Igor Minar posted this"Health and family first!" That's what I always say when a coworker, a teammate, or their manager tells me that something is going on with them or their family and it's affecting their work commitments. It's now time to take my own advice. While I have many exciting things going on in my professional life — in short, I had decided to leave Cloudflare early this year and start my own business — as I was going through the transition, my dad's health deteriorated suddenly. I had to jump on a same-day flight from California to Slovakia to be with him and comfort him during what looks like his last days with us. I apologize to many of my Cloudflare colleagues and friends that I left without saying a proper good-bye. Rest assured that I'll do my best to catch up with you once my family situation settles down. In the meantime, please connect with me here on LinkedIn so we can stay in touch — I no longer have access to internal chat or email. To those of you who have checked in on me already while I've been busy and mostly offline — thank you! I appreciate you. I'll be back, but for now — family first. ❤️

Igor Minar reposted thisAt DevFest Kosova, I met amazing speakers 🎤 They were all very humble, and their talks were truly worth listening to. I also had the pleasure to spend time with Natalia and Igor 😊 Natalia Venditto is Principal Product Manager at Microsoft and Igor Minar is Senior Director of Engineering at Cloudflare and co-creator of Angular and at DevFest Kosova they gave a keynote on Web-Fragments: a radically new architecture for micro-frontends,that works. Their talk introduced Web Fragments, an open-source micro-frontends architecture. It helps large, monolithic applications slowly adopt new features and AI capabilities, with fully isolated JavaScript and styles, making the transition safer and more performant. Natalia and Igor’s work is impressive 💖 Their talk was inspiring, practical, and full of ideas that will make a real difference for developers. Everyone left motivated and excited about what’s possible in web development. #WebFragments #MicroFrontends #WebDevelopment

Igor Minar shared thisOver the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege to visit very many countries across three continents (yes, I know, I still have a few continents to go, I’m a perpetual work in progress 🙃). So far the most mind blowing and positively surprising has been my recent visit to Kosovo. It’s been hands down a place with the most enthusiastic, self-driven, funny, and smart developer, hungry to learn, and best of all hungry to contribute to the world and help their own country grow and thrive. I feel ashamed that prior to my visit, I knew little about the country, except for the war that happend 26 years ago. Little did I know that Kosovo is quietly turning into a tech hub already serving many countries around the world, including Switzerland, Germany, and the USA. I predict that Kosovo is the next Portugal, Spain, Poland, Czechia or Slovakia. Tech investments have been flowing into the country for many years and Google, Deloitte, Microsoft are already establishing their influence in the country. Rochester Institute of Technology runs a campus with 750 students (soon to expand to 1200!) in the capital city of Prishtina which I visited. This is where I presented on Web Fragments to an audience curious about the tech and eager to ask questions for a few hours in the hallways after the presentation. With Euro as the currency, very close business ties to USA and the rest of the western world, lot of tech and processes compatible with the rest of Europe, zero language barrier, and highly motivated and large young population, I expect Kosovo to become a major player in the tech world within the next 5-10 years. Tech leaders sleeping on Kosovo will have regrets. Dane Knecht & Stephanie Cohen 👀Igor Minar shared thisthanks to the organizers of devfest Kosovo 2025 day-2 was fun and exciting and thanks to all the speakers without all of this devfest wouldn't have been possible and thanks Federico Iezzi, Igor Minar, Natalia Venditto, Miraç Vuslat Başaran, Waqas S J., Getoar Krasniqi for making it more special and discussing specific topics with me thanks again. Nil shehu best of luck.

Igor Minar shared thisThanks for highlighting, Luca Mezzalira. The frontend space continues to foster new ideas and innovation, and IA is only going to supercharge Web as the deployment medium for experiences. Exciting times!Igor Minar shared thisMicro-frontends have come a long way. What started as an experiment to bring autonomy to frontend teams has evolved into a discipline: one that shapes how we think about scalability, ownership, and platform thinking across the stack. This week’s resources explore that evolution from different angles. In my conversation with Sam Newman, we talked about how both #microservices and #microfrontends face the same challenge: delivering value, not complexity. Architecture alone doesn’t make teams faster — but the right platform and boundaries do. At the same time, pioneers like Natalia Venditto and Igor Minar are reimagining what’s next with WebFragments — a new approach that challenges how we compose and deploy web applications. Their work shows how fast this space keeps evolving, pushing us to rethink the foundation our platforms are built on. That idea extends also into my latest talk, The Ideal Micro-Frontends Platform, where I break down the four key architectural decisions (Identify, Compose, Route, Communicate) and explain why a strong platform team and developer experience are essential for scaling successfully. All these perspectives converge in the 2nd edition of Building Micro-Frontends published by O'Reilly. It captures how far we’ve come as a community, from early experiments to proven patterns that help organizations balance speed, efficiency, and autonomy. The book is available now on #Amazon and O’Reilly.

