Tomorrow at 10:45 AM, PlanetScale’s own
@atechgirl.bsky.social will be presenting at the MySQL + Heatwave summit!
The talk will cover how PlanetScale offers unlimited scalability and powerful features for operating large MySQL databases. 
See what others are building with Directus: directus.io/built-with-... This separation of concerns means VHV can update pricing, add new products, or change marketing materials without rebuilding their applications.
The result is more than technical efficiency - it's a competitive edge in Germany's insurance market. What makes this approach powerful? Directus handles the complex data management behind the scenes, while the frontend technologies deliver excellent user experiences. The new system delivers:
• Tariff calculators that update instantly across all platforms
• Centralized marketing shops for consistent brand messaging
• Self-service broker portal with real-time resources
• Simple APIs that connect to core insurance systems
• Development focus on CX, not maintenance By connecting their Angular and Next.js frontends to a unified backend built with Directus, Neoskop completely changed how VHV manages their digital sales tools. VHV Insurance needed to serve 10,000+ brokers with tariff calculators, marketing tools, and resources - but maintaining separate systems for each was slowing them down. 🧵

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how Prisma 6.6 came together — and ask your questions live.
We’ll cover:
• The new prisma-client generator
• ESM support
• D1 & Turso migrations
🧵 Event details in the thread below. 
i'd probably prefer a5 over h3 for a new project because of the more consistent cell sizes and the fact that the ref impl is in ts instead of c, and the fact that h3 is not purely hexagonal always annoyed me. but i am not seriously making that choice so idk. both are cool!
nice off-the-shelf non-rectangular tilings are nice and i'm glad they exist - they're really useful for visualization, sometimes useful for data joins. i think they're sometimes overused (like their use in database-like spatial indexes or as an alternative to storing coords for known locations)
the popular kid right now is h3 h3geo.org which is hexagons and a few pentagons thrown in because there's no pure-hexagonal tiling of a sphere a new pentagonal challenger enters the geospatial tesselation wars a5geo.org 
This is your chance to dive deep into how Prisma 6.6 works—and why we made certain decisions.

Come hack with us!
this has been my feeling about vscode since the beginning and it is being vindicated bigtime right now with the crackdown on forks and access to extensions
my mental model with microsoft has been that it is a company staffed by good people that is nevertheless permanently evil because of a pact with the devil made decades ago and to view everything that comes out of it with the maximum skepticism
i wonder if typescript becoming a go native binary will open the door to microsoft making a closed source distribution and/or addons
Will DM!
DevOps: Trust the Process™ 
After more than 6 months of working on the local-first landscape resource together with @jessmart.in, we're getting very close to launching it.
We already included many local-first/sync technologies but now is still a great time to be included. Reach out!
