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

Neon now has realtime, built by the team behind Electric. Turn any SQL query into a live query, joins and aggregates included. All inside Postgres, and ready for agents.
It’s in public beta and available in all Neon plans. Give it a try and tell us what you think!
Neon native vector and text search in action. The response to these rollouts has been incredible.

I was running out on my @neondatabase free plan so I applied to their startup program. They were super helpful!! Someone (@bvanvugt I think?) responded very quickly and helped me with my application. Thank you so much Neon and Brad ❤️

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.
I'm at #viteconf today!
Looking for awesome OSS projects to get involved with and support with @neondatabase serverless postgres
