@myAkrapovic are you guys planning on working on something for the @ApriliaOfficial RS 457 anytime soon?

more people should use spinners like this, those are sick

Claude Code + Obsidian is the most powerful AI combo I've ever used.

I literally built an AI second brain that runs my entire life.

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Wiki, this tool has been a complete game-changer.

Here's EXACTLY how to build one for yourself:

[goodfuture @0xGoodfuture]

every skeleton screen you've ever hand-coded is a waste of time

you're literally measuring padding and guessing widths to build a worse version of a layout that already exists in your DOM

so I made a package that just reads the real one

COBE v2: reliably use any DOM elements as markers & arcs. CSS transition, animation, filter, interactivity, ...all just work.

High perf, zero deps, still ~5KB. Coming soon.

Vercel Sandbox is the easiest API to give your agent a computer. Now generally available.

Try it with our CLI:
▲ ~/ npx sandbox create --connect

GA highlights:
▪️ Now powering @blackboxai, @roocode, @v0
▪️ Snapshotting support for clone/fork/resume
▪️ Open-source SDK & CLI, refined APIs.

It builds on 10 years of lessons from Vercel's deployment hyper-growth. Think: battle-tested scheduling, placement, capacity planning, regional failover, OS patching, hardening & pentesting, zero-downtime machine upgrades, …

We're very excited for Vercel Sandbox to power your next AI agent and platforms 🫡

We gave Cursor on the web a fresh coat of paint 💅

Composer is one of the craziest models I’ve ever used. Fast as hell and smart too. Edits multiple files at a time. Feels fundamentally different from other tools

[Ri Sean Smal @riseansmal]

@cursor_ai @leerob fantastic work on Composer 1! I’ve been testing it for the past 2 hours and the inference speed is absolutely insane. I’m getting 7 of our team members to switch over today so we can gather more feedback.

[Next.js @nextjs]

Vibe coding vs Vibe engineering:

🅰️ Using AI to operate on the 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵
🆚
🅱️ Using AI to operate on the 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦

The former is vibing the later is engineering.

Obviously you might be thinking: “the code is the means to operate on the product! These are the same!”

I believe on a long enough lifetime, for the vast majority of software, they will be.

Products like @v0 and @lovable exist in the former category. At @vercel however our heart is in engineering the best possible products, with the highest possibly quality, which means also having clean ejection and interoperability points with formal engineering tools.

I believe there’ll be ample success and large markets for both vibing and engineering. It’s very likely vibing will become more *opinionated* over time, to make the reliability, security and quality bar *everyone* wants.

As an example, just yesterday I watched a demo of a highly opinionated full-vibing platform being built on Vercel that delivers better outcomes than engineers, due to the constraints and opinions it imposes.

AI in the service of slop is a temporary, “AI interest rates phenomenon” (AIRP), a period in time where people paid for the fascination of using AI even though the outcome looks like deformed Will Smith in software form.

Our focus at @vercel continues to be AI in the service of quality, not just productivity alone.
