@ESPNF1 Not a fan of Max, but I think we can cut him a break.

He’s been showing interest in other series for years. Plus RB’s program has been on the decline for years. He’s been carrying a bad car and tumultuous org on his back for some time. None of this is new.

@perplexity_ai Thanks for the trial credits :D

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

@perplexity_ai Sick. Sorry to be that guy, but would y'all be down to offer a limited trial or credit-based pricing model for those of us interested in evaluating whether or not this could replace other $200/mo ai tools in our toolbox?

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

Sorry for so much shipping today 😅 but, we also just launched a new starter kit.

Laravel + Svelte + Inertia. ❤️

Just update your Laravel installer for access.

[Paul Copplestone - e/postgres @kiwicopple]

we've released a CRDT extension for Postgres (experimental and open source)

why? A CRDT is a special data type used for collaboration - think of a Google Doc. The changes are merged even as people are typing simultaneously

these CRDTs are then serialized on a server and then stored in a database.

with a Postgres extension, we give the database a more "native" experience - they can be merged on the database, indexed, and searched.

In the future you should be able to do something like this:

create table blog_posts (
id uuid primary key,
title text,
body crdt default '{}'
);

then you can post the changes to the database and it will merge automatically (rather than overwriting eachother's changes)

you can use websockets (like our Realtime server) for very rapid changes between users, batching the changes to your database

A lot of people are curious about how @colinhacks's Zod v4 performs in production. Well we just upgraded all our TypeScript SDK generation to Zod v4 mini and here's what we found.

@housecor It's a nice convention though. I've never hated anyone for following it. Tells my brain this is some kinda config. Functionally superfluous, sure. But readability has value.

@jamesperkins @unkeydev @speakeasydev Congratulations!

[James Perkins @jamesperkins]

Today we are launching @unkeydev MCP in fact we are launching two toolsets.

- Our entire API
- Ratelimiting

We already have a strong relationship with the @speakeasydev team who generate our SDKs, so we teamed up to create hosted MCPs for our product.

@t3dotgg @clerk @a16z Just realizing I'm a week late here. Ah well.

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

@t3dotgg @clerk @a16z Looks like a great tool! But figuring out how to get it to work with SvelteKit is a bit confusing since so much of the source code & docs is geared toward next & its router.

A robust vanilla node SDK and some documentation for it would be wonderful!

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

Looking for Ideas: If I did a small webinar on nerd (coding/tech/contech) stuff, what would you be interested in learning about? Example - @Erieforage and I talked about Web API's a while back. Maybe topics or tech that you've heard in the wild that you don't understand?

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

@ericwastl Notepad++. Do I need a reason??

[DADO @project_DADO]

The first step to avoiding rework is DADO, an intelligent search engine that finds the information you need when you need it.

Correction: Wind energy comprises ~17% of Texas' power, not 23%.

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

@Quicktake I love how you're taking this opportunity to pontificate about how ignorant Texans are erroneously blaming wind energy for the problems we're having. You nonchalantly claim that losing 23% of our power production shouldn't be an issue. If we're ignoramuses who don't

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

@DavePMN @Quicktake I was wrong in my claiming that it was 23%. It wasn't my intent to misinform - I was wrong and I'm sorry.

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

Finally, one distinction between Cali & Texas is that many homes and offices there don't even have central AC because the climate is so moderate. Stop comparing apples to oranges!

[Walker B. Lockard @walker_lockard]

Should we consider winter-resistant turbine designs? Yes. Is it crazy to believe that we don't have protocols for this kind of weather since the last time is happened was the mid-80's? Absolutely not. Stop warmslpaning and have some respect for the people suffering here.
