Namely adult content. They began heavily moderating this kind of stuff, leading to a mass exodus, in particular to twitter which was amenable to it.

Thanks for the extensive comment. I had similar experiences with CASL. I implemented the placeholders you described with support for arbitrary context. It also supported joins. It used a mongodb-like syntax that could be used with SQL, mong

Learn typescript. You can do backend and frontend (and even IaC) in typescript. First-class VS code support and sprawling toolchain support.

This is how I did it at my previous job. A clever setup allows you to have frontend/backend end-to-end type safety. We even made our lambda environment variables typed, through to the CDK code that populated them.

Reminder to use something like the date-fns library for immutable operations on dates. The native JS date library can be painful to work on when doing operations like adding or subtracting time.

We recently got duped buying an AI generated book about native plants on amazon. The cover page was low-res and the information contained within was wrong. All of the citations given in the back of the book were non-existant. When we tried

The context windows aren’t large enough, as I understand it. It might be possible via a chain-of-summarization, though.

The “loading” for 2-3 seconds with black text on a dark blue background… This ain’t it.

Having worked on a greenfield microservices project, the joins over the network problem is real (and may indicate bad domain splits).

Yep, that about sums up my experience with the app too. You could also remove any post automatically once it hit -5 points, so me and some friends got together and downvoted every new yak off the platform. People were big mad.

We started with a microservices architecture in a greenfield project. In retrospect we really should have started with a monolith. Every 2-3 days we have to deal with breaking changes to API schemas. Since we’re still pre-production it does
