T3 Code is now available for everyone to use. Fully open source. Built on top of the Codex CLI, so you can bring your existing Codex subscription.

I made a video demystifying database consistency, isolation levels, record contention, and pessimistic vs. optimistic concurrency control tradeoffs. (I also said "dollars" instead of "pounds" 40 times.) Check it out if you want a basic working knowledge of this stuff.

🚨 You can now author @convex components I built the Stripe component (thanks @theo for pushing for this) With just a few minutes setup, you have payments integrated into your convex projects I'll link the doc down below 👇

Cool planning agent pattern with @aisdk Agent creates a plan. Then, while there are outstanding tasks, forces a tool call (executeTask) that spawns a subagent to complete the current task

Find it fascinating that Claude Code has had so much success in the no-op TodoWrite tool approach for planning Feels very fragile to have to regenerate the entire plan at each step just to update it - but their models use it so well

The hardest part of being a technical founder isn’t shipping fast, it’s learning when not to. At @rivva_app, we were building a mission-critical feature: AI that can look through your emails, understand them, and turn them into actionable insights. It was tempting to build it myself. I knew exactly how to do it: parsing emails, orchestrating agents, turning them into structured data. I could’ve shipped it in two days. But I had a choice: 👉 Do it myself and move fast 👉 Let one of our engineers take ownership, learn deeply, and move a little slower He took four days. But here’s the surprising part — now he doesn’t just understand the code. He understands the why. He joins product meetings with strong opinions, connects engineering decisions to user impact, and even challenges product direction with insights I wouldn’t have thought of. If I had built it myself, we would’ve saved two days. But we would’ve lost a leader in the making. As a CTO, my job isn’t to build every feature. It’s to build the people who’ll build them — even if that means watching someone take the long road that I could’ve sprinted. Speed gets features out the door. Patience builds a team that can ship without you.

Me: “Don’t use any.” Claude Code: “You’re absolutely right.” Claude Code: Thinking deeply…. Claude Code: Searching node modules…. Claude Code: user as any

Tutorial: 5 minutes. Real life: 5 hours of debugging why it doesn’t work like the tutorial.

Convex
Convex@convex·
Launching today: the new Convex x @WorkOS AuthKit integration. No copy-pasting JWTs, no setting up fragile redirect URLs, no tabbing between dashboard configs. Instead, you get world-class auth for Convex projects powered by WorkOS. Zero setup, works in seconds.
