I haven't missed a single day of code all year.
Even while:
- Traveling Internationally
- In the hospital
- Burned out
- Holidays
Now I think it's time to take a proper day off for the long weekend
Please check out layerbase.com, it's what I have been working on

Imagine paying $200 up front and having no serverless database bills for the rest of the year 🤯
Unlimited usage, branching, no meters... Being able to branch when when your connection string starts with mongodb://
we are giving away 1/2 priced dedicated servers for the next year when paying annually - 13 DAYS LEFT
4 GB RAM | 2 vCPU | 25 GB volume
🛑$35/mo
✅$17.50/mo
8 GB RAM | 4 vCPU | 50 GB volume
🛑$65/mo
✅$32.50/mo
16 GB RAM - 2 vCPU - 100 GB volume
🛑$120/mo
✅$60/mo
deal ends 9/15/2026
if you want to have no more serverless database bills for the next year, with unlimited databases and unlimited branches, there are less than 2 weeks to lock it in for the price of 2 always-on months on Neon

We can migrate you over from Atlas/Algolia/Neon/Planetscale/Railway - you name it

btw, I wasn't going to share this until l @databricks charged a credit card we never gave them access to and then stopped responding to our billing support tickets 🤔
10x the compute for 10% the price and 18x the DB selection at layerbase.com/dedicated

You search Google or ChatGPT for the "best software"
and get back what looks like a recommendation.
But those recommendations are shaped by incentives you never see.
Here's how it actually works:

You can now run @qdrant_engine locally without Docker on any OS (macOS, Linux, Windows) and
architecture (x64, ARM):
pnpx spindb create mydb -e qdrant
or the interactive CLI:
pnpx spindb@latest
No containers. No compose files. No drama. Just vectors. 🧭

If you need any of these local databases
-postgres
-mysql
-sqlite
-mongodb
On any of those operating systems
-mac
-linux
-windows
And you don't want to touch Docker
Run `npx spindb`
MongoDB support just went live
Redis is in the pipeline, plus too many features to list here

Give me a ⭐ star ⭐ at github.com/robertjbass/spind… if you think this is neat
Think branching like neon but locally, or cloning prod databases locally for testing. 100% scriptable l

Okay you got me. `npx spindb` now supports @MongoDB - even the unpatched mongobleed versions

spindb is now available on all 3 OSs
`pnpx spindb`
github.com/robertjbass/spind…
The beginner-friendly, easiest way to create and manage local DBs. Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite all supported. No Docker needed
Share a GH star if it makes life easier

The stickers tell a story about how the technologies I use have changed from 2019 to 2026
2026 needs a few stickers removed

Why is there no healthcare.gov official X account? I'm trying to complain about a rounding error preventing payments
They don't have error handling so you just get the raw .NET error message from the Stripe NuGet package
NBD, not like there's a deadline to enroll...

I built a node process manager to find orphaned node processes:
npx nodepm-ui
But it was a nice interface so I added a flag so you can manage all of your system's processes
npx nodepm-ui --all
It also supports an optional OpenAI key to explain any running processes to you

Next time I need a screen protector I'll remember that my @dbrand prism installation experience was so good that I felt the need to tweet about it
