As the CEO, I mean, yeah, please do check out our plans and pricing!
We’re not selling anything about AI and have no association with Claude Code, though

Nothing but love to Adam and the Tailwind team (including now-former team members) today. They’ve made huge contributions to web development and it just sucks, sucks, sucks that things have turned out this way. I know he’ll find a way forward, though.

That's wild! Hopefully someone at Cloudflare sees this and can help you out

For people outside DC:
18F [1] was the government’s design group, and did incredible work to improve the level of visual, UX, and UI design as well as usability across federal government websites. They created standards, led trainings and workshops, and were a go-to resource for people in and outside of the government.
You may have heard about the US Digital Service, but 18F were equally rockstar-level in the local community. Highly dedicated civil servants who were very good at what they did and very good at communicating it to others.
In May, DOGE unceremoniously gutted the department and shut it down.
Thankfully, they’ve archived their guides on an external site [2]. I didn’t even work for the federal government but I used to use these all the time when I was a product manager.
If you happen to see a resume come across your desk from someone who worked at 18F, jump on that. You’re lucky.

That's really good to hear, thanks!
The organizer of Longhorn PHP is a friend of ours (Daniel Abernathy), and we have a somewhat official-unofficial rule that we always sponsor our friends' conferences :)
