After all these years in tech I'm convinced there's a ton of value in just being a kind person.

Today, the AI interface is just as important as UI and API. If you use Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, run npx neonctl@latest init to: - Link Neon account - Install MCP - Add context and rules (via MCP) Try it and let us know your feedback

AI agents aren’t LLMs but distributed systems that write and execute code. If your AI can run SQL migrations, you’ve entered the world of DevOps. This is how @anythingai manages the hidden ops layer behind their Max agent 🧵

I am captivated by this debate... everything will converge eventually, right?
How should we scaffold LLM rules? Adding content to AGENTS​.md bloats context. We could create <TOPIC​.md> files and reference them in AGENTS​.md but where should they live? Are Cursor rules the best approach because they offer folder structure?

Serverless and separation of storage and compute give you pricing advantage. It’s cheaper for us to run Postgres and our users don’t need to over provision for peak. We will keep passing those benefits to our users.

still can't believe we had the chance to make a whole season of a game show. extremely grateful to @neondatabase, @ClerkDev, and @CodePen for sponsoring categories on the wheel — love to see companies that understand how important it is to create community moments together 💜

agent building platforms rn are like the free web hosting services of the late 90s. we need the next Squarespace not the next Tripod.

Hey Azure-using friends! @bvanvugt and I are looking for folks who use Azure to run their business to give us feedback on a new integration – should only take about 30 minutes, and you get to see some shiny new @neondatabase features in the process. Reply or DM if interested.
