We love hearing how people describe ATW in their own words, and this one stuck with us. Jobs, mentors, investors, education, community, all in one place with no gates to get through. That density of talent with a little Southern charm is what makes building here feel different.

Had a blast at @AtlantaTechWeek with our “Build with @Netlify” workshop. It was super interactive. A few takeaways: > More people than I have imagined said they already built a site with AI > Claude seems to have a strong presence among builders in ATL > The feeling of turning an idea live to a web url is still magical for everyone > People are not using AI enough to enhance their prompts or ask dumb follow up Qs. Gotta nudge em more. > Many were worried about scaling issues for their app (we talked about how we have production-grade Black Friday traffic ready infra!) > People loved when we showed Netlify Database and AI gateway thru examples Looking forward to @RenderATL this week S/o to @bridgpal who joined me today