Igor Minar liked this5 Things I Never Thought I’d Do as an Introvert - But I Do Now For a long time, social anxiety was the one making my decisions. I was the person who would skip an event if I didn’t have someone to go with It took time, and a lot of stepping out of my comfort zone but looking back at my journey, here are 5 things I never thought I’d do: ➡️ Walking into events alone: I walk into a room with confidence, knowing that every stranger is just a connection waiting to happen ➡️ Asking the "stupid" questions: I’ve realized that the only way to build great things is to ask. If I don't understand something, I ask it - loudly and clearly ➡️ Public speaking & presenting: It’s no longer something I run from. I’ve learned how to speak up and present my ideas in front of people. ➡️ Leading communities & Project Managing: I’ve since realized that being an introvert allows me to lead with empathy and manage complex projects with a focused, calm perspective. ➡️ Making new friends: I’ve found the joy in reaching out first and building a network of incredible, like-minded people. 🚀 2026 is going to be super awesome. I'm heading into the year feeling stronger than ever and ready for what's next. 💙 To my fellow introverts: Your "quietness" is not a barrier to your success. It’s just a different way of showing up. 👇Share in the comments What’s one thing you never thought you’d be able to do but you’re doing now?

Igor Minar liked thisIgor Minar liked thisOn Dec. 31st 2021 I announced I was joining Microsoft. Four years later, today, it’s my last day. A new adventure is about to begin….! I want to express sincere gratitude for the opportunity to serve JavaScript developers at that incredible scale. Building tools and experiences that impact millions of professionals, students and even hobbyists lives. I want to acknowledge all I learned about product design, about data driven decisions, about strategy, experimentation, analysis and documentation of decisions. I want to thank my leadership, my team (Dev Tools), those that became friends for life: brilliant professionals and sharpest minds. Too many names to name and too many services I influenced. I was so lucky to be working at the forefront of AI innovation as this new intelligent apps era started. But if I have to mention the achievement that makes me proud the most it was specifying and prototyping the developer experience for Edge Actions as my DevDiv side contribution, collaborating with folks in Azure Front Door and Azure Core. Our v-team joined forces and worked tirelessly to bring serverless compute to Azure customers, and now it’s live. But there are other memorable contributions: leading the deprecation of old Node.js versions in the platform, consulting for the Mariner team as well as the Aspire team for JavaScript experiences, and so much more! I can say I leave a strong footprint in the Azure ecosystem that will power the experiences of today and tomorrow. Now it’s time to move to a new role (and adventure!). I feel very privileged (especially given the circumstances many of our peers face today) to announce that as of tomorrow I’m joining Adobe as a full time principal engineer, reporting to Gilles Knobloch and working for VP of AEM engineering, Michael Marth and Conrad Woeltge . I’m joining a team of forward deployed, customer requirement driven engineers, that are building the CMS, AI tools and web technologies that power the leading global brands platforms, shaped by customer needs and input. Going to Adobe feels like going back to my roots, in a way. All my enterprise-grade frontend engineer, technical lead and software architect roles were as a lead developer in the Adobe Experience Manager stack. As was my first involvement/contribution to an open-source JavaScript framework, now Edge Delivery Services. Speaking of OSS, I am grateful for Adobe clearing my way to continue to contribute to Web Fragments and the web platform, that I care deeply about and demonstrating their commitment to open-source. I’m so pumped for the future! Happy 2026, everyone! May this year bring you all you hope for, but most especially health, time with those you love and love you, happiness and work!

