Engineering Manager at @vercel. @_amishap is No. 1 best. 🦋
Nerd sniping the entire engineering org to try out the new noFoatingPromises rule in @biomejs
We’re getting close to shipping Turbopack for all Next.js apps, and I’m hiring an Engineering Manager to help us finish the swing and lead what’s next. If you’ve led devtools or systems teams and care about rust, DX, performance, and scale: DM me or check the link in reply 🫡
Most annoying thing about SQL is that you can't chain WHERE clauses. Same annoyance as languages that don't allow trailing commas on lists.
JSON is widely considered a machine readable format. It’s ironic that it became a standard precisely because it was human readable. And even more ironic that LLMs are reading plain text / natural language formats now.
👂 What backend frameworks do you want to deploy to Vercel with zero-configuration? Your answers will drive my roadmap, so please reply or DM. Ones I know of currently: → Nitro (Shipped last week) → Express.js → Hono → Nest.js → Fastify? → FastAPI?
NuxtLabs, creators of Nuxt and Nitro, are joining Vercel. Same license, roadmap, and open governance, but now in a joint mission to build the best web.
I wonder if there's overlap between the people who're really good at writing clear prompts for coding tasks and the people who're really good at writing clear git commits. Seems that prompts could be seen as writing the commit first?
We (i.e. @zacowan_) just deleted 1500 lines of extremely annoying code that manually promotes deployments, by using the new Promotion Requirements feature on Vercel
You can now manage multiple projects as a single application with Vercel Microfrontends. This improves velocity for large apps, supports independent teams, and enables incremental migration. Available in Limited Beta to Enterprise teams. vercel.com/changelog/verc…
It should be a red flag if the most visited doc in your eng org is "how to force merge a PR"
Just casually deleted ~4000 branches from 2 repos at work. Happy Friday!
We removed GitHub’s merge queue and have (nearly) doubled the number of PRs merged every week.
Excited to share I've joined @vercel to work on the platform for the AI native web. Thank you @tomocchino @rauchg and team-Vercel for this opportunity 🖤. Want to build fast, beautiful, AI applications? We have so much cooking for you! DM me to partner or join our PM/Eng team!
Running end-to-end tests in GitHub Actions against Vercel deployments just got a whole lot easier.
You can now use `repository_dispatch` events to trigger GitHub Action workflows in response to Vercel deployment events. Previously, payloads required extra work to understand what changed. Now, we send custom JSON payloads with full deployment context. vercel.com/changelog/trig…
