Status: pushing the boundaries of web development one button at a time.

There should be an app where you upload your bills and bored billionaires swipe right to pay them.

Vercel now has all the pieces in place to host at-scale backends.

WebSockets, Queues, Workflows, Cron, Services, Containers, Python, Daemons, Long-duration Functions, Blob, Drives, Sandbox…

Any guesses what comes next?

one day you wrote console.log("here") for the last time and didn't even know it

アイロンビーズでスト２の燃える人を作りました

#アイロンビーズ

There’s a guy on TikTok who does these home tours and they are so stunning and so much fun

I'm convinced that relying on a frontier coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, ...) is a mistake, for engineers and their companies. As good as they are, as much of a Claude Code die-hard as I've been, I no longer recommend them.

The "best frontier model" is a moving target: it went from Opus to Fable to Sol to Opus again in 4 months.

These agents are built for their lab's models and plans. Yes, you can run other models, but it's not native or in their interest.

You may be locking yourself into a worse-model future that's hard to leave. As with IDEs, there's a lot of inertia in tools we use all day, and in the skills, prompts, MCP servers and hooks we add to them.

It's like Formula 1: engine suppliers come and go, the teams stay and keep improving the car.

Instead, get comfortable with @opencode, @t3dotcodes or Vercel's fx. Configure them well, use a gateway like Vercel's AI Gateway or OpenRouter, and switch to the best model the day it's out.

PS: I work at Vercel, but this isn't a Vercel point of view or a criticism of AI companies. Closed models are perfectly fine. Tying your tools to one lab is a dangerous bet.

If you can write CSS, you can write GSS { ● }

I've been dreaming of this for years: a language to build 3D scenes like you write CSS. Selectors, cascade, :hover, keyframes… compiled to one GPU shader.

Meet GSS: GPU Style Sheets.

someone somewhere is still struggling with sol and astra instead of plowing through tasks with opus 5.5... a minute of silence for them please

Those two 🤣

Vercel is generating $600 million in annualized revenue, up 148% from a year earlier, as coding agents become a major source of new business.

Agents now account for about half of new business, up from less than 3% at the start of the year.

Setting up social media apis has always been a pain

Introducing Social SDK

A simple SDK to easily add social features to your app

- supports 7 platforms (youtube, x, tiktok, etc)
- posting, comments, analytics + more
- comes with agent skills

and it's open source 👀

The "whiteboard defense:" I should be able to pull you aside at any moment and ask you to explain any customer-facing system you've shipped. You should be able to clearly explain how it works and defend the decisions you made. This is my benchmark for responsible AI usage.

I don't expect line-level familiarity with the code. I don't care if you remember the exact function name or implementation detail. You may not even know it. I don't care.

But if I ask "why did you do X instead of Y?", "what happens if this actor behaves maliciously?", "what data structure did you use here and why?", or "where does this fail?" you should be able to answer confidently.

For PoCs, demos, experiments, whatever: I don't care. Generate 100% of it and understand none of it. Speed over quality every time in those specific scenarios.

But if you're shipping customer-facing work, you can't be shipping things you don't understand at a high level.
