I've seen some of what Aaron's working on here, and it's so far ahead of anything I've managed to figure out for myself.

(I told him to price this 10x higher but he refused listen to me, so it's your lucky day.)

They say AI is the end for developers.
They say the job market is gone.
They say learning to code is pointless.

I don’t buy it.

I think we're just getting started.

Because people don't really understand what cloudflare offers with regard to R2 bandwidth. The article explains it fully! I don't check over here often but feel free to email me

Steve and I will also be offering services! If you want a review of your screencasts, we can give you a 15 minute teardown.

If you wanna hang for an hour and ask more specific questions, you can do that too!

We have our flagship "How to Screencast" course, which teaches you the fundamentals of screencasting.

It's the course I wish I had when I was starting out!

How Durable Objects and D1 Work: A Deep Dive with Cloudflare’s Josh Howard
How Durable Objects and D1 Work: A Deep Dive with Cloudflare’s Josh Howard YouTube video by Aaron Francis

I sat down with Josh Howard from Cloudflare and asked him my most pressing question... What *is* a Durable Object?

We spent the next hour talking Durable Objects, D1, Workers, and how the whole Cloudflare platform works.

You're gonna love this one.

20 years of hacking Postgres with Heikki Linnakangas (cofounder of Neon) YouTube video by Aaron Francis

Absolutely loved this talk between @aaronfrancis.com and Heikki Linnakangas.

I get drawn in by these kinds of deep dives.
Watching someone with 20+ years in Postgres talk about their craft and the work that goes into a piece of software like Postgres and Neon.

It's truly inspiring.

Building a model reservation system with atomic locks
Building a model reservation system with atomic locks YouTube video by Aaron Francis

I recorded a new video about building a model reservation system *on top* of Laravel's atomic locks.

It's kinda wild, and I got to use generated database columns so you know I was pumped about it.
