It's not Adobe Dreamweaver with a chatbot plus a DAG-style job GUI, it's an agentic IDE ecosystem for $3B. But seriously, what am I missing here?

"But what about having another agent that quality controls your first agent?" You should watch the CDO-squared scene from the Big Short again.

Everyone wants to go the agent route until the agent messes up once after working 99 times in a row. "Why did it make a silly mistake?" We don't know. "Well, let's put a few more guard rails around it." Sounds

Glad to see you found some footing! I just saw the email about PgML today. You should mention the timeline of projects leading up to PgDog in your marketing. I was looking for references to pgcat (very briefly) but didn’t see any. Your back

Having written several pg txn poolers, I like the implementation. I also love your simple branding and I think this could make a fantastic product for enterprise customers. However, my biggest concern as a buyer is longevity. PgCat (another

Fantastic work, team!

Yeah there are some interesting similarities. However, the biggest difference is Google has the right to keep source proprietary, and companies like Unity are allowed to provide source code with a reference only license (still proprietary),

No, but having the names to the fields, directly from Google, is very helpful for further understanding what's available from within the sandbox.

Forming the union is step one of a long road before you actually reap the benefits. It can take year(s) to negotiate the CBA with your employer. Sounds like fear of layoffs was a huge factor, but the employer must agree to those terms, and

Great. Show me examples of teams who took that bet and how it paid off.

I think unions need to work on their marketing. I resonate with all of these problems, but the "fixes" sound like a politician saying, "elect me and I'll solve your problems." What's the A+ example out there of

Wow! I was looking at Fauna for a new project just yesterday. The tech looks good but a custom query language put me off pretty fast. Is this a real language or just an ORM syntax? Can I push code into the DB, or is it like the HCL of SQL?

iOS wearable integrations are bad, but somehow Meta Ray-Bans are very good. Voice assist to start a call, send a text, read a notification, etc. Did Meta get special access to do this?

It's smart defense, great offense, and a good product behind it. Each eat a big chunk of that $100B target. I don't see Wiz as a 10 year company, I see it as a forever requirement for companies to manage all of their cloud resourc

Wiz by itself is a great business and public markets will price it accordingly, but Google is able to price it much higher because of its unique position. Wiz + GCP sales team will boost adoption of the main product, a Google branded securi

I'm surprised this acquisition didn't happen sooner. The first time I used Wiz I knew a big cloud provider would be snatching them up at some point. Why? Because every enterprise that decides to use cloud providers then needs to f

It's still around but not in active development. Tiling window managers like i3 are just a window manager, but you can add compiz as your compositor to wobble if you want. I think compton is still the most popular "just good enoug

IMO the architect-leader role is an attempt at scratching the itch of not being able to code. I've worked with leaders that would spend any extra time they had building projects in new frontier tech to understand the nuances behind the

My startup has to maintain a HIPAA cert, hence PHI scanning. But, you are correct.

I read all the time about folks who become a VP/CTO and stop coding. Management skills are not coding skills. I know it. But I can't for the life of me figure out why folks hang up their keyboards and let their first super power g

Using something like Vanta or Drata makes life a lot easier. I've done SOC2/PCI audits in fintech where we change tools every year (meaning we reinvented the wheel every year), and I've now done it at my own startup using Dra

I think this will be a hit with the big name audit companies. I know some use databricks for pyspark on the M&A side. As deals move forward and they get more data, they have to scale up their instances which isn't cheap. If polars

Nomad is way easier to self-manage than K8s, but GCP does that for me, with all the compliance boxes checked, for extremely cheap. Every cloud provider is in that boat. Nomad will be more work and more money, be it compute or enterprise fee

I think it's a classic expectations problem. OpenAI is neither _open_ nor is it releasing an _AGI_ model in the near future. But when you see a new major model drop, you can't help but ask, "how close is this to the promise o

Late reply... I don't have my notes anymore on kafka client evals in ruby. When evaluating it was for a former employer. Karafka is very impressive though. Well done on the library.

First time I've heard of KIP-932 and it looks very good. The two biggest issues IMO are finding a good Kafka client in the language you need (even for ruby this is a challenge) and easy at-least-once workers. You can over partition and

It was, but I spend a lot of time flying near DC, so it was nice to know exactly where airspace boundaries were. A luxury, for sure.
