A factor 10 dilution is huge and I'd like to see the math on that. There are different roles founders hire for under the "founding engineer" umbrella. There is your fresh out of bootcamp "founding engineer" brought

I'm seeing a few "founding engineer" roles that pay pretty well and offer up to 1% equity for highly experienced candidates. Honestly some pretty unique opportunities. But yeah, I'm not building out and MVP without pay f

I'm also with you! Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps as a data point. Gates, Jobs, and Zuck all famously dropped out of college of course. It's an interesting and tricky social dynamic matching within and between

The LinkedIn page for a lot of these companies showing you "Where they studied" can be a bit intimidating. Chockablock with Stanford and Ivy League. I was filling out the Co-Founder matching service application and it has a requi

Sad. J/K. It could be a really good back-end option for Supabase's S3 front end. A lot of PG clients don't support proper "streaming" and looking at the codebase it's TypeScript.. postgres.js is the only client

Yeah, it's a great place to start. I took the time to implement streaming reads/write via npgsql's client support for it (it can stream records, and of course the Lob storage is broken into page sized rows) and performance is

A hero appears! The client I use currently, npgsql, supports proper streaming so I've created a FS->BLOB->PG storage abstraction. Streamy, dreamy goodness. McStreamy.

I like to Lob my BLOBs into PG's storage. You need that 1-2TB of RDS storage for the IOPS anyway; might as well fill it up. Large object crew, who's with me?!

My prediction is that Valkey will be the dominant "fork" moving forward. I don't believe the Redict team's prioritization on their niche values is going to resonate well with businesses that are going to end up both usin

It turns out they didn't actually need LUA for IDistributedCache so it's being removed.

Cheers! I skimmed right over that.

This is awesome! Was the talk recording by chance?

Yeah, and there's about 2_500 WTA players competing for money and about 40 million female tennis players globally. There are about 248 active female UFC fighters? The talent pool in other sports is much, much, much deeper.

Ah, yeah that's fair for SI. I guess manipulating quotes to be misleading is par for the 2024 course.

Well the discipline is referred to as "mixed martial arts" AKA MMA. And the relevant definition of "martial" is "of, relating to, or suited for war or a warrior". I'm not sure your distinction has any mate

Totally not the point of the article but the claim that she was "the world's most dominate athlete" piqued my interest as I've never really heard of her. Apparently SI published this in 2015(the link in the article to SI

Too me it sounds like what's being described is just a 3d desktop . But, in the walled garden world we live in most people just call the os/desktop combo the "OS" when it comes to android/ios.

This is a bit late but yes, I believe you can "fuck over" people with a number of motivations that aren't necessarily "malicious". For example I may be in a life boat with 5 other people and instead of adhering to r

Something about this narrative doesn't make sense though. Why would Airtable go through all this trouble just to get a product owner for something unrelated? Did Airtable even pay anything for Airplane.dev or was this just a face-sav

The prospect of screwing over their customers and becoming an also-employee at Airtable is much better? Something isn't quite adding up.

Such a founder perspective. Here is another; they fucked over their customers. Didn't even open source it on the way out?! Nobody with a memory for this is going use their products without second thought in the future. But peoples memo

Postgres doesn't need to scan them all because it has indexes. It also has a number of random sampling strategies available. It is niche, but it's a viable option for a lot of use cases if you need to limit the number of service d
