Back in 2019 I almost moved to Europe, but the world had other plans. This year I thought, what’s stopping me now? ✨ if you are in italy, please reply to this email as I need all the help I can get.

Now, let's hear it from our Sponsor.

PRESENTED BY CODERABBIT AI

AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor CLI, and Gemini make it fast to generate code but how do you make sure it’s actually production-ready?

CodeRabbit CLI gives you free, senior-engineer level reviews right in your terminal. Catch bugs, hallucinations, and security issues before you commit.

• ⚡ Code review at terminal velocity
• 🛑 Stop AI slop before it ships
• 🔄 Works with all coding agents

CodeRabbit has reviewed 10M+ PRs and is the most-installed AI app on GitHub Marketplace.

Now it’s completely FREE 🎁 in your CLI.

All you need is One simple command 👇

Why make your users fetch the same data again and again? That’s where the "use cache" directive comes in.

It lets you mark routes, components, or even functions as cacheable so repeat work is skipped and your app instantly feels snappier ⚡.

Simply drop a "use cache" line underneath the definition and boom, cached 🧙‍♀️!

✨ How it works:

• On the server → cache entries are stored in memory.
• On the client → cached responses live in the browser for the session (or until revalidated).

✅ Action item for you:

Spot one expensive function or a slow component in your app and wrap it with use cache. Your future self (and your users) will thank you.

You can also read the full deep dive here.
