Is there a word for further enshittifying an already enshittified experience? Just searched "electric dryer" on Costco, filtered for appliances, and sorted price low to high. Of the first 18 results, only 5 were properly-sorted appliances, non-sponsored. That's less than 30% of the results.

Built a Bluesky MCP server last week. (It was much easier than expected.) Just a few minutes of tinkering and it was live!

It's time to crank up the volume! 🔊 I've been quiet recently, but I've been plugging away, bringing way too many different projects to life. I'm coming back here with most of my social time, while spinning up new segments. Like Uselessly, which I'll kick things off live a little later today.

Netlify Database is live on Product Hunt today! 🚀 Fully managed PostgreSQL with automatic branching for Deploy Previews. Every run gets its own isolated database, so you can test safely and ship confidently. www.producthunt.com/products/net...

When it comes to design, the blank canvas is overwhelming for me. It's why every rebrand I've tried has gone the same way. This time, I'm putting Claude in the creative director seat and I'm playing the client. These are the three takeaways from the first week. youtu.be/92PWmSqtDTg

The import feature doesn't carry your Claude Chat history into Cowork. Here's the handoff doc technique — a 2-minute workaround that preserves all the decisions and context that matter when you make the switch. https://www.seancdavis.com/posts/move-claude-chat-project-to-cowork/

My new goal is to record, edit, distribute, and promote video content in under an hour, every day. I built a six-phase pipeline with Claude Cowork to test whether that's actually possible. https://www.seancdavis.com/posts/how-i-built-a-video-to-published-pipeline-with-claude-cowork/

I recently tried moving a Claude Chat project into Cowork, and was a little surprised that I lost all the context. The import feature doesn't carry your conversation history — but there's a simple fix. The handoff doc technique takes 2 minutes and keeps what mattered. https://youtu.be/5g5K2rUXZEE

✨ This week I'm open-sourcing the internal tooling that runs rocktree (my custom developer agent team). 🎯 Goal: Get it into a rough distributable form, so that anyone can clone it, run it on their own box, and manage it from a browser.

I've been producing videos for years. Even with minimal edits, it still takes 3–4 hours to go from recording to published and promoted. Working with Claude to fix that — here's the process and what I think it means for the workflow. https://youtu.be/dvtbxBHFFe0

🎡 This week: Personal rebrand. 🎯 Goal: New logo, new look, and social profiles updated to match. This will be interesting because I've always considered myself "not a designer" and I've never pulled this off without help. Here we go!

I built paredown — an app to filter my social feeds with AI. It worked, kind of. $30/month scraping service, public-only lists, too much friction to actually use. Rebuilt it as a Claude Cowork workflow in a morning. It’s now cheaper, faster to tweak, and can be redirected mid-session.

I wrote up my new framework for entry points into how I work with AI tools: two axes (how synchronous + what the artifact is), four tools, one clear entry point per working mode.

I've been using AI tools across Telegram, GitHub issues, Raycast, Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and more. Each feels fine in isolation. But together it's too many entry points. I sat down to map out a better working model and ended up with a framework that's been working.

We made builds on Netlify a lot faster. Over the last year we've been building our own MicroVM based compute platform. It first went into production as our sandbox infrastructure for Agent Runners. Now it's live for our build system, and the effect is dramatic. www.netlify.com/blog/your-bu...

I love me a good metaphor. This one is solid.

npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends

Found a little time to edit some photos from late last year. I've been using @unsplash.com for web projects for years. Last year, I decided to properly contribute. I was just shy of adding 100 photos in 2025, which helped me find the photography spark again. Aiming to do even more this year! 📸

@raycast.com wrapped is such a delightful moment that reminds me it's one of those tools that is just quietly always there. It's the foundation for how I move around the computer and get things done quickly.

Found an old draft sitting around collecting dust. Well, I've gotten the itch to do more writing again, so ... I dusted it off. www.seancdavis.com/posts/celeb...

It's been a wild ride! 🔥 Co-hosting virtual conferences with @remotesynthesis.com since 2022, two seasons of a talk show podcast, and a plethora of community connections and opportunities that would have been harder to find without the @cfedev.bsky.social community.

Thanks to all who joined me and @seancdavis.com for our #PixelPalooza fireside chat about how image optimization (and lack thereof) affects your users and your business! And thanks to @remotesynthesis.com for inviting me! I put together some interesting stats here: speakerdeck.com/tammyeverts/...

Looking forward to hanging with @eduardoboucas.com in early September. Joins us as we dig into @netlify.com primitives and the local dev experience! nickyt.live#2025-09-04-e...

"Progress shows up when work ships without you." Felt this quote from @kvlly.com. It explains why I get more excited by my team shipping without my involvement than by the work that I drive.

A really good resource for placeholder logo assets. Why generate slop, when you can use one of these? logoipsum.com

I found this link via *The Index* which is one of a very small number of newsletters that I read almost every time. I find something refreshing and enjoyable in each collection. Highly recommend subscribing!

This is also a good opportunity to note that you also don't need to use images in your blog posts at all, especially if they have nothing to do with the material you're presenting. I've used abstract graphics that get automatically generated with the title when I publish a new post.

This is a cool idea! Can already think of many ways to make this useful, particularly through the use of making notifications actionable via links. I like reminders for simple things where I need to do something physical (eg: water the plants), but it doesn't work well for tying directly to a URL.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Subscribed!

Super pumped to come out to Seattle to cure your framework FOMO at @cascadiajs.com in September!

We've got availability at Set Studio this summer! We're wrapping up some great work which we can't wait to show you, but for now check out some of the stuff we've achieved 👇 If you've got a project idea cooking, we'd love to hear it. set.studio or hit me up with [email protected]

An interesting run-down to the inner workings of a routing system. www.seancdavis.com/posts/handli...

Made a little starter pack for Moar Serverless speakers with Bluesky accounts. FOLLOW THEM ALL! And come see them LIVE IN 2 HOURS!

This is a really fun, crowd-sourced road trip using Google street view. Users can vote on which direction to go next. It looks like an unmoderated chat though, so be warned. neal.fun/internet-roa...

Today is the day! Join me and @remotesynthesis.com as we host this stellar lineup for Moar Serverless 2025. It starts in just a few hours.

This calls for a light nerd snipe @ryanmulligan.dev @taylorbar.net for the @netlify.com home page. DEEEEEEEPLOOOOOOY!

8 talks in 5 jam-packed hours!

A huge thank you to the 50 people who have contributed to our Open Collective. We're floored by how generous people are being before we've even properly started. There's a long way to go to our stretch goal and opencollective.com/piccalilli

Such a fun project! This is what we should be doing on and with the internet, folks.

I find myself rarely using the *go-to-line* feature in VS Code (fork), but I use the Jumpy extension constantly. Love being able to move around the editor without leaving the keyboard or learning vim. 😅

Using the @astro.build CLI is a delightful experience. I tend to spin up new example sites regularly, and I've found that I follow the same few steps every time, starting with the minimal framework template. What steps do you take when you kick off new projects?
