AI isn't "increasing efficiency" if other people end up having to parse, fact check and correct your work.

Make it work make it right reimplement it in Rust

Another real world Rolldown-Vite performance win:

@sanity.io studio’s build time went from:

21.9s to 5.1s (4.29x, w/o React Compiler)
49.6s to 20.0s (2.48x, w/ React Compiler)

Had no idea this getter trick would solve the infinite recursion limitation. Seems very arbitrary. Why is does a getter work, when a regular function doesn’t? 🙃

Ooh, that’s very neat indeed

A screenshot of a ChatGPT prompt asking to generate four paragraphs of mumbo-jumbo, with a response that goes like this "In the twilight hour of quantum cabbages, the murmuring whispers of invisible giraffes serenade the teacups as they pirouette across an undulating carpet of marzipan dreams..."

Using the right tool for the job

Spring Release | Sanity Build, automate, and run every content workflow with native apps, schema-aware AI, and serverless functions—all in Sanity.

The age of Headless CMS is over. Say hello to the Sanity App SDK, Functions, AI Agents, and more—all part of The Content Operating System.

One of those "finally!" features shipped in yesterday's Sanity Studio release. Markdown formatting shortcuts for the Portable Text Editor!

You can now init a new Sanity project with a remote template!

Here are some to get you started:

$ npm create sanity@latest -- --template
sanity-io/sanity-template-astro-clean
sanity-io/sanity-template-nextjs-clean
sanity-io/sanity-template-sveltekit-clean
sanity-io/sanity-template-remix-clean

Incredible stuff both from a content and development standpoint - I was surprised to see how far everyone got so quickly! Can’t tell if Sanity is really that OP or this cast is just goated? 🤔🙌

A web technology that feels very under-utilized: server-side events for pushing data from the server to the browser.

Much less resource intensive than websockets. And yet, many devs reach for websockets when they do not need two-way streaming!

Our first use of zod dates back to 2020, and we've been huge fans ever since, thank you for creating it @colinhacks.com 💖

No, just making plans for my upcoming 30 minute vacation at noon today

A lunch break is just a very short low key vacation. Change my mind.

Sanity joins the Open Source Pledge We are joining the Open Source Pledge, committing to pay $2,000 per year per full-time developer directly to open source maintainers and foundations.

Open source software is crucial to the success of Sanity, so it makes sense to give back to great projects that we and our community use every day.

That's why we joined the @opensourcepledge.com with a $112k donation to great projects and maintainers. 🫶

www.sanity.io/blog/sanity-...

Proud to be working at a company that recognizes the value of giving back to open-source maintainers and to push towards a more sustainable open-source culture.

Thanks for your generous donation @sanity.io 🙏
We hope more companies follow you (and others in the @opensourcepledge.com) to help making the Open Source ecosystem more sustainable.

The blinky, blinky firehose.

I saw a budgie and now I feel lucky

Carl Sagan, seated with his hands in his pockets and smiling at the camera. The image has been photoshopped so it looks like he is sitting on top of the Earth, with other planets hanging against a backdrop of nebula.

"But there's another reason: Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness."

Planetary scientist, dedicated science communicator, and tireless advocate for the humanizing power of science: Carl Sagan was born #OTD in 1934. 🧪

This passage from "The Demon Haunted World" is as prescient as ever.

Np! Worth mentioning that we haven't really made an effort to speed things up yet, and my impression from reading various issue trackers and threads online is that perf is constantly improving. We also use sharding on CI, which is a massive boost.

We did incremental adoption alongside lots of other changes so hard to get solid before/after comparisons. Some initial testing found that Vitest was generally slower out of the box, but speed wasn't our main motivation for migrating.

I'm just just assuming our slack emojis will supported here at some point :smiling_face_with_3_potatoes:

Adopting the compiler in Sanity Studio · reactwg react-compiler · Discussion #33 At Sanity we've been testing the compiler on Sanity Studio, to help improve the end user experience for people that are creating content, editing content, simply working with all sorts of content. ...

super cool to see @codey.bsky.social @sanity.io trying out React Compiler in production and sharing their results and experience back with the community!

Woke up today to this message in the Sanity community: "I'm absolutely blown away by how awesome the live by default stuff is."

Couldn't agree more. Check it out!
