   Vercel and Meta can bankrupt you...

   AI-generated code is flooding open-source projects with low-quality contributions, forcing maintainers to restrict external PRs. A developer's hosting bill jumped from $30 to $2,000 when Meta's crawler hit their Vercel-hosted site 11 million times in 30 days. Serverless platforms abstract away infrastructure decisions but remove responsibility and cost awareness. As code generation becomes cheap, operational excellence and understanding first principles matter more than ever. The future belongs to developers who own their work and understand what happens beneath abstractions.

   Neon Is a Cursor Plugin

   Neon launched as a plugin for Cursor's new marketplace, enabling developers to provision, branch, and restore Postgres databases directly from their IDE. The plugin combines Neon's MCP Server for live access with structured workflows. Neon's serverless architecture offers instant database branching using copy-on-write storage, scale-to-zero compute, point-in-time restores without data copying, and a mature API designed for programmatic access. These features make database environments as disposable as git branches, ideal for testing migrations, reproducing bugs, and iterative development workflows.
