when beginners fail at painting or guitar, they sometimes blame the materials but mostly are aware that they need to become better. when people fail at vibecoding, they are just disappointed that the artificial intelligence product cannot translate their vague thoughts into concrete representation.
being alone with your thoughts and struggling to produce an output is kind of the polar opposite of trying to produce an output by begging an all-powerful god to do it.
aesthetically, if it matters, seeing vibecoding workflows firsthand, the struggle of creation takes the form of begging, whining, arguing, more like a supplicant than a creator. it looks and feels pathetic, and when it is paired with a disinterest in learning, i think it is
the arc from "popular software with the worst code quality i've ever seen" to "seeing that software in subway ads" is unstoppable recently
Genuine question: what's the thing that stalls your AI-assisted builds?
Not the generation. The part after. The "now what?" moment.
What's yours?

pris.ly/query-raw Ever need to run a heavily optimized query that Prisma Client doesn't support?
You can drop down to raw SQL with four methods:
✅ $queryRaw - returns records (SELECT)
✅ $executeRaw - returns affected row count
✅ Plus "Unsafe" versions People think coding agents need constant supervision.
“You have to guide every step.”
Modern agents can plan, take actions, and self-correct across tasks, letting you focus on higher-level decisions.
How much do you let agents run on their own? Looking to hang out tonight in #SF - join us: luma.com/fsv7pk76 Traffic Control lets you limit how much of your Postgres compute resources any one workload can consume. You can warn, block, or do a mixture of both when queries exceed these limits.
#ZedEditor Download Zed and view the full changelog here:
zed.dev/releases/sta... Paste files and folders from Finder directly into the project panel or the Agent Panel. Copy or cut files in the project panel and they land on your system clipboard too (macOS). Thanks davidgatea!
Zed now supports Vim and Emacs modeline comments for language detection. Thanks elmarco!
We've cleaned up the multi-line search and replace experience. Select multiple lines to auto-fill the search, see real line breaks instead of `\n` literals, and hit `ctrl-enter` to add newlines manually. Thanks claiwe!
🚀 We just shipped v0.230! Screen sharing in Zed collab now works on Wayland/Linux. 🐧🖥️
We put Supabase docs on an SSH server.
'ssh supabase.sh' gives your AI agent bash access to the full Supabase docs tree. grep, find, cat. The same interface it uses for your code.

supabase.com/blog/supabas... What's next for Mattel? Leaning into AI to eliminate repetitive setup work, scaffolding, and common React patterns.
Already aligning with Netlify AI Gateway, Agent Runners, and Observability.
The infrastructure is stable. Now they build.
Read the full story: www.netlify.com/customers/ma... 74 Netlify sites supporting global presence. ~70 active projects across brands and internal services. Zero emergency calls. That last one is the one Mark actually cares about.
Serverless functions across 18 sites. Built-in build and edge capabilities. Dynamic use cases handled without adding infrastructure overhead. Developers focused on React, not EC2.
Netlify wasn't a one-off adoption. It became the core digital platform. Git + CI-driven deploys as the default. Teams moving faster without the multi-hurdle process of before.
