New Next in Dev is live. Short take on the @nextjs.org upgrades that matter, a few @payload.dev fixes and features, and a big hosting win: @railway.com's free plan is back. Full issue: news.nlvcodes.com/p/railway-fr...
Ever missed a launch because you were fighting with scheduling? 😬
I just released a walkthrough that shows how @payload.dev + @nextjs.org can auto-publish your content (and run health checks) while you sleep.

Here's a demo of what you'll learn
#WebDevelopment
I get heckled every time my light-mode IDE shows up on screen. So why do I continue to use it? The answer is bigger than personal taste; it’s about eye health and accessibility. See how in the latest Next in Dev episode. Here's the video: youtu.be/oQT8n6zvGEo
New video: make images & fonts fast in @nextjs.org.
Covers next/image (local vs remote, remotePatterns, and more) and next/font (Google/local, preload, fallbacks, CSS variables). Watch here: youtu.be/PhomSxLTew0

Figma scooped up Payload CMS. Doom? Probably not. The team gains resources; the core stays MIT; Figma gains innovation. I’m still shipping Payload and expecting it to move faster. Details and hot takes in the video. Watch now. 👇🏼 #webdev #opensource

Localization is important for any multilingual site, but it can be tricky to set up with proper structure and i18n. @payload.dev makes it easy, though! Here's a tutorial on how to set up localization with Next.js and Payload CMS. 👇
Payload 3.48, Next.js 15.4.x, Vercel BotID: all updates that sneak up on you if you ignore them. My newsletter turns the changelog fire-hose into a five-minute download. Link 👇🏼

Tailwind is great until your styles depend on CMS data or runtime logic.
I made a video breaking down why it fails in those cases and how to fix it with inline styles, arbitrary props, and variant constants. 👇🏼
But those using DuckDuckGo’s audience are probably the ones who can tell what’s AI generated and what’s not anyway. Still a step in the right direction: www.searchenginejournal.com/duckduckgo-a...
I’m impressed. DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI‑generated images from search results via a simple toggle. A smart move for anyone tired of “AI slop.”
AI isn’t here to replace creativity, whether marketers or developers. In my opinion, it can’t replace people. But it makes a great partner when you can ask, “What can I build now that I couldn’t before?” And then do it.
You’re either building with AI or you’re betting it can’t build anything worth your time.
The first group is learning faster. The second is falling behind.
Which side do you want to be on?

New video! This one goes over, in detail, the definitions, differences, and use cases for layouts, pages, and links in Next.js. 👇🏼
Web dev moves fast. Vercel’s v0 API is in beta, PayloadCMS fixed bugs + added security, and Cloudflare is taking on AI crawlers. If you’re building on the modern stack, stay sharp with my newsletter 👇🏼
Of course, Comet is built on Chromium, so it can only be so different from Chrome, but it’s only a matter of time before Chrome’s dominance is challenged in a serious way.
Between Comet and OpenAIs forthcoming AI browser, this is the first time I’m convinced that Google has some serious competition.
