what goes up must come down

(my entire social media feed is just replying to anthonyshew)

I've got a fun @typescriptlang.org question... why can't TS be satisfied with this assignment? From what I can tell it is safe.

Literally just looking at pictures of my daughter from the school teacher, while an AI Agent works in the background. I have never felt like I had the time/energy/mental bandwidth to do this before.

Cute ghost with a pink bow holding flowers. The text says "Magnolia Conf 2025. October 21-23. 3-Day tickets start at $175. Pay what you can Hackathon Tickets. Single-day tickets $100."

terrific post, to which i'll add a couple of related thoughts. first: a lot of developers, especially juniors, tend to assume that other people's code is better than theirs, and so using a dependency (rather than a snippet) makes their codebase better

this is very much not the case

following everyone who retweets this

some thoughts about the bloat introduced by edge-case first libraries

Preparing for the worst: Our core database failover test - Vercel On July 24, 2025, we successfully performed a full production failover of our core control-plane database from Azure West US to East US 2 with zero customer impact.

We recently ran a successful live failover of our control plane database from Azure West US to East US 2.

Our goal was to validate that Vercel can survive a complete regional failure of its core database.

Here's the full breakdown:

I'm pleased to have had a small hand in this (all actual credit to @tomocchino.com).

it is music to my ears — and, I hope, to open source maintainers and community alike... 🎶

specifically, I'm delighted that @vercel.com (and others) _see the value_ in aiming for openness, portability + choice.

@e18e.dev CLI is available! Looking forward to trying it out!

I wonder how that correlates to the training data. If that prompt is successful does it also mean that devs do better with positive affirmation??

Explained being On Call to my two year old daughter, so she has an intimate understanding of capitalism now. She wants to know who’s calling me, but otherwise seems ok with it.

Most annoying thing about SQL is that you can't chain WHERE clauses. Same annoyance as languages that don't allow trailing commas on lists.

Why the “experienced” part though? How does it distinguish between experienced and inexperienced anyway?

Why does every system promote start with “you are an experienced software engineer”?

JSON is widely considered a machine readable format. It’s ironic that it became a standard precisely because it was human readable. And even more ironic that LLMs are reading plain text / natural language formats now.

I had switched to Ask mode in cursor instead of Agent, I guess it was my fault. Wish it had prompted me though instead of telling me it can’t run the commands

✨vibe coding✨

Mind boggling that slackbot doesn’t an have LLM mode yet.

Every branch should automatically get a slack channel

Also can’t get it to work , complains about nested configs

Amazing! Can’t wait to add some @e18e.dev energy at Vercel 😃

Oh, yeh this chart is JUST lint time, not the other things.

as opposed to parsing, you mean? we used turbo to run lint in each package of the monorepo, so there's some overhead with concurrency. biome runs on the whole codebase. (p99 is to capture "whole codebase" situations, the p50 for eslint is much lower because many packages get skipped)

sorry bad joke, I guess. I thought when you asked "are you", you were referring to whether or not i'm happy in life (as opposed to with biome), and I was following the joke :D
