🔥 It's probably common knowledge that Netlify makes deployment incredibly simple- you can connect a repo, pick a build command and 🚀
or just drop a folder in and you're done!
...but here are some other things you might not know about our deploys that are very special 🧵
- You can preview a deploy when you've or someone else has just put in a PR
- You can roll back to ANY previous state, with one click, in milliseconds
- You always know what state your cache is in!
No worries. You can cancel that deploy with the click of a button.
You can lock a deploy in a state to get ready for a major release, so that you know exactly what you're releasing and sleep well the night before. 😴
You can add [skip ci] or [skip netlify] to the most recent commit message, and it will apply to all other commits in the push.
Let's say you were curious about what your site looked like 4 years ago. Aside from the fact that you can actually just redeploy that version of the site since it's atomic, you can also download that version in time, and revisit your older approach!
You don't have to incur heavy JS costs of A/B testing frameworks. You can send traffic to different versions of your site, and add google analytics to the different branches too :)

On Wednesday, The New York Times published a blockbuster report on the failures of Facebook’s management team during the past three years. It's.... not flattering, to say the least. Here are six follow-up questions that merit more investigation. 1/
1) During the past year, most of the anger at Facebook has been directed at Mark Zuckerberg. The question now is whether Sheryl Sandberg, the executive charged with solving Facebook’s hardest problems, has caused a few too many of her own. 2/ https://t.co/DTsc3g0hQf
2) One of the juiciest sentences in @nytimes’ piece involves a research group called Definers Public Affairs, which Facebook hired to look into the funding of the company’s opposition. What other tech company was paying Definers to smear Apple? 3/ https://t.co/DTsc3g0hQf
3) The leadership of the Democratic Party has, generally, supported Facebook over the years. But as public opinion turns against the company, prominent Democrats have started to turn, too. What will that relationship look like now? 4/
4) According to the @nytimes, Facebook worked to paint its critics as anti-Semitic, while simultaneously working to spread the idea that George Soros was supporting its critics—a classic tactic of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists. What exactly were they trying to do there? 5/
