- Run commands - The phrase is believed to have originated sometime in 1965 at a runcom facility from the MIT Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS)

- 🚀 New Post: Looking back at linkblog.io - A look back at the linkblog.io implementation
- Netlify Background Functions - Another interesting feature from Netlify, making it super easy to run background serverless functions that take a long time, like generating a pdf, resizing an image, that type of thing
- Netlify Edge Handlers - I’ve been recently using Cloudflare workers to do some tasks on the edge, edge computing is pretty cool, the Netlify implementation is nice because it’s packaged in a very Netlifyish way, making it very easy to integrate into your existing projects
