Avoid broken databases with Neon 🙃 Decided to reskin an old game I made with #threejs a few years back. Also added a realtime leaderboard + event system backed by Neon functions. Check it out and lmk if you can top the leaderboard :p tonydang.com/possible-gam...

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...

This means I can say I work at both an #ElixirLang and #LocalFirst company now, right? 😏 Congrats @electric.ax team! electric.ax/blog/2026/08...

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...

VoidZero, the team behind Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+, is joining Cloudflare. Vite stays open source, vendor-agnostic, and built for everyone. https://cfl.re/4dR0LYA

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Updated some outdated stuff on my blog for the first time in 2 years.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 ⚡

Everyone recommends Wispr and Superwhisper, but lately I’ve been using handy.computer It has everything I want: - 100% free, open source, & cross-platform - Fully local-first: works offline / no audio sent to the cloud - Supports custom words

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-...

We've shipped more than a thousand versions of Zed, but all of them began with zero. Today, that changes. zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0

WebSockets in SvelteKit are ready for testing! Please test them out and share your feedback: github.com/sveltejs/kit... Thanks to @lukehagar.com for implementing it (our most overdue feature!), @pi0.io for providing the crossws library used, and Tee Ming for helping to review and guide the PR.

Last one of the year! The State of JavaScript 2024 survey is now open: survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Had a blast chatting with Sundi and Owen on the Elixir Wizards podcast! 🧙 We talked about some of my favorite topics—Elixir, Svelte, and offline-apps. :) You can catch it on any podcast platform or YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcaf... #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus #Svelte #LocalFirst

What really excites me about the Svelte 5 release is 'sv,' the new Svelte CLI. It scaffolds SvelteKit projects with everything you need for rapid development, including DB integration, auth, and much more out of the box! 🚀 npmjs.com/package/sv
