Howdy y’all! Eleventy maintainer and member of Font Awesome here. Just saw this (I don’t regularly read HN).
Looks like someone shared the staging URL for the old FA WordPress blog on HN? I’ve updated the WordPress staging site to redirect to the new Build Awesome/Eleventy version at blog.fontawesome.com so that it doesn’t happen again. Sorry about that! You can read about the 2025 dogfood migration here: https://blog.fontawesome.com/blog-awesome-to-11ty/
"I’ve been reluctant to share the slides because I certainly don’t want developers to take them as dogmatic truth. Rather, I’d love for people to see a forest using trees they’ve planted themselves."
Certainly scrolling could be improved. I'll definitely look into improving the performance. I honestly had no idea this slide deck would get this much attention.
