I honestly don't know. That's why I'm surprised the UK actually has provisions for clawing back funds. Maybe they put adequate pressure on the Dubai-based banks to reverse the transfer?

Sorry, but these tools are far from usable for the average run-of-the-mill guy. They are specifically tailored for developers and people who can code. The people who were scammed were literally average folks, a working mum, a tarot-card rea

Granted, Supabase does provide a lot under the hood, and it's excellent for whipping out a quick MVP, but I wouldn't count it production ready even today, simply because of the downtime I've experienced at times (even if thei

Serious business is when you need to maintain uptime and stability. Not just me, but a lot of folks on the Supabase reddit have complained often about the insane downtimes that we've experienced at times with the platform. I would 100%

Supabase is basically AWS Postgres under the hood. It's popular amongst hobbyists and small teams but I'm not sure whether any large teams actively use it. Once you're past the point of serious business, it's much more c

I mean, you're already poorer, given that immigration has depressed wages significantly. Post-Brexit, EU immigration was only replaced by non-EU immigration which has a higher tolerance for lower wages and poorer living conditions. Som

Yeah, but Karpathy mentioned using Vercel, Supabase and NextJS, all of which are included with Kirimase. Django would definitely be more up his alley though, given he doesn't need to learn a new language outright.
