Own your intelligence. Anyone that opposes this has something to sell you (perhaps your own intelligence back to you.) Local models need to continue proliferating. The “absolute unit” massive models may be out of reach for now locally, so your best option is to, indeed, keep yo…↗

There’ll be times where you over-guide the AI. It knows better than you and is more intelligent than you. There’ll be times where you under-guide the AI. It can go off-track, have the wrong biases, or miss context. How well you manage this superpower is the #0 skill I look for.↗

Introducing gdp-ts: Ghosts of Departed Proofs for TypeScript. gdp-ts is a library, linter and AI skill for safer API design. Under this contract, sensitive functions require 'proofs' that the caller performed an authorization check. The typechecker verifies these proofs at comp…↗

Muse, Instinct, OpenClaw, Claude Code… All successful agents have 3 key components: 🧠 Brain → model, harness (logic) 👐 Hands → tools, computer, browser 🗃️ Files → memories, skills, repos The 'easy' way is to throw all these in 1 stateful computer (a Mac Mini) Like, you run…↗

Your software factory should be a monorepo. All your company context (design, marketing, sales, engineering, support…) in one place for agents to build upon↗

If you’re not reading the code, whether explicitly or through agentic inquiry, one or more of these is true: ○ You’re a beginner ○ Software is throwaway ○ You’re prototyping ○ You have no users / revenue ○ You’re taking on debt & risk ○ Your problems are basic And btw. All o…↗

We built an agent that powers our company's internal operations called @𝚟. Every day-to-day job at Vercel now involves @𝚟. It's growing exponentially both in daily interactions and token use. One can extrapolate to the day AI agents run entire companies from here. It's an exp…↗

The big lesson from AI is that everything is code. A slide deck is code. Design is code. That cool promo video? Code. Excel automation? Code. The universe? Probably made of code too.↗

A sandbox A function A server A build Are you getting it!? These are all expressions of the same underlying compute infrastructure. With tweaks to load balancing, concurrency, persistence, overcommit… 2026 is the year serverless and servers finally converge. With no gotchas↗

YES-CODE An entire category of software, "no-code", was built under the presumption that code is expensive, difficult, and scarce. Coding agents have forever changed the equation. Code is now cheap, easy, and abundant. I remember @cramforce being asked by an analyst long ago:…↗

When Opus 4.5 came out, it was a one-way door to a new way of engineering. Agents now do most of our coding. Knowing the inherent flaws and over-confidence of LLMs, we sent a clear message to our teams. Vibing and mission-critical infrastructure don’t go together. We’re sharing…↗

There’s never been a better time to start a company. If you’re a founder, this is an opportunity to have access to the Vercel team, investors and $6M in credits. A new class of companies is emerging. Smaller, flatter, faster growing, autonomous. Agentic. I encourage you to appl…↗

There are no limits anymore. Anyone can do anything. The only limiting factors are agency and ambition. Never has a college degree, work experience, network, even the accumulation of knowledge been worth less. You can just ship things.↗

Personal software Personal computing came with a wave of mass-produced software that, ironically, was not tailored to the individual. Apps evolved to try and be everything to everyone. Take this checkpoint in the evolution of user interfaces: or Zawinski’s Law: every program a…↗
