Some company news. We’re relocating our headquarters from San Francisco to… San Francisco. The best place to build. We’ll be shipping from our new, much bigger, office on Monday 😁

Browser makers: this is what peak new tab experience looks like. I love AI and imma let you finish, but I don't want to see the weather, the news, AOL slop. I press ⌘+T because I already know what I'm gonna do next, so your suggestions are actually noise. ps: believe it or not, to get this in Chrome you have to install an extension 🤨 I believe only Safari makes this extremely easy to set up (front and center of "General" settings)

I’m at the ER in San Francisco due to my wife’s sudden, acute appendicitis. Throughout the night and day you can hear the screams, dry-heaving, tussling, and cussing of drug-addicts in withdrawal. On the other hard, she also just received world-class, expedient medical care by lovely, dedicated medical professionals. What a roller coaster. We, as one American team, need to figure out how to end this opiate crisis. We're better than this. We can't have our neighbors and friends suffering on the streets, with drug dealers roaming around undeterred, and endless misery perpetuated under the veil of empathy.

When Google App Engine came out (2008), its runtime was a strange "subset" of Python. You couldn't bind to C libraries, open sockets, run background threads… To fetch data you had to: 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚐𝚕𝚎.𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚎.𝚊𝚙𝚒 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚞𝚛𝚕𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚝 = 𝚞𝚛𝚕𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑.𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑("𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙://…") When AWS EC2 came out (2006), you could do ✨ anything ✨. Over time GCP realized that the restrictions did not make sense, and that people wanted to have full control and versioning over their runtimes. They didn't want "Google's Python", they wanted Python. AWS in the meantime accrued an insurmountable lead. We're now, strangely, seeing the same play out with JavaScript runtimes today. I fully expect the "VendorJS" days to be numbered. Save this tweet.

In 2025, you no longer have to write your application for a specific cloud vendor or runtime. You should be able to grab e.g. your @nodejs/@bunjavascript codebase, Postgres db, and run it anywhere. Your “lock-in” can actually be easily quantified: 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚙 for the vendor name, deps, and specific runtime APIs in your codebase. Look at the length of your 𝚝𝚘𝚖𝚕 config. Watch for 𝚟𝚒𝚝𝚎-𝚙𝚕𝚞𝚐𝚒𝚗-𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚘𝚛 to paper over incompatibilities with the standard runtime. Our commitment is rooted both in portability and ease of use. We believe configuring your runtime or app *for* Vercel is not a good experience. And it’s altogether a net negative for the world.Vercel: The anti-vendor-lock-in cloud. Clouds can lock you in by forcing you to entangle your app’s codebase with their APIs and primitives. Not Vercel. Our approach, framework-defined infrastructure, maximizes both ease of use and portability.

Nature is healing: • Neon 𝚙𝚐 (TCP): 3.00𝚖𝚜 avg 🏆 • Neon HTTP: 4.50𝚖𝚜 avg • Neon WebSocket: 3.90𝚖𝚜 avg 🌊 Fluid solves the connection pooling issues of serverless. And works *best* with battle-tested clients like 𝚙𝚐. It’s the ideal backend runtime. No lock-in, no special caching or HTTP drivers, excellent in-cloud latency and security.Andre Landgraf: Fluid compute changes how serverless works on Vercel: - Classic serverless: Connection to db must be established on every run, so http/websocket were faster - Fluid: Can establish a db connection once and keep it open across many function calls, so pg tcp is now fastest Link: https://x.com/andrelandgraf/status/1987974748597555417

English is the insurmountable advantage of the American empire. It’s the most beautiful, sophisticated, flexible language in the world. Like a good software system, it features progressive disclosure of complexity. It’s extremely easy to get started with, yet it takes decades to master. There’s a word, “phrasal verb”, or idiom for anything you want to express. It’s extensible and fluid: new words are invented all the time and easily assimilated. New science, new products, new movies, new memes… odds are they first arrive in English. Countries and individuals can simply get ahead with the one weird trick of pervasive English fluency. I love visiting places like 🇸🇪 or 🇳🇱 where everyone speaks English or makes the effort to.spaceman 🦕☄️🔥: I am a strong believer in the theory that China's massively delayed development is a direct result of their written language offering nearly zero clues as to how characters are pronounced, or even what they mean this is impacted further by the thousands necessary for literacy /1 Link: https://x.com/meteor_cultist/status/1987635110649217516

There’s a contagion effect to good habits. When you watch your friends or relatives exercise, you want to exercise. Same is true for shipping, giving back, eating well… Surround yourself with people who raise your bar.
