I’m an American in Canada and I know Americans won’t care about Canada. But Canadians are changing travel plans and avoiding buying American. This feels different. The NAFTA change was unnecessary but weathered. These tariffs are stupid and I wonder about a future America with few friends

this weeks neon changelog is a banger! - pg17 default - pg_cron - autoscaling connections - AgentStack and Composio - Auth.js Adapter - Perplexity mode for docs

Gonna segment out the Neon Changelog from docs search results into another tab. Getting too much noise in our docs search. it'll show up as another tab, like GitHub. WDYT?

Compliance systems like Vanta need a marketplace to acquire compliant tools. After you achieve SOC2 or ISO, the slowdown in getting access to new tools is painful. A directory of no-permission-required tools that "match your level of compliance" would be super valuable to continue to move fast
