My overriding thought going into 2026:
Problems you thought were out of reach no longer are.
Pick a problem 100x harder than you thought possible to tackle alone, and run with it.
Start now. AI will catch up and make it possible.

My first ship at Neon is live 🟢
The official @neondatabase AI Gateway adapter for @tan_stack AI.
Huge thanks to @AlemTuzlak for an awesome collaboration on this one. TanStack team is amazing!

I joined @neondatabase 💚
I'll be doing DX and leading open source at Neon. Also I guess I'm their mascot now. 😂
Orcs are green. Neon is green. It was meant to be. 🟢
I love Neon, and I love the team even more. This move just made sense.
The channel stays OrcDev. Same orc. Same Horde.
Follow along. Things are about to get interesting 👀
Yes, it's CVEs. We have a rough time ahead!

If you work in tech, this is the most significant graph you should be aware of.
We've seen the effect of this in the last two days (hug-ops to those fighting the hacks right now), but we can only assume it's going to continue to accelerate.
We have a rough year ahead!

It's super easy to take your existing SQL queries in Next.js and make them update *live* with @neondatabase Realtime!
It's only a few new lines of code 🤯

Shipping so fast! Love the excitement around it 🥳
Reactive live queries straight from Postgres to your mobile app!
The @neondatabase Realtime client now supports React Native and @expo 🎉🚀

@neondatabase Realtime v0.1.2 now supports React Native! 🎉
One todo app, running on native and web. Make a change in either and watch it sync to the other 👇

There is a bunch of "TypeScript compiled to native" projects about, but this is the OG and the one to watch!
Oh, and it's not just TypeScript, it's all of JavaScript!

This is such an awsome overview of @neondatabase Realtime, and how you can build advanced multi-user/agent systems on it with @mastra.
Perfect pairing! 🚀🥳

Want your UI to automatically update when your data changes? Just write to Postgres.
Neon Realtime composes beautifully with Mastra 🫶

Any SQL query, reactively kept up to date on front end.
And is so so simple to use, even and agent can do it!

Six years ago I was building an app, and thought "wouldn't it be so much easer if we could just subscribe to a query on the front end".
That started my journey through Local First, lead to joining @ElectricSQL, where we built multiple Sync Engines, PGlite and @tan_stack DB.
We finally achieved that goal with @neondatabase Realtime.
Perfect thing for a side project, give it a go!

Playing around with Neon Realtime + @tan_stack DB. Even the background is synced 🌴😎
