I have two projects with a total of almost 7k stars. [0] It’s worth noting that GitHub stars truly don’t translate into anything worthwhile in the vast majority of cases. You can have a massively popular project, but it doesn’t automaticall

Predicate order in SQL is pretty dodgy all around and makes it hard to build intuition around SQL queries. In select, the actual SELECT clause (field selection) can usually be conceptualized as “happening” after all other clauses, but of co

Author here. Most build tools for end-to-end typesafe APIs rely on code generation, notably OpenAPI and GraphQL. Codegen works, but it inevitably introduces lag and friction into the developer workflow. The fact that modern TypeScript makes

I'm no biologist, but mRNA is ephemeral by design - it's constantly being broken down in the body. The fact that mRNA is converted to proteins by ribosomes is one of the best understood processes in cellular biology, and synthesiz

Agreed this would be nice, though this layer of complexity introduces a bigger attack surface for bad actors. They could try to get their modules listed as dependencies of popular projects to piggyback on their downloads. On the flip side t

Author here - 100% agree on all fronts! I was dancing around this conclusion but it really does need to be GitHub. And I agree people would be fine paying their own fees if it came to that. Also, in that case, if someone is donating a non-t

Good point, that characterization isn't exactly accurate. Though the first-order point is that you have to go through a separate "checkout process" each time you want to sponsor a new thing. I actually think it's importa

Great stuff here. Do you think these are fundamental dealbreakers? Put another way, could an entity like GitHub build satisfactory solutions to these? Forcing donors to fund their wallets with ACH transfers seems like an easy way to sideste
