I switched from Cursor to Neovim and at first I hated Neovim’s poor AI ghost text. Now I kind of like the break from heavy AI when I write code. The vast vast majority of my code is written by Claude Code, so I don’t write much. But when I

We'll release an Upstash Workflows adapter soon! StepKit is ultimately just an in-code API that lets you define workflows in a backend agnostic way. We want you to define workflows that can run in Upstash, Inngest, Cloudflare... really

Vercel Workflow Kit takes a very different approach. Lack of step IDs (which makes them worse at handling code changes), compilation step, more opinionated about backends ("worlds", as they call them). Vercel Workflow Kit has magi

Inngest engineer here! For a little extra context, the `@stepkit/core` package is basically just an API for defining a workflow. There isn't much to it because we don't want to be overly opinionated on backend implementations

I use Cursor and I get a lot of benefit from its autocomplete suggestions, but its composer is horrible so I never use it. The dream of telling AI to make changes on its own hasn’t arrived

IIRC, the lifecycle hook only prevents destruction of the resource if it needs to be replaced (e.g. change an immutable field). If you outright delete the resource declaration in code then it’s destroyed. I may be misremembering though

Right, you can change punctuation to clarify it. However, it doesn't change the fact that the Oxford comma could make the list readable as a parenthetical phrase. I'm not saying the Oxford comma is bad. I'm just saying that i
