A favorite part of my job is making technical educational videos. I’m also really into photography, so bringing that energy into video has been lots of fun. If you’re curious what I work on outside the neon / web dev world, here’s the latest 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHoG...

Any starship.rs + @neon.com users out there? 🚀💚 I just made a PR for the latest neonctl@2.28.0 release that makes it easy to show your current Neon branch right in your prompt! Copy-paste setup (or hand it to your coding agent) here: gist.github.com/thisistonyda...

Today, VoidZero joins Cloudflare. Vite remains MIT, vendor-neutral, and stewarded by the same wider team. The same goes for Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc. Cloudflare is also committing $1M to an OSS fund to support independent development in the Vite ecosystem.

Very sad to hear that Thinking Elixir is ending 😢 It was one of my favorite Elixir podcasts that I listened to weekly. If you're looking to fill the void, here are 3 Elixir podcasts that are still running: 1. Elixir Mentor 2. BEAM There, Done That 3. Elixir Wizards Lmk if you know of any others!

Still the best explanation of CRDTs I've seen. Pretty sure this was the article that finally made CRDTs click for me.

the single biggest criticism svelte has received over the years is 'you can't have multiple components in a file'. so we fixed it! by making them unnecessary. with declaration tags (svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...), snippets/each blocks/etc can have their own state: svelte.dev/playground/a...

Updated some outdated stuff on my blog for the first time in 2 years. The site is still running on @astro.build v3 and @svelte.dev v4, which are both probably considered ancient in 2026 😅 Still gets a perfect Lighthouse score on mobile & desktop. Good web tech ages well ⚡

Watching an @elixirconf.bsky.social talk by @steffend.me and saw my name as a contributor to Phoenix! That's what I love about open source. You can contribute to tools you actually use and love, and become part of something bigger than yourself :) #ElixirLang

I've had the pleasure of working with Philip from @neon.com/databricks docs team over the past weeks and I'm truly impressed by the care he puts into making docs accessible to both humans and agents. Definitely worth a read if you're improving your docs for the agentic age. neon.com/blog/agents-...

Agents grew up, so did our docs - Neon

A year ago, if you asked an agent about Neon, you got whatever it half-remembered from training. Now it goes looking and reads what it finds. Our docs were written for humans who scroll, not machines ...
