@jonathan_wilke @Patte87 @supastarter Danke dir, freut uns sehr!

Und klingt spannend, behalten wir auf jeden Fall mal im Hinterkopf.

Zusammen mit Christoph Paterok habe den deutschen Podcast „zwischen zwei stacks“ gestartet.🎙️

Wir sprechen dort alle zwei Wochen über unsere täglichen Erfahrungen & Learnings aus dem Bereich Product & Tech.

Wir freuen uns auf Feedback 🙂 Links zur ersten Folge und zur Website👇

[Payload @payloadcms]

With friends like these ... open source just works.

Huge thanks to everyone (38!) who contributed to Payload's latest release! 🙌

I just published a new version of my @payloadcms image alt text plugin that adds a dashboard widget for alt text coverage.

It also comes with new endpoints that can be invoked by agents to generate or bulk generate alt texts.

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.

Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.

Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"

AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

@SeanZubrickas @payloadcms Yes, that’s the easy part 😄

The edit view is where it gets more challenging, since there isn’t a dedicated slot for the timestamp fields, at least as far as I’m aware.

We’ve made all CDN serving on Vercel 10% faster (P75), while reducing memory by 15%.

My current Claude Code flow that I love:

1. Give Claude Code a task
2. Set auto-accept edits to ON
3. Review its changes
4. Git-stage the good changes immediately
5. Repeat step 1 for adjustments
6. Git commit ✅

Staging lets me confidently commit. Unstaged means still refining

[Jens Becker @jhb_dev]

@wiesson @astrodotbuild 💯😄

[Jens Becker @jhb_dev]

@neversitdull Ah, okay. Cool!

[Jens Becker @jhb_dev]

@SebastianRoehl @starter_story That's so cool, congrats Sebastian! 🎉

[Jens Becker @jhb_dev]

@marckohlbrugge I can definitely recommend you to use it inside Cursor. Gives you the best of both worlds, especially with Claude's IDE integration!

[Jens Becker @jhb_dev]

Tried Claude Code today, and wow, it's powerful!

But setting it up inside Cursor on Windows was trickier than I expected. To save you some time, I just wrote a step-by-step setup guide to set it up using WSL: https://t.co/YAMZdxeCGV

BIG DAY. @payloadcms has joined @figma!

We're about to take things up a notch.

So proud of what we've built, and I know where we're going... can't wait to share more.

[Jens Becker @jhb_dev]

Geat idea!

I would also block paths containing .env, which I frequently see in website logs.

[Andrei @ahudovich]

Blocked all bots looking for php vulnerabilities with this custom rule in Vercel Firewall.

Firewall → Configure → + New Rule

Name: Block .php request paths

If "Request Path" - "Contains" - ".php"
AND
Then "Deny"

Save Rule → Review Changes → Publish

Enjoy 🎉
