[Better Auth @better_auth]

Better Auth v1.7 is here!

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Already doing this, or still all manual? Curious how far along everyone else is.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Software's rethinking who counts as "the user." Connecting your favorite agent straight to your daily tools, no human clicking through every step, is going from edge case to expectation.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Kitoform's moving that direction too. Update coming soon, the idea: it should feel just as natural for an agent as for a person.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Generating code isn't just for humans to understand anymore. It also has to be readable for the agent that's going to maintain it.

On a 2-3 person client project, copying a 200-person company's process sinks it before it starts.

Sprints, retros, planning ceremonies exist to coordinate people who don't talk daily. We do. Skip the theater.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Working solo or with a small team? Curious what you use for auth.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Every project I ship runs auth through Better Auth now. Freelancing across different clients, I don't have time to rebuild auth from scratch each time.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Not a side project either: 28.6K GitHub stars, 150K weekly npm downloads, went through YC S25, raised $5M.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

This closes a gap I think about a lot: knowing how to do something versus having it actually run without you. Recording replaces documentation. That's the real shift.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Claude Cowork just added 'record a skill.' You do the task once, screen and voice recorded, and it turns into something Claude can run again. No code, no skill file to write by hand.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Ran it on a real coding task against Claude Code. Didn't expect the output to hold up this well. Still team Claude for now, but this is the first Chinese open-weight model that's made me actually pay attention.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Kimi K3 dropped this week. 2.8T parameters, largest open-weight model ever released, and it's beating Claude Opus 4.8 on coding benchmarks. Open weights land July 27.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Lo que cambia es el momento: MCP para explorar conversando con un agente. neon.ts para que la infra viva versionada y se repita igual en cada pipeline.

¿Ya conectaste un agente a tu base de datos?

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

Neon tiene dos formas de mover infraestructura sin dashboard. Uso una todos los días. La otra ni la he tocado. Va hilo.

[Jean Batista @JeanBatistaG]

La que no uso: neon.ts. Mismo principio para pipelines: proyectos, ramas y compute desde TypeScript, versionado con el código. Pensado para CI, branch-per-PR.
