Coming up with magic directives in a vacuum that make the language unlearnable is not the way.

Congrats, my friend!
Both functions and edge functions have access to the client IP (via `context.ip`), so you can use that to programmatically change the behaviour in any way you like (including blocking).

👋 Netlify engineer here. That’s odd. Can you share the URLs where you’re seeing this behaviour?

She'd been bedridden for years now, and every time I went to see her I thought I was going to bring her some joy. Except it was always the other way around — despite her poor health, she was the one lifting others up, with a positivity I'll forever admire.
She passed away today and I'll miss her.

She remarried my grandpa, also a widower with three kids, and they had two kids together.
"I had 5 kids, my husband had 5 kids, none of them died but there's only 8 of them".
She loved saying this and seeing people getting really confused. One of the many riddles and jokes in her vast repertoire.

That’s great feedback, thanks!

Yeah, that would happen. Why do you use the `--offline` flag, if I may ask? Is it literally when you're working without an internet connection, or is there another use case?

My pleasure. I selfishly focused my replies on the paper cuts because I can use your feedback to improve the experience, but the write up is great and a really clever use of the Netlify primitives!

That's fair! Would you find it useful if the CLI cached the last configuration it retrieved from the UI and used that when you run it with the `--offline` flag, as opposed to silently using only the local configuration?

I suspect that setting those is what causes the `ntl dev` flow to not work properly. We should be able to detect all those settings automatically and route the calls to the local server. It's strange that it didn't work for you.

The default functions directory is `netlify/functions` (not `.netlify`!). If you use that, you don't need to configure anything in netlify.toml.
I hope this helps. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and thanks again for sharing this!
