I've seen some of what Aaron's working on here, and it's so far ahead of anything I've managed to figure out for myself. (I told him to price this 10x higher but he refused listen to me, so it's your lucky day.)

They say AI is the end for developers. They say the job market is gone. They say learning to code is pointless. I don’t buy it. I think we're just getting started.

Because people don't really understand what cloudflare offers with regard to R2 bandwidth. The article explains it fully! I don't check over here often but feel free to email me

I sat down with Josh Howard from Cloudflare and asked him my most pressing question... What *is* a Durable Object? We spent the next hour talking Durable Objects, D1, Workers, and how the whole Cloudflare platform works. You're gonna love this one. youtu.be/C5-741uQPVU

Absolutely loved this talk between @aaronfrancis.com and Heikki Linnakangas. I get drawn in by these kinds of deep dives. Watching someone with 20+ years in Postgres talk about their craft and the work that goes into a piece of software like Postgres and Neon. It's truly inspiring. #postgres

I recorded a new video about building a model reservation system *on top* of Laravel's atomic locks. It's kinda wild, and I got to use generated database columns so you know I was pumped about it. youtu.be/czHUFCWVY0c
