I don't understand -- useful how exactly? For most of my recent projects I use Prisma with Postgres; Prisma tables by default are named like TableName, and yes - for actual Postgres SQL that means you need to wrap everything in double

It’s a good idea, but this kind of thing is my problem with linters: “B006: Tables with uppercase names/columns” They usually end up expanding in scope into places they shouldn’t be. Consider also react linters, full of rules that shou

Yeah matches my experience. It’s just so much complexity just to get SSR. I’ve worked at places that used it for b2b SaaS apps with no public web part, so the SSR is just a big liability… whyyyyy

Absolutely! I've noticed that almost immediately after people discovered GPT could write code, this happened -- startups I worked with started rapidly expanding the scope of what they wanted to make. Suddenly all MVP's had to be m

Tasks being memory bound is not the same thing as GPU's being idle for economic reasons though.

Think some of that (the dialog and friends) is the wrong way around: we wouldn’t have gotten all those nice DOM native components if libraries and frameworks hadn’t popularised them and driven adoption into the standards. I am not sure I ag

Some great insights with some less interesting in there. I didn’t know about the SPVs, that’s sketchy and now I wanna know how much of that is going on. The MIT study that gets pulled out for every critical discussion of AI was an eye roll

There are some nuances there. - Most big tech companies are investing in data centers using operating cash flow, not levering it - The hyperscalers have in recent years been tweaking the depreciation schedules of regular cloud compute asset
