What am I fixing?

tip: today() the day the test was created is not the same today() as the day the test run 😅

This year I won't be at #Current25 in London (have fun all of you that are there!), but here's my small contribution to the Kafka ecosystem. I wrote a blog post about how to combine Kafka and Tinybird for an IoT use case.

A react context that syncs Clerk authentication tokens with Tinybird's API endpoints.

Manages token state and session changes automatically, exposing everything through a single useTinybirdToken hook so your components stay clean and decoupled.

One cool thing about having internal users is that you discover new usage patterns

`tb create --prompt` mentioning an existing endpoint and with the changes you want

If you’re feeling down, just ask Sonnet3.7 to change something it just produced.

My job these three years at @tinybirdco.bsky.social has been about helping teams use Tinybird and go to production.

The journey is:
- Start small, prototype and validate
- Optimize
- Connect to production ingest
- Enable the APIs for the end users
- Monitor that everything works according to plan

Had issues with Claude Desktop's MCP server - turns out it wasn't reading PATH when launched from the dock. Fixed it with some terminal aliases to properly open/close the app.

And yes, Claude itself helped diagnose and fix the issue 😄

Aquí Alex y servidor muy concentrados* en el stand de la #TRG24