Igor Minar liked thisIgor Minar liked thisIn March 2026, I will be Mockito maintainer for 10 years (nearly a third of my whole life). Looking ahead, I decided that a decade milestone is a good moment to pass on maintainership to other folks. Mockito has been an integral part of my software engineering career up to this point and it feels bittersweet to say goodbye. While I never got paid for my volunteering work (I also never wanted to, since then it would start to feel like actual work), it gave me loads of attention and recognition across the industry. Mockito undoubtedly has helped me shape as an engineer and gained valuable experience along the way. Today I posted my message to the Mockito community (https://lnkd.in/eaAAhNam) announcing this change. It feels uneasy to let a project such as Mockito go, unknowing how the project evolves. But I am hopeful that some other souls in this world will pick up and continue dedicating their volunteering time to an open source project such as Mockito. If anything, it would benefit today's world if more folks would do volunteering work and help society forward. In recent months, I have rediscovered the joy of programming by working on Servo. It's a web engine written in Rust. For the foreseeable future, I will spend my volunteering software engineering time on Servo and will see what's next after that.Stepping down as maintainer after 10 years · Issue #3777 · mockito/mockitoStepping down as maintainer after 10 years · Issue #3777 · mockito/mockito

What I'm Reading This Week 📚 🤖 Vibe Code Reality Check Steve Krouse's piece argues that "vibe coding" where you "forget that the code even exists" creates legacy code nobody understands. Programming is fundamentally theory building, not just producing lines of code. This resonates - I recently spent hours trying to fix a frontend bug with Claude Code and Gemini CLI stuck in a dead loop of guesses. Two minutes of human inspection found the inefficient hook render. We still very much need the human (expert) in the loop. https://lnkd.in/g_Dt-_kz 📐 Mathematics as Code Dan Abramov's exploration of Lean shows how mathematicians can treat mathematics as code - breaking it into structures, theorems, and proofs that are statically checked and composable. His playful example of "haunted math" where 2=3 demonstrates how axioms shape mathematical reality. Always fascinating to see bleeding-edge programming language theory, especially when it bridges math and code in such elegant ways. https://lnkd.in/gebHeMSU 💻 Local LLMs Innovation Simon Willison highlights how his 2.5-year-old laptop can now write Space Invaders using GLM-4.5 Air and MLX. Open source models are rapidly pushing the frontier of what's possible on a chip. The future where we get GPT-4 level intelligence running on phones feels closer than ever and a powerful enabler for humanity. 🚀 JavaScript's Wild Decade Jamie Birch's comprehensive dive through JavaScript runtimes reveals a staggering ecosystem - from Node.js to Cloudflare Workers to React Native's Hermes. I remember when Apple had a strict no-JS-runtime policy for the App Store. We've come so far that every platform now has multiple JS engines optimized for specific use cases. The proliferation shows JavaScript's incredible adaptability across contexts. https://lnkd.in/g843sYBk 📊 Amazon's Dev Experience ROI Amazon's "Cost to Serve Software" framework quantified a 15.9% reduction in delivery costs through developer experience improvements. The key insight: giving developers back time and reducing toilesome work. For a company with 1,000 developers, a 15% improvement translates to $20M in cost avoidance. Good concrete ROI numbers on investing in developer productivity. https://lnkd.in/ghv5CTfa Which trend do you think will have the biggest impact on software development: local AI democratizing access, the continued JavaScript runtime explosion, or finally having concrete metrics for developer experience ROI? #AI #JavaScript #DeveloperExperience #Programming #LocalLLMs #VibeCoding #SoftwareDevelopment

💡 AI doesn’t just change how code is written – it changes expectations and outcomes. In the final section of Jellyfish’s AI Adoption Guide, we explore how expectations for engineering leaders are evolving as AI becomes embedded across the SDLC. Because the organizations pulling ahead are treating AI as a transformation, not a tooling upgrade. Inside, you’ll explore: - Why AI adoption is quickly becoming a leadership mandate, not an option - How to balance ambitious goals with realistic expectations - What cultural investments are required to sustain long-term gains - How data can be used to align executives and engineering teams The teams that win in the AI era won’t just have better tools – they’ll have leaders who know how to guide change.

Two of AWS’ Sr. Principal Engineers, Nicholas Matsakis and Marc Bowes, take us inside the development of Aurora DSQL in a fascinating new blog. The post shows how the team scaled write operations without two-phase commit, overcame garbage collection hurdles, and ultimately embraced Rust for both data and control planes. What I find particularly interesting is how the team's journey with Rust evolved. They started cautiously, using it for a single component, and ended up rewriting almost everything in Rust. It's a reminder that sometimes the hard choices - like adopting a new language - can unlock tremendous value. The full post is well worth your time. It's not just about database internals, but also about team dynamics, a culture of learning (and questioning established approaches), and making difficult architectural decisions.

