More engineers should mean more confidence. Right? We surveyed 130 engineers for the 2026 AI in Production benchmark. 26% of small teams are very confident at 2-3x scale. 13% of mid teams. 0% of teams with 500+ engineers. The gap isn't tooling. It's context across the stack. Link in thread ↓
Node.js Worker Threads Are Problematic, but They Work Great for Us, by @inngest.com: https://www.inngest.com/blog/node-worker-threads #nodejs #workerthreads #eventloop
Node.js worker threads are problematic, but they work great for us - Inngest Blog
Worker threads solve real problems, but they come with constraints that Go, Rust, and Python developers would never expect. Here's what we learned moving Inngest Connect's internals off the main thread.

It was a blast joining Jason for this podcast - a great lineup of initial guests too! Check it out ⬇️
another late ship, with help from @ichris.bsky.social: we're launching a new podcast at @codetv.dev called The Web Dev Podcast these are short (15–30 min), video and audio options, talking to experts in tech about what's new in tools + how they fit into your stack codetv.dev/series/web-d...

Love starting the day and seeing messages like this in our Discord. Fuel for the day!
They’re selling Girl Scout cookies at the brewpub. This is genius, these girls are gonna sell so many boxes. Everyone is buying, including me.
durable execution is an abstraction, not the end goal.
This is insane level of TypeScript. Really a fun watch and some awesome how-we-did it context from Dimitri. I love this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mCs...
TypeScript types can run DOOM

We are using inngest and it just works. I had 80k+ items to enqueue and it was no problem at all :)
⬇️ new tutorial to check out for some Friday afternoon and weekend projects
🔥 new Inngest video tutorial for this weekend: - How semantic search works under the hood ⚙️ - Automatically generate embeddings for your @neondatabase.bsky.social tables ⚡️ - Write your first vector SQL query 🔍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=priD...
Built my first end to app with Cursor this weekend using a next starter as the base. I get the hype now. Composer is legit. It naturally struggled with time zone issues and plenty of duplicate code, but would have replaced a lot of work done by the first agency I worked for.
Durable functions/workflows/execution are interesting, but also pretty simple. Sometimes I wish I had a few weeks to record videos and tutorials on how it works and how to do it yourself.
Trying to build the simplest quick start is fun and tedious. Where can the code and instructions be simplified, where can steps be removed, what can be more intuitive. Great for thinking about DX.
Start your year off with something new✨ Combine @inngest.com's workflow engine with Weaviate's vector search capabilities and create powerful agentic applications that practically run themselves! A big step up for anyone working with large-scale RAG systems. Check out the blog! lnkd.in/gSW-xHVf
Any home networking folks - thinking about running some cat6. Where do you terminate all the runs? The basement if you have one? Near the electrical panel? Also, if you have a few devices in one area, do you have 1 run then use a switch in that room?
testing out the new agentkit library from @inngest.com deployed to @cloudflare.social and it's working very well! I think that each agent could have access to or effectively be a durable object with inngest handling the orchestration and "state machine" of the processes github.com/joelhooks/in...

You feel like coding this weekend? Here’s a coding challenge 🏆 Christmas is approaching! Build a Christmas dinner AI generator from scratch using @nextjs.org, @inngest.com, and @neondatabase.bsky.social 🌲 The most creative projects will be featured in the Inngest documentation!
More often than not, running a cron every minute is a code smell
Fun to get out a @maildev.github.io release tonight for the first time in a long time. Lots of good security fixes in this one. Hoping to find more time to close out some issues and get releases out at a faster cadence.
New release out: v2.2.1. Summary of changes: - Key security fixes - Listen on IPv4 and IPv6 by default - Set container timezone - Dependency upgrades - Bug fixes github.com/maildev/mail...
Bsky username setup! New release out with lots of bug fixes out tomorrow 🚢
I’m rebuilding an old open source project’s UI soon. It’s currently an old client-side app and there isn’t a need for SSR. What should I go with: React Router 7 or Tan Stack Router?
Y’all need to catch this @joelhooks.com talk from #CommitYourCode conference on YouTube later. It had such great wisdom about event based architectures, and features a jaw dropping demo of inngest and their insane Dev Server. Amazing DX. How did I not know about this already????
