Proud to attend IBM Tech 2026 San Diego (my second IBM Tech already) and meet awesome techies and colleagues in SVL Lab 🚀
Escape game How to get from Hanoi to EU avoiding Doha is full of surprises every day. Azerbaijan Airlines seemed like a viable option yesterday. Risk increases after today 🤨

Stacked Diffs on @GitHub will start rolling out to early design partners in an alpha next month. In the meantime, here's video of our progress so far:
(h/t for @georgebrock + team for their awesome work)
Must read!
It’s official: "Neo4j: The Definitive Guide" by our CTO @ikwattro and @luannem is now complete and out via @OReillyMedia and @amazon! 🥳🥂
Packed with recipes for #Cypher, modelling, and scaling graphs in production.

Lots of folks here are missing the point.
With this change, we are one step closer to TYPESCRIPT IN THE BROWSER.
I'm not joking. It's real. The plan is coming together.
Weather forecasting is all about grids. Well explained!
Published a newsletter post explaining why weather sites/apps that rely on gridded model data (including my own) do not show max hurricane wind speeds correctly.

This resonates so well with me. It's a whole another level of engineering complexity to provide a good Developer Experience erikbern.com/2024/09/27/its-…
Public appearance after a while!
This Tue-Wed, geospatial visualization fans are gathering for deck.gl's Open Visualization Collaborator Summit 2024. We're going to have a presentation about WeatherLayers as well! deck.gl/events/london-summit…
- Property-based access control is a worthy candidate for application multi-tenancy instead of node labels
- New variations of shortest path queries are compatible with Quantified Path Patterns

This is going to be a must read!
More than 2 decades of @neo4j experience in a single book, that’s what @luannem and myself are sharing with you. Grab it while it’s hot ! oreilly.com/library/view/neo…
Neo4j Block format is now in Beta and is expected to replace all existing database formats in GA release in early 2024
The latest version of Neo4j 5 Enterprise Edition (v.5.14) includes the beta release of our highly anticipated new storage engine that introduces Block format, a generational leap in graph-native storage. Learn more:

Strong winds due to Storm Ciarán means lots of wind energy, especially in the south
See for yourself on the interactive map 🌬️⚡

Energy data: @ELEXONUK
Weather data: @WeatherLayers (GFS)
Map data: @MapTiler
This is likely going to help so much. Upgrading to @neo4j 5.13 as soon as possible and starting to apply parallel runtime for graph-global queries. I can’t wait to see the results! medium.com/@jens.pryce-aklun…
Step up! 💪 newsroom.ibm.com/IBM-acquire…
Conceptual compression! Technology should be simple to use, abstracting users from complexities of inside.
"How we built HEY wasn't feasible prior to 2020, before import maps. So if your mental model of the web is soaked in the possibilities of 2010-2020, I understand your skepticism, but please don't let it restrict your ability to appreciate progress." world.hey.com/dhh/we-tried-t…