While everyone was talking about Opus 4.6, for me the true killer feature of the recent Claude Code updates is the agent teams. It's been something i've been trying to achieve with customization for a while. Custom agents, orchestration scripts, specific CLAUDE.md instructions to coordinate work... with some degree of success. But what Anthropic shipped natively is a WHOLE different level. What makes this stand out is the inter-agent communication. We're not talking about simple fan-out/fan-in where you spawn workers and collect results. These agents talk to each other. Peer-to-peer messaging, dependency-aware task graphs that auto-unblock, agents that self-claim work from a shared task list. The lead can even enter Delegate Mode where it does ZERO implementation, only coordination. The image below is from one of my setups. A team manager orchestrating a librarian agent, a PhD lead, and 5 research sub-tasks with blocking dependencies. The librarian unblocks the research tasks, the PhD lead aggregates everything. All coordinated autonomously. And with this a whole new world of orchestration just unveiled itself. Distributing work across agents is the "easy" part. You break down tasks, assign owners, define dependencies. The HARD part, and what MOST stands out now, is aggregation. How do you take the output of 5 parallel agents, each with their own context window, and synthesize it into something coherent? That's the new skill. Anthropic themselves used 16 parallel agents to build a 100,000 line Rust C compiler that compiles the Linux 6.9 kernel. No human actively coding. ~$20,000 in API costs over ~2,000 sessions. We went from pair-programming with AI to managing AI engineering teams. The skills that transfer are the ones from engineering management: task decomposition, context management, knowing when to intervene vs let the team self-organize. This is a new paradigm, and i think it opens up several possibilities we haven't fully explored yet. ref.: https://lnkd.in/dVCe344z

HashiCorp has released Agent Skills for Terraform and Packer. These skills provide agents with durable context that can be reliably applied across real tasks, rather than just for one-off generations. At Tessl, we collaborated with the HashiCorp team and utilized our platform to run task evaluations and review evaluations, comparing agent behavior with and without Skills. For those building with agents and infrastructure, this development is worth exploring. Check it out: https://tessl.co/acv

In a new blog post, Marc Bowes looks at how updates work in Aurora DSQL, and what it means for scalable schema design. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gmGEK8Dv A couple take-aways for application builders: - You mostly don't have to worry about hot read keys in DSQL, even in read-write transactions. DSQL can scale out per-key read throughput, and the design requires no co-ordination between transactions reading the same key. (Thank you, MVCC and Time Sync!) - Scalable applications do need to avoid high-contention write keys when doing updates. Writes need to be coordinated and ordered (to implement the I in ACID), which limits per-key throughput. - Most applications can avoid hot write keys with the right schema design. Most applications have already been written this way, because high-contention keys perform poorly on relational databases of all kinds.

Netlify • 1K followers
At Netlify, we've quietly released something that I’m really proud of. With a single npm package, you can now run the full Netlify platform right in your local environment, with a minimalist API built on web standards. https://lnkd.in/d8YP82aq Here’s why I'm excited about it. Being able to emulate the full production environment when developing locally has always been a key component of the Netlify experience. You (and your agents) should be able to leverage all of our primitives as the application is built, with the shortest possible feedback loop. Historically, this capability lived in the Netlify CLI through commands like `netlify dev`. And while the CLI is still an incredibly important entry point into our platform that we'll continue to develop, a lot has changed in the ecosystem since we first launched it a decade ago. Tools like Vite have unlocked a rich ecosystem of web frameworks with powerful local development flows, with great developer experience. If you’re building a site on Astro, the most natural entry point into local development is `astro dev`. Same goes for TanStack, Nuxt, etc. So rather than asking developers to abandon the flow their framework encourages, we need to weave ourselves into that experience. We wanted to bring Functions, Edge Functions, Blobs, Cache API, Image CDN, redirects, environment variables and more right into that flow. In order to do this, we first had to rebuild the local development flow for each one of these primitives, decoupling them from the CLI codebase and structuring them as self-contained packages that conform to the Fetch API. Here's the result: https://lnkd.in/dZ43H3TB (This took some effort.) We could then build the `@netlify/dev` module, which takes all the individual primitive packages and composes them into a representation of the Netlify request chain (https://lnkd.in/dxuVqGwj).
