [pfefferle] 😳

# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> An interesting use case is to make company documentation queryable.

# [pfefferle] Thanks tantek and sknebel!
# [pfefferle] GWG sure, I have some contingents
# [pfefferle] Now that open web is my job, I hope I will be able to attend some indiewebcamps
# [pfefferle] When is that?
# Loqi Beyond Tellerrand is (often abbreviated btconf) an annual web conference in Düsseldorf, Germany since 2011 (additional cities since), which has supported and helped sponsor the adjacent IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf annually since 2015 https://indieweb.org/btconf

# [tantek] because this was before I was blogging about every session (which, tbh, always blog about every session you go to at every conference, because it's very likely you'll want to refer to lt years later), and because web search is very bad at finding things 20 years old, I have to go look something up in print
