My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

☑️ Vinext (Next.js on Vite) ☑️ OpenNext (Unofficial adapter API) ✅ NEW: Official Adapter API Great to see the Next.js ecosystem opening up like this, giving devs more choices for how they build & ship is almost always a good thing.

Cloudflare is going to be the leading platform for AI agent compute in the world

So much to build, so little time.

SaaS CEOs, if your CFO hasn’t used Claude for Excel by now, you need a new CFO. Only the curious will survive.

Sign me up! Let’s go earth! Let’s go humans! Let’s go ATX!!!!! 🚀🚀🚀

This is the most interesting thing I've read in like 3 years colossus.com/article/we-hav…

For every dollar hyperscalers earn from AI today, they’re spending twelve dollars to build more capacity. That’s the bet embedded in $575 billion of capital expenditure this year. How fast does AI revenue need to grow to pay back this data center mortgage?

Hey @vercel @rauchg uhh wtf

The token cost to build a production feature is now lower than the meeting cost to discuss building that feature. Let me rephrase. It is literally cheaper to build the thing and see if it works than to have a 30 minute planning meeting about whether you should build it. It’s wild when you think about it. This completely inverts how you should run a software organization. The planning layer becomes the bottleneck because the building layer is essentially free. The cost of code has dropped to essentially 0. The rational response is to eliminate planning for anything that can be tested empirically. Don’t debate whether a feature will work. Just build it in 2 hours, measure it with a group of customers, and then decide to kill or keep it. I saw a startup operating this way and their build velocity is up 20x. Decision quality is up because every decision is informed by a real prototype, not a slide deck and an expensive meeting. We went from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and build everything.” The planning industrial complex is dead. Thank god.

Replit CEO Amjad Masad: Being 'terminally online' may be an advantage. "If you want to work on a skill, it's going to be about idea generation." "Because the cost of implementation of those ideas is going down rapidly. It's gonna go to zero at some point." "So the bottleneck becomes, 'how fast can you generate ideas?'" "Just looking around you in the world and seeing what's happening. What are the trends? Are you plugged in on social media?" "A lot of the vices that older generations think are vices, might actually become advantages. So if you're a brainrotted, terminally online person, that might be an advantage because you know what's happening in the world." "If you're someone who's ADHD, really interested in novelty... that's actually an advantage because AI really benefits people who can try a lot of things really quickly." @amasad with @jackhneel

CloudFlare Workers might just be one of the most under-hyped products on the planet. Seriously. If you haven't played around with it yet, cancel your weekend plans.

marketing is 10x harder than vibe coding maybe 100x

Wow, really awesome. Love the name!

Bill Gurley on work-life balance “There’s this great dichotomy because we’ve all gotten so excited about the notion of work-life balance… When we study great athletes or musicians or chess players or painters, like if a ballet dancer works 80 hours per week on her craft, we all think that’s glorious. Michael Jordan practices more than anyone else. But when you apply it to the work environment, all of a sudden it’s heretical and you don’t believe in work-life balance.” Bill believes that if you want to do truly great work, you have to be just as dedicated as a great athlete. “If you want to be at the top of your game, you have to decide whether you want to make that tradeoff or not. You don’t have to. There are plenty of jobs on this planet where you can work 9-to-5. And you may care way more about your family life or personal life, and that’s fine too. But to think you’re going to excel and not grind? Good luck.” Video source: @UTexasMcCombs (2025)

Yes this is so frustrating. @Cloudflare will probably lead the way here I bet...

We burn gazillions of tokens across both @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI so we see things others don't. Quietly consolidated everything on Claude over the last few months. One platform keeps delighting me. The other keeps confusing me. I did appreciate the survey asking why my usage has waned though 🤷‍♂️ The gap is widening fast.

I'm increasingly convinced that 99% of success is just the ability to outlast uncertainty. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.
