There are millions of developers learning how to use AI and they need pragmatic advice:
1. We need to teach new developers strong foundations, so they know what to learn, and how to solve issues when debugging.

If you're using AI models, how are you making sure it uses the right version of a given library?
llms.txt? MCP? Context7? RAG? Web search? Another acronym?
Seems like there's a million ways.

Just shipped improved deployment docs for Next.js.
Tbh, there was unnecessary promotion for Vercel. It now lists Vercel the same as any other provider.
Let me know what other changes you'd like to see.

One of the hardest parts about community management is that even after you ship, it sometimes takes *years* for people to update their knowledge of the product.

I've been (officially) doing "Developer Experience" work for 4.5 years.
But tbh, I've never really talked about the work itself.
Last week, I gave my first talk about writing great docs, getting product feedback, and teaching developers.

I don't think people realize how obvious it is when you reply to posts with AI slop. There are certain words (cc delve) that are immediate red flags. The vibe just feels off.

JUST CLOSE THE OFFICE BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS. HALF THE PEOPLE AREN'T WORKING AND THE REST OF US DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR SHIT. MY WHOLE MORNING HAS BEEN ANSWERING EMAILS SAYING "YEAH, I CAN'T DO THAT, YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE REAL PERSON IS BACK." FUCK ME

I think I've finally figured out the best way to teach next/image, and that's to build a small version from scratch (including the image optimizer) so you really appreciate the abstraction.
