Forge

We're working on a new look and a whole new Forge. We're back! Much more to come, new era awaits. 🔥

Jamstack didn't win (and as a result, become obsolete as a term) because of fast pages. It became the norm by addressing architectural friction that impacted teams in so many ways. getforge.com/blog/jamstack-… #webdev #composableWeb

Building a developer platform doesn't remove the bottleneck. It moves it. Most IDPs are just a new queue with better branding. getforge.com/blog/your-idp-… #Founders

Clients don't want the PDF. They want to see what is happening and feel in control. Ship an interface, not a document. getforge.com/blog/from-deli… #Startups

Your waitlist can feel like progress. It rarely is. People sign up because it’s easy. What matters is behaviour: who replies, who books time, who pays, who comes back. If you want signal, put something real in front of them. getforge.com/blog/why-your-…

AI is changing how we build but most teams are still testing like it’s 2015. In the AI era, demand testing flips the model getforge.com/blog/demand-te…

@garrytan @cgenco Absolutely loving Rails in agentic dev workflows with Cursor

I think people are sleeping a bit on how much Ruby on Rails + Claude Code is a *crazy unlock* - I mean Rails was designed for people who love syntactic sugar, and LLMs are sugar fiends.

Just released a new kind of Forge Apps - snippet injection. Google Analytics. This is the first of many, we’ve got a long list of services we want to support and partnerships to build in the coming days and weeks.

Gave Forge onboarding a little upgrade. Complete key steps → get a badge. Subtle. Satisfying. Slightly addictive. Consider this your sneak peek before the community badges drop. 👀

👀 The new Forge features a brand new dashboard. Yes, it's a big glow up with lots of new features and clearer information about your projects. But we're not done here. Forge isn't just about site, app and plugin hosting. It's about helping you achieve your goals 🔥

@GergelyOrosz This is exactly the point. Not all coding is equal or the same. Biggest opportunity right now is in product discovery. Product delivery will benefits from AI assisted gains at scale, in time.

To be fair: this might also reflect where GenAI coding tools are the most useful? In going from zero to one; prototyping; vibe coding; getting to that first version to find PMF Once getting to PMF, products change less and there’s more focus on eg reliability, bug fixes, no regressions. And these tools are not nearly as good of a fit for all this (at least not now/not yet)

In the past, scaleups were often ones that popularized development approaches that startups later adopted in droves (eg microservices, moving from native to React Native etc) When it comes to GenAI tooling used for coding: seeing the opposite. Many larger scaleups are hesitating more, startups adopting these tools much much more rapidly

Forge is changing, new brand, new website, new app, new value prop. Same principles of simplicity, speed and performance remain. It's been too long, but it's never too late.

@avalentiner @chriscoyier @CodePen I use codepen to teach 6-8 year olds the fundamentals of web design and development - minimal fuss, maximum return on learning

@chriscoyier @CodePen What would be a good solution for students who are learning to code html and css and want to share code with teacher? Code pen or something else?

Howdy folks, co-founder of @CodePen here. 🤘 Why would you, fellow front-end designer & developer, want a CodePen account? Well it’s my job to make sure that has a clear answer, so I’m gonna thread 🧵 it up for ya to explore and understand.

We’re currently experiencing some service issues due to AWS disruption. Apologies for the inconvenience while the issue is being investigated.

@omt66 @shanselman Press DEL and feel like you’re hacking the Pentagon

@shanselman Snapshot of a great view from the past 😅

OMG INJECT THE NOSTALGIA DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS THE KIDS JUST DONT KNOW

🎉 I'm going to give one random person that retweets this $10,000. Because I’d rather spend my ad budget on you than BigTech 👩‍💻 I'm trying to promote my site Remote OK which helps you find a remote job so you don't need to go back to the office 💖 Thx! remoteok.com/?ref=twga2021

@jamielouised I can help! I’ll DM you

@getforge someone has fraudulently signed up to your platform with my email, you have no customer service. How can I get this sorted please?

@TheArcticDev @ab80four Speed of solution is the defining characteristic? Urgh

@rsrdhr @shreyas Microservices of course!

Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc the PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly. A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:
