Mum, I was on stage this week 😳💜 Incredibly proud to represent the teams at cinch (past and present from 2019) to tell the @cinchuk story. Thanks to @edjgeek for being such an inspiring host, @em__shea for being such an awesome co-speaker 👌 @GOTOcon #edaday #Serverless

1️⃣ RUM 2️⃣ blogin.co 3️⃣ Miro Are the 3 things I would almost always recommend to any company. @benjamenpyle has kindly offered a comprehensive blog post for RUM. You might not have time to read it, bookmark it for when you do need it (because you will need it)

Absolutely incredible talk by @VarunaVenkatesh at @FastFlowConf 🥰🙌 Taking working groups seriously, thinking of them as an enabling team in @TeamTopologies terms 💡

Aaaaand make it repeatable and get good at it as an organisation. ✅ Do we need more than one team? ✅ Will we benefit from people from more than one team be involved?

Alright. It's been a week with @cursor_ai now. Here are some early observations/signals (only three!). I have this feeling that the future is here. Or the step improvement happened a couple of years ago, and now we are reaping the benefits. Side note: using Composer is 🤯

3️⃣ Learning: I've learned loads in the process and gloss over things I don't think are important. What I find intriguing is that testing & observability are even more critical now, not less. You still need to verify your code both in dev and live. And you want to automate that.

Overall, it's been an incredible experience so far. There are a few things that need improvement and a bit more thinking, but I don' think any of them are a show stopper (unless the models stop getting better or even get worse)

Much, much, much needed samples specific to serverless. Thanks, @plantpowerjames, for making this happen. 🔥

This is what caught my eye with @Cloudflare workers in the first place. Performance is - as @plantpowerjames says - off the charts. Anyone used them for APIs as a core part of their stack yet?
The first video in my new series on building serverless applications with @Cloudflare Workers is coming later today. Here is a little sneak peek at just how good the performance is. #cloudflare #rustlang #serverless

👀 This is real. The best thing about @cursor_ai is that you forget you are using cursors and not @code at times. (Cursors is a fork of vscode 😳)
In <8 min I built a basic Airbnb app using Cursor. I use Cursor Projects to scaffold out snippets that I can use anytime I need new features. Stop overthinking it and let the AI work for you. This is next level building.

Why does this always happen to us? 🤷‍♂️ Me, last Saturday: "I'll just post my blog post and move on with my life". Me, today: I have a restyled my website with a new structure and more content 🤦‍♂️ toli.io/

That moment where you hear something at a conference and it's not just *words*. I attended the @datadoghq conference this year and in one of the serverless AWS talks, the serverless product manager was talking about a "rewrite of the Datadog extension" 🧐 (tiny)🧵

I'm still trying it out, testing some configurations, and finding some minor bugs but it looks super promising so far. My configuration: Node 20 Typescript x86_64 us-east-1 to datadog.eu (trying out eu-west-1 now) Layer version 63
