we've released a CRDT extension for Postgres (experimental and open source) why? A CRDT is a special data type used for collaboration - think of a Google Doc. The changes are merged even as people are typing simultaneously these CRDTs are then serialized on a server and then stored in a database. with a Postgres extension, we give the database a more "native" experience - they can be merged on the database, indexed, and searched. In the future you should be able to do something like this: create table blog_posts ( id uuid primary key, title text, body crdt default '{}' ); then you can post the changes to the database and it will merge automatically (rather than overwriting eachother's changes) you can use websockets (like our Realtime server) for very rapid changes between users, batching the changes to your database

this is a fascinating approach to AI tools @josevalim : a chat interface, running in your browser, so it can leverage all the browser tools/telemetry it hooks into your dev server, so it has deep integration with your framework + logs + code

i decided to try GHoShtTTy instead of warp for like 1 minute ... no search, no colored tabs, no renaming tabs? straight to the trash even before i find out what other terminal features are missing. warp CLEARS

Episode 107: Language Design Deep Dive with @josevalim! 🎉 I tried something different in this episode: we were both using @zeddotdev to write example code in realtime in shared buffers, Google Docs-style, as we talked about language design. It was really fun!

.@AnthropicAI will support stateless remote MCP servers with “just HTTP” as transport. We’re quite excited about this! So we gave a “lightning talk” at an MCP meetup hosted by @paulgb @CloudflareDev yesterday.

I am reading about Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT). And I came across these fantastic implementations by Evan Wallace! It's interesting to see how real-world collaborative applications work with the help of these data structures and algorithms! Links in 🧵
