leerob @leerob.com · 19/07/2025I'm joining Cursor to teach the future of coding! There are millions of developers learning how to use AI and they need pragmatic advice: 1. We need to teach new developers strong foundations, so they know what to learn, and how to solve issues when debugging. (1/5) 91020

leerob @leerob.com · 29/04/2025If you're using AI models, how are you making sure it uses the right version of a given library? llms.txt? MCP? Context7? RAG? Web search? Another acronym? Seems like there's a million ways. 390
leerob @leerob.com · 25/04/2025Just shipped improved deployment docs for Next.js. Tbh, there was unnecessary promotion for Vercel. It now lists Vercel the same as any other provider.

leerob @leerob.com · 04/04/2025One of the hardest parts about community management is that even after you ship, it sometimes takes *years* for people to update their knowledge of the product. 5413

leerob @leerob.com · 01/01/2025I don't think people realize how obvious it is when you reply to posts with AI slop. There are certain words (cc delve) that are immediate red flags. The vibe just feels off. 8510

leerob @leerob.com · 27/12/2024I think I've finally figured out the best way to teach next/image, and that's to build a small version from scratch (including the image optimizer) so you really appreciate the abstraction. Working on a video... anything you want to see me touch on here? 6660

leerob @leerob.com · 03/12/2024Loading SVGs that support light/dark mode is painful. If you try to inline a <style> tag, it won't work in Safari. And unless you're going inline the SVG, the only solution as far as I can tell is to make two SVG files. Then you have to use a <picture> element to include each file. 20962

leerob @leerob.com · 30/11/2024Most developer marketing is just... not very good. And it's usually because developers aren't involved. Sounds obvious, yet still surprisingly common. How are you going to market F1 cars and not know anything about racing? 9570
