@zachleat Zach, I really appreciate how you are still trying to do the right thing in the face of all these headwinds. Hopefully, better ways of working for all can emerge from folk like you trying to do it differently. I'm proud to continue contributing to 11ty after the FA partnership. The work you have put in so far is anything but expendable to me.

@patrick Patrick, what an incredibly meaningful message to receive—I appreciate it probably more than you can know. It’s been a rocky couple of years ️

@zachleat Huge congrats again!! If you’re able to share, could you further explain why you feel like this won’t be a repeat of previous models you’ve tried before? I’m still feeling fuzzy on what it means for a project to join a company

@zachleat Super apt hero image there.

@zachleat Hope it goes well for you Zach! Regardless of the FA partnership, my minor monthly contribution won't be going anywhere.
I'm excited to see where things go from here for you and 11ty

@zachleat Sometimes I lie awake at night reflecting on the fact that we got CSS Grid because Bloomberg Terminals.
There's got to be a better way. Thank you for navigating all of the rocky uncertainty and mismatched nonsense of it all, and trying to chart a better, more humane, sustainable course.

@zachleat Thanks for writing this, and I really appreciated the personal context. When ultimately 11ty is so tied to you, the details about how you're paid for your work makes it clear how good of a partnership this can be.
I'm excited to see what more comes out of you and 11ty! Thank you

@beep thank you so much Ethan!
Somehow it’s easier to focus on the work when the work is your primary focus—weird
