I talked with Fastly's chief architect, Artur Bergman, about why the modern CDN is more about software than hardware — and why developers should care.

Note: Yes, I did ask him about the recent closure of #Glitch. It turns out Glitch was usurped by AI vibe coding tools: "Ultimately, the world — because of AI — has moved on, and the Glitch platform was not built for a world where AI helps you generate code, helps you run it.”

For me

Today I'm trying to push the boundaries of what pixel art means by combining pixelated ASCII art (thanks to the excellent #jgs font by @adelfaure ), pixelated ink illustration and "hand drawn" glitch effects. 200 × 400 pixels, 2 colors. #cephalopod for #pixel_dailies #calamar #squid #ink #illustration #experimental #glitch #digitalart #mixedMedia #1bit #warmGrey #ASCIIart #textmode #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies

It's that time again! And with #Glitch shutting down, I got some more moving to do.

Keep me able to get groceries, car maintenance, and keep up with web hosting.

Thank you for helping, boosting, and sending those good vibes my way. I appreciate it all. <3

and I was *just* going to recommend #Glitch. tldr they'll no longer be hosting

well, uh, nevermind. And I guess I'll be making the move to those two projects a lot sooner

I’m certainly no tech hero. But the past few months have made me VERY glad that I’ve been slowly learning to self-host a few things.

The end of #Glitch is yet another one of those moments.

I DID IT. I only had 2 #glitch apps I cared about but I'm off glitch now. Both now on digitalocean with caddy as my reverse proxy and pm2 running the app.

For anyone looking to bulk-download all their projects off of @glitchdotcom now that project hosting will come to an end in July, https://support.glitch.com/t/option-to-download-all-projects/75667/12 is relevant to your interests: I wrote a script to download all your projects, *with* asset downloads, so all you need to do is manually update your CDN links (which I didn't want to do because that's 100% going to go wrong in creative edge cases and you already have VS code or `sed` at the ready anyway).

@keith, former engineering lead at Glitch, sums up my feelings exactly.

"The thing that breaks my heart isn’t just that another platform is shutting down—it’s that we’re losing one of the last places on the internet that prioritized joy and experimentation over engagement metrics and revenue optimization."

I am glad I never used nor recommended glitch dot com as it is now shutting down. It sure felt like a great project, but I am sick of the dependencies we feed when using those kinds of startup’s tools. Make your own tools or use free [software] ones.
If you are interested in an alternative to glitch, check out https://gitlab.com/raphaelbastide/stolon, it is community made, self-hostable and flat file.
