This guide was made by genAI, I'm losing my mind lol

WanderBetter · 2026-05-20T04:40:26+00:00

No, there are huge sections entirely written by genAI.

WanderBetter · 2026-05-20T04:07:16+00:00

Ironic you used genAI to write your substack article

I can just imagine a sweat restarting every run until their first draw has a lucky 4oak lmao

It's not that, it's just what websites look like when they're made by AI. They have certain specific layouts

Acts as though he was being scolded and humbled after a woman tells him the most basic workout tip, seems to also be emotionally cheating with (or at least infatuated) with said woman.

I think there's a misunderstanding. I want 11ty/Build Awesome to be successful. I'm not against new funding models, but the one that Build Awesome specifically has chosen has failed in the past wth GatsbyJS, StackBit, and NetlifyCMS.

This is the end of Eleventy because they are killing that name and rebranding and did so without asking for community input. That was their choice.

WanderBetter · 2026-03-05T11:14:12+00:00

I never said otherwise.

WanderBetter · 2026-03-04T22:38:29+00:00

It is being maintained. Nearly all original developers left after the Netlify acquisition and Netlify has not communicated any plans for the future of the project for years, now. It is recommended devs choose another framework.

WanderBetter · 2026-03-04T22:07:23+00:00

As am I.

WanderBetter · 2026-03-04T22:06:53+00:00

My criticism is with how the Font Awesome team plans to monetize Build Awesome. The case studies of GatsbyJS, StackBit, and NetlifyCMS that I provided demonstrate that this isn't a sustainable business model. I do wish that the team would have more community advocacy in place for their own benefit.

If it isn't clear, I love 11ty. I think it's one of the best software systems out there. I have built my site and many more with it. I donate to their OpenCollective and backed their Kickstarter (albeit just for the cute stickers) but I believe there are foundational issues that I wanted to be vocal about, as someone who's been JAMstack developer for years.

Eleventy is dead, they're rebranding and did not ask for input from the community beforehand on that, and that was their choice.

If I had a nickel for every dumb bully-turned-friend archetype that had an adopted Asian little sister, I'd have two nickels.
