I don’t know exactly what’s next, but I’m excited for the future. I’ll be taking some precious time to focus on family, ride my bike, and recharge.
I’m leaving with a full heart, a huge sense of achievement, and a ton of optimism for whatever comes next.
It’s every DevRel’s dream to work with a world-class technical team, meet their heroes, and be part of an amazing community. I got to do all three every single day for nearly three years.
With the Databricks acquisition, Neon begins a new chapter … and so do I.
Today is my last day at Neon.
I feel incredibly grateful and proud of the time I’ve spent helping grow the platform from a few hundred to nearly a million users.
Who’s in Amsterdam for JSWorld this week?
About last night 🗽
Huge thanks to our speakers @ahmadawais.com Jacob @nutlope.bsky.social Mahmoud @nitya.dev , @aiDotEngineer @swyx.io and Microsoft for their support for making the NYC AI Agent Dev Tools meetup a success
In this presentation, I spoke about the scaling laws, autonomous agents, hyper-Moore’s law, the importance of energy and my views on how a country like Algeria can contribute to the AI revolution.
It was an honor to give a speech at the Algeria CTO Forum and to have a conversation with the Ministers of Telecom and Startups about the future of technology in the country.
I like this ❤️
🤣
I can’t get enough of this view and am so lucky call this region home.
I’m on my way to my home country Algeria 🇩🇿 to speak at the CTO Forum about “how to stay relevant in a world redefined by AI”, then off to NYC🗽for the AI Engineer Summit.
Let me know if you want to meet 👋
Not a joke!
My son's school offers a Ninjutsu camp 🥷
Thank you Amsterdam 🇳🇱
I had a lot of fun at the Vercel meetup at Miro’s offices meeting the community and hanging out with incredible people such as @kapehe.bsky.social @chrissev.bsky.social @ives.sh Catalin Matheus Fernandes and many others.
See you all in the next one.
Great deep dive into dsql internals at re:Cap with @sebsto.bsky.social

So, if you're an engineer who wants to join a strong engineering team and build cool stuff, Neon is hiring.
And, If you're a developer building cool stuff on Postgres, Neon has your back.
In the past two and a half years with the team, I have never doubted their ability to listen, design, build, and ship the right thing for the community and our customers.
We have several OSS maintainers on the team and a talented group of people working on our storage engine, autoscaling, control plane, and other parts of Neon.
One thing I don't mention enough about Neon is how talented our engineering team is.
The company was built by Postgres hackers with open source in mind and continues to contribute upstream to Postgres, its ecosystem of extensions and poolers.

Three years doing Open Source at @stackblitz.com today! I'm grateful to work with and learn from awesome folks in the ecosystem. In my retrospective from last year, vite's npm weekly downloads were at the 10M mark. It will soon double that. And it once more feels like we're just getting started 💜
A perfect Sunday Randonee Skiing ❄️
Out in nature is a true therapy. Away from worries and screens, it’s the perfect place to be in the moment, reflect and appreciate.
I read Kai-Fu Lee’s book AI Superpowers a few years before the ChatGPT moment.
He called Alpha Go beating Lee Sedol “China’s Sputnik moment” and explains both why China took AI very seriously since then and the resilience of its entrepreneurs.
Beautiful read.
Haha this is awesome.
Can’t express how humbling it is to hang out with these folks.
Open source is in good hands.
Pow pow ❄️
everything is better with open source friends
You guys take a photo without me. Not cool
