yay thank you! DMd you :)

my "the typescript team wants to do it but doesn't have enough staff and can't get this work prioritized enough to spend the time on it but the vscode team really seems to have a lot of money and staff and this may indicate something about corporate priorities" sweater is raising other questions

my "this thread in the microsoft typescript repo about why typescript doesn't implement the microsoft language serve protocol to support other editors when the microsoft vscode editor typescript support is good says something about microsoft and market power" tshirt is raising a lot of questions

Which autogenerated values do you use the most in your Prisma schemas? Let us know!

☝️ In the same realm, we have `uuid()` which is a Universally Unique ID.

This type is common across the web and Prisma supports version 4 (the default) and version 7.

⏰ Let's take a time out to talk about DateTimes. 

We've got a function called `now()` which will give us the current timestamp. 

This is useful when we want to track a DateTime at the moment the record is affected, like a `createdAt` field, for example.

🔬 Sticking with IDs, next up is `nanoid()`.

This ID type can vary in length. The function accepts an integer value between 2 and 255 that specifies the length of the generate ID (the default is 21).

📈 Next up is one you've probably seen before: `autoincrement()`.

This one is useful if you're tracking your IDs with an `Int` type and you want to automatically bump the number for new records.

🚗 First up, we've got `auto()`. This one's a bit of an outlier because it's only used in MongoDB.

Reach for this one to automatically generate an `ObjectId`!

You've probably used some attribute functions in your Prisma schema. 

These are the functions you can pass into `default()` to get an autogenerated value

But do you know all of them? 👀

Here's a rundown from A to Z 👇

I’ll DM! ☺️
