What's new ? My blog and news

AGENTS.md gives coding agents a predictable place to learn how a repository should be changed. I use it for rules that should apply every time an agent works on the project.

The biggest upgrade to AI coding is not a longer prompt. It is giving the agent a loop where it can edit code, run the application, inspect the browser, and fix what actually broke.

Drizzle ORM and Neon Postgres have become one of my favorite combinations for small SaaS projects because the stack stays close to SQL without adding too much infrastructure.

Hono and Cloudflare Workers are a useful combination when I need a small API that starts quickly, uses Web APIs, and does not require a traditional Node.js server.

AI can write a lot of code, but the quality of the final Next.js project depends on the workflow around it. This is how I use coding agents without giving up architecture, testing, or control.

Recent Next.js releases are adding version-matched docs, agent instructions, runtime visibility, MCP tooling, and Skills. The framework is starting to treat coding agents as part of the development environment.

A dark mode toggle is easy to add, but avoiding the light-to-dark flash on first load requires thinking about when the browser knows the saved theme.

I originally used the Edge runtime for OG images and email routes. After moving to Next.js 16, the trade-offs changed, and Node.js became the simpler choice for my project.

Public API routes eventually get automated traffic. A small rate limit can protect contact forms, auth endpoints, and expensive actions without building a complete security system.

Forms can become complicated quickly. React Hook Form and Zod give me a simple pattern for validation, errors, TypeScript types, and reusable schemas.

A portfolio contact form does not need a large email system. I use Resend with a small Next.js route, server-side validation, and a React email template.

Server Actions and Route Handlers can both run server-side logic in Next.js, but I use them for different jobs. Here is how I decide which one belongs in a project.

AGENTS.md gives an AI agent the rules of a repository. Skills give it reusable workflows. Vercel’s skills CLI and skills.sh make those workflows installable across coding agents.

shadcn/ui works differently from a traditional component package. I like it because the component code becomes part of my project, which gives me control over design and behavior.

I do not use global state for everything. When I actually need shared client state, Zustand gives me a small store without forcing a large architecture around it.

In today's rapidly evolving AI landscape, one of the most significant challenges facing developers and organizations is how to efficiently connect AI applications with external tools, data sources, and systems.

When choosing an authentication solution for modern web applications, particularly with TypeScript and frameworks like Next.js, two prominent options often come up: Better Auth and Auth.js (formerly NextAuth.js).

In this guide, we will walk through how to run a Bun application using Docker. We will cover everything from installing Bun to creating and managing Docker containers.

Docker is a powerful platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers. This guide will walk you through the process of installing Docker on your Virtual Private Server (VPS).

When it comes to building robust and scalable database-driven applications, choosing the right ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool is crucial. Two popular options in the Node.js ecosystem are Prisma and DrizzleORM.

When it comes to authentication in a Next.js project, there are several libraries available to help simplify the process. Two popular options are Lucia Auth and Auth.js. Each library has its strengths and weaknesses, making the choice between them crucial for your project's success. In this post, we will explore the key differences between Lucia Auth and Auth.js to help you decide which one is best for your needs.

React, the popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, is constantly evolving to enhance the developer experience and application performance. As of today, there's no officially released React 19. However, the React team has been actively discussing and exploring potential features for this upcoming version.

Bun is a remarkable addition to the JavaScript ecosystem, offering developers a powerful and streamlined toolkit for building JavaScript and TypeScript applications. In this blog post, we’ll delve into what makes Bun unique, its core features, and why it’s gaining traction among developers.

Hono is a new web framework for the Edges, which means it works on any JavaScript runtime

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your codebase lacks consistency due to inconsistent code formatting? Fear not, as we have the perfect solution for you

Semantic commit messages are a specific format of commit messages that help developers understand the purpose of each commit quickly. It includes a type of change being made followed by a brief summary of the change in present tense. The type of change can be feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, or chore. By using semantic commit messages, developers can better understand codebase changes, making it easier to track progress and identify issues. Following simple guidelines like keeping the summary brief, using present tense, and choosing the appropriate type of change can help create clear, concise, and easy-to-understand commit messages.
