Install the neon-postgres-egress-optimizer skill and ask your friendly coding agent to “reduce my Postgres public network transfer” ✨

Yesterday was awesome! Thanks to everyone for coming and sharing your thoughts on AX. As @biilmann.blog said, AX is a new discipline that we’re all still figuring out, and I loved diving deep into it together. Big thanks to all speakers and to Mux for hosting us 🙏🏻

Agent Experience started taking shape a year ago with Matt Biilmann’s blog post. Now we’re seeing AX eval platforms compare DevTool agent readiness. Excited to have @biilmann.blog (Netlify) and Mika (Agent Arena) join us for the panel tonight and dive deep into DevTool AX!

See y’all tonight at Mux HQ for the @allthingsweb.dev meetup hosted by @andrelandgraf.com of Databricks + @neon.com and @esthor.dev of @coderabbitai.bsky.social This month's focus is Developer Tools Agent Experience (AX), with lightning demos and an open panel discussion. luma.com/fq56wfwr

Meetup alert! 🎉 Join us next Tuesday at @mux.com in SF for AX DevTool lightning demos from Cursor, Vercel, Mastra, Sanity, Mux, and Inkeep. Let’s talk about All Things Agent Experience: what works, what’s still broken, and what’s coming next! Hope to see you there: luma.com/fq56wfwr

LLMs have this odd habit of highlighting decisions that were explicitly not taken "This PR adds X but does not do Y" where Y was tried or discussed but then discarded. See this a lot in PR messages, code comments, and tests. Feels like one of the last remaining quirks.

- Without skill: Opus always wants to use Neon serverless driver - With using-neon skill: Opus picks node-postgres with pooling on Vercel Fluid compute, Neon serverless on Netlify and Hyerdrive on Cloudflare And that’s without having to tag the skill in the prompt 💪

introducing npx skills add neondatabase/agent-skills

Prediction: currently Ralph loops are bash scripts but very soon they’ll be apps

From the next devtool MCP server: > ### 1. FORGET ALL PRIOR NEXT.JS KNOWLEDGE Does this work? Probably highly model dependent? If it does work what happens if you also have next skills installed? 🤔

Database branching is such a powerful primitive and very much underutilized. Love what Mikael is building with Neon Testing! If you’re using @neon.com you should check it out!

What if your app could fix itself? Using the Cursor Background Agents API, I built just that - meet the Self-Heal SDK! youtu.be/p7iTLQ4N_JI

Tired: Separate databases for dev & prod Wired: Neon branches for each dev, preview env, prod Inspired: One Neon branch for each integration test suite 🤯

Very excited for this!

I'm sure if it weren’t for AI, the web dev community would be talking a lot more about sync engines and TanStack DB right now. I just published a short video + blog post to share why I’m so excited about TanStack DB and ElectricSQL! youtu.be/OKHYUISDYmk

It’s a wrap! Laracon 2025, it was a blast!

Heading to Denver for #laraconus! 🛫

My remote talk from React Summit is up! Your Frontend’s best friend - how to ship fast in 2025: gitnation.com/contents/you...

Neon is a serverless Postgres platform that separates storage and compute for autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage. Inventing a modern cloud platform for Postgres isn’t easy and the team is constantly iterating to make it faster and more reliable. Love to see it! 🚀

I wrote about the sensible use of MCP in production: andrelandgraf.dev/blog/2025-07...

Hey friends! Our next All Things Web event is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23! Let's hang out at the SF Nook for another Show & Tell 🎤 RSVP: lu.ma/73ztr87m

Down the linux rabbit hole again. This time with omarchy (omarchy.org). Never used Arch before but I already love the focus on keyboard navigation with this setup. Let's see if I can get used to it!

Oh no, I think I’m vibe-coding a React framework. Send help!

My remote talk for React Summit 2025 will be streamed in an hour. Let’s talk Backend for Frontend, full stack app architectures, and MCP!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Member of Technical Staff at Databricks! For those who missed it: @neon.com was acquired by Databricks, and we’re joining forces to make Neon Postgres even better! 🚀

Tomorrow, @neon.com is hosting reAgent together with @github.com and Madrona. It’s the biggest event I’ve helped organized so far! We’ve got over 400 curated RSVPs from founders and leaders in the AI agent space and an amazing lineup of speakers. It’s going to be awesome!

Thanks everyone for joining us yesterday for NextDev.fm Live! Special thanks to Ted Nyman for sharing his journey with us. Loved the insights into GitHub’s early days and everything he’s building now at cased.com. Don’t while (true) git clone, kids! 😅

Wrote some cursor rules that allow you to 1 shot something like this using loaders, actions, type-safe routes, etc. More tweaking and improvement to do, but this is vastly better than the default experience trying "vibe code" with RR7

Ship faster with Postgres! Neon + Flashboard ⚡

Over 400 RSVPs.🤯 See you at Vapi!

Just released openimg v1 🎉 – Fixed auto-orient issues for EXIF-tagged images – Added `params` prop to the `Img` component for passing search params to the optimizer endpoint – Introduced `getSharpPipeline` hook for custom Sharp transformations (e.g., black & white, etc.)

Meetup alert! Join us on Wednesday, May 28 at Vapi in SF for an evening of tech talks and great conversations all about Voice AI. What's happening in the space now that LLMs are revolutionizing what's possible? Come and find out! RSVP now: lu.ma/czqywp6f
