i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

let's start by saying that better-auth is awesome
but there should be a competitor to better-auth that would use codegen instead of trying to shoe-horn every possible stack into a super generic mess that leads to config hell (especially with plugins)

“The concept is beautifully simple: instead of your app being a fancy form that sends data to a server, it has its own local database. Sometimes the server is just another client to sync with. It can be a fundamental inversion of how we build web applications.”

Decent intro here. It's how apps like Linear are built. You work on the data locally and it's synced to other nodes (central server or peers in the multiplayer use case) in the background

I wonder what will happen to ts-morph ?
it could mean a 10x speed improvement for Panda CSS parsing step (without any change on our side!) or it could mean it just stops working 🫠

your @typescriptlang.org just got 10 times faster. We sat down with Anders Hejlsberg to ask questions library authors, power users, tooling makers, and compiler contributors might have.
