I don’t spend time here. Find me elsewhere 👀

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

Congratulations to the @vercel team for our latest funding round! I’m proud to have helped lead through this meteoric growth and look forward to continued success from here.

I’m now taking a little time off to spend with family and pursue new projects.🚀

[Vercel @vercel]

Really proud of our team at @vercel. Their passion, vision, and hard work have created the best tooling for the modern web. And with the support of @GVteam, GreenOaks, Bedrock, and @GeodesicCap, we'll be taking that to a whole new level in 2021 and beyond. 🚀

What an event! Thank you to everyone who attended, everyone who presented, and everyone who made Next.js Conf 2020 such a great success.

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

As we wrap up #nextjsconf, my heartfelt thanks to all…

From the 34,500+ live attendees, speakers, sponsors, to the @vercel team & community, and, crucially, to those who gave us the important feedback on what to improve next.

We will share our learnings and future plans soon!

[Vercel @vercel]

This is exactly why we created Next.js Analytics, because we've all been measuring the wrong things.

Let's use the Real Experience Score to usher in a new age of higher performance.

Let's build a better web.

This is the craftsmanship that I love most from the @vercel design team. Does it need to move and be shiny? Maybe not....BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Totally! And with @vercel, that’s a git push. Only instead of going live immediately, you can push to a PR and get a preview URL first 🤯😍

You can’t believe how happy I am to know I’ll never need to set up a staging environment again.

[Arunoda Susiripala @arunoda]

@cleishm Same. But I used FTP :)

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

Yikes. I’m old enough to remember when editing a webpage meant changing the matching .html file in your public_html on the (single) production server, often sitting in your office machine room :)

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

Next.js brings us back to the simplicity (and fun) of early web development, and coupled with @vercel, you get the same simplicity of deployment as well (only safer!)

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

So excited to see our team rolling out these improvements! Making onboarding fast and easy!

[Vercel @vercel]

We just shipped multiple improvements to the login and signup flows (see 🧵 thread).

@daniel_levine I use a variation on https://t.co/mNabtOSwGc.

The most important thing is to use a minimal amount of oil. Put it on the warmed pan, then wipe it off with shop towel like you made a mistake putting it on there in the first place. Then bake, or season on the stove-top.

[Accel @Accel]

We're excited to welcome @Vercel to the #AccelFamily. We believe what AWS accomplished for backend developers, Vercel can do for the 11 million frontend developers. Read more from our partner @daniel_levine: https://t.co/rMmVgyaILw

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

@ChrisPaika @martinfowler A few ideas in the thread and replies. The most important is to avoid the trap of becoming transactional and 100% work focussed. Be intentional about slowing down and creating extra slack in your interactions that can be filled with human connection.

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

I've led remote-first for many years and it's not easy. The technical/logistical challenges can be solved, but the people challenges are huge. You can't assume all those small, important human interactions occur - you have to thoughtfully create opportunities for them to do so.

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

Remote work can be way more isolating... or surprisingly connecting. It's up to you and your team. Good luck to everyone in this challenging time!✌️

[Chris Leishman @cleishm]

Don't pretend you're in a sanitized office. Share the view of the weather out your window, or the fact that your kids are home and are playing in the other room. It's ok!
