I really struggle with how to balance the various providers. I don't like flip-flopping, but it also doesn't feel right to get locked into one.

So I have a Max Claude sub (work), Plus Codex (personal), and Gemini Pro (work).

It depends. 😉 Some days it's almost all Claude. But I have some other cases sneaking in there:

• I use Codex + Claude together for the agent team
• I usually default to Gemini through Raycast
• Switching OpenClaw over to use Codex
• I tend to default to Gemini directly for image gen

Claude Cowork as a co-pilot, not an autopilot In building a new mental model for how I work with AI tools, I've begun by experimenting with Claude Cowork.In this video, I talk about the mindset shift req...

I've been using AI tools across Telegram, GitHub issues, Raycast, Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and more. Each feels fine in isolation. But together it's too many entry points.

I sat down to map out a better working model and ended up with a framework that's been working.

We made builds on Netlify a lot faster.

Over the last year we've been building our own MicroVM based compute platform.

It first went into production as our sandbox infrastructure for Agent Runners.

Now it's live for our build system, and the effect is dramatic.

HBD! 🥳 And the answer to your question is no.

I love me a good metaphor. This one is solid.

On it!

Announcing npmx: a fast, modern browser for the npm registry Today we're releasing the alpha of npmx.dev – a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, built in the open by a growing community.

npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends

Here's the profile!

Quiet, empty road lined with snow-covered trees under a cloudy sky, evoking the stillness of a winter day

Found a little time to edit some photos from late last year.

I've been using @unsplash.com for web projects for years. Last year, I decided to properly contribute. I was just shy of adding 100 photos in 2025, which helped me find the photography spark again.

Aiming to do even more this year! 📸

@raycast.com wrapped is such a delightful moment that reminds me it's one of those tools that is just quietly always there. It's the foundation for how I move around the computer and get things done quickly.

Celebrating My First Half Marathon | Sean C Davis After only running more than a 5k once in my life, this is the journey to training and running a half marathon.

Found an old draft sitting around collecting dust.

Well, I've gotten the itch to do more writing again, so ... I dusted it off.

Goodbye to CFE.dev After 9+ years, it's time to say goodbye to CFE.dev. Join the core contributors to the site for a final farewell.

I've had a lot of fun along the way, and that's the whole point.

It will be bittersweet putting a bow on this thing in two weeks.

It's been a wild ride! 🔥

Co-hosting virtual conferences with @remotesynthesis.com since 2022, two seasons of a talk show podcast, and a plethora of community connections and opportunities that would have been harder to find without the @cfedev.bsky.social community.

Yes, let's get to the bottom of it. When you notice again, will you record a quick video of the behavior?

Are you still seeing issues?

Delightful! I tried three times and couldn’t beat 10. Eventually my brain becomes mush with these things and I need a palette cleanser.

At #NTLDEPLOY, @seancdavis.com, Dan Barack, and Elad Rosenheim showed how Netlify’s AI Gateway removes friction from AI development.

No API keys. No credit setup. No waiting.
Just deploy — and start building with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more.

What engineering management actually is (and isn't) Most new managers confuse management with leadership. Here’s why that mistake derails teams and how to avoid it

"Progress shows up when work ships without you."

Felt this quote from @kvlly.com. It explains why I get more excited by my team shipping without my involvement than by the work that I drive.

A really good resource for placeholder logo assets. Why generate slop, when you can use one of these?
