Can you expound a bit more? It seems like Pay encapsulates itself pretty well. I'm not sure I really grok how namespaces could improve or fix whatever is broken here.

What's the difference between FooBar::Record and ns1::Record? Nothing, except the latter pushes encapsulation onto the user. This is not the Ruby ethos.

Shopify, GitHub, Intercom, among others are built on Ruby/Rails. I think it'll scale fine.

I feel like this is a solution to a problem nobody really has in practice, by simply following conventions, and I've been using Ruby for over 10 years. If byroot -- who works at Shopify on the largest Rails codebase in existence -- ech

I'm becoming very intrigued with pgdog. I need this as a service. I don't really want to self-host something so critical tbh, for the same reasons I don't self-host pg.

Knew this was coming after they acquired Lemon Squeezy. Lots of MoRs shaking in their boots right now, probably.

You misunderstand my point. Startups adopt the AGPL, not for user freedom, but because of the FUD that makes the AGPL just like SSPL in practice. I wrote more about the issue here: https://keygen.sh/blog/whither-open-so

In word, but not in deed. I'll say it over and over again: COSS startups don't adopt the AGPL because they want to prioritize user freedom, they adopt it as a means of defense.

Also PaaS like Heroku adopted Valkey as a drop-in replacement for Redis.

by ezekg 1y ago
Of course it's the AGPL, which is essentially the SSPL in practice.

I'm going to be candid here: this doesn't really answer my question and just seems like you telling me to try your product. If you're going to sell a tool for marketing on reddit, you should know or learn how to market on red

I've found reddit harder and harder to actually meaningfully post your blog anywhere, unless your post is a technical/programming blog post (in which case /r/programming and /r/$lang work ok), especially if you

I always called this the "chlorine filter" because it reminded me of what your vision looks like after swimming in chlorinated water after a while.

Yeah, I posted because it's kind of blowing my mind. I was literally wondering this morning why this hasn't been tried -- essentially a pg load balancer, then stumbled across this.

The one I was a part of wasn't VC-backed, but yes, I've quit due to bad cofounder fit. No equity, no payout, just straight up left for my own sanity. It was my idea, too, and I was the only technical cofounder. It's a nightma

This reads like AI slop, especially the call to action at the end seemingly asking for further refinement of the messaging for a particular audience, and the duplication screams copy/paste. But, to answer the question: no, SaaS is not

It's really satisfying to create logomarks solely out of circles, idk why. A challenge, I guess. I did a few back in my day as a designer: 1. https://dribbble.com/shots/1909369-Liberty-Eagle-Arms 2. https:/&

Server-authoritative conflict resolution kind of mirrors my thinking as well, having resolution work like multiplayer net code, where the client and server may or may not attempt to resolve recent conflicts, but server has the final say o

by ezekg 2y ago
It'd be nice if the post went into how conflict resolution will (?) work because that's the hard part here and the main selling point imo.

I totally agree. This post feels like gatekeeping to me, which is why I originally posted it -- I wanted to see if I was alone in those feelings or if it really is gatekeeping.
