We’ve considered it, but at this point we’re kind of stuck. We’d have to rebuild our brand from scratch. But also, a name almost never makes or breaks a company. :) Also we have a backronym now: Durable Backends, Observable and Simple.

See the sibling comment, it should work out of the box!

The pattern I would recommend in such cases is having one service be responsible for the overall workflow and then call the other services as steps. So if you were for example running a website and wanted to have a "cancellation"

That's been debunked. Every consumer just auto-rounds in their head. Companies keep doing it because of tradition more than anything else. It is a wise trick, and exactly the job of government -- to prevent the public from getting tr

That wouldn't apply if everyone included tax in their prices. In this case, the item would just be $1.10. If the business really thinks they will lose money by pricing over a dollar, then yes, they would have to take that hit. But

"What are we going to do about the rounding problem?!" INCLUDE TAX IN THE PRICE, then you won't have a rounding problem! The common argument against that is "but there are so many tax jurisdictions" One, Europe has

Old VCRs looked for a hidden signal that rental videos put out so you couldn't record them. But it was easy to block with a cheap device that you put in the middle.

Obviously the solution is to get two, one on each side of your laptop, and set them up as mirrors of each other. Then your laptop looks more balanced and you can survive a failure!

There is a solution for Toy Story specifically -- the Laserdisc version. If I'm not mistaken, the laserdisc was digitized from the 35mm print. Toy Story is the only Pixar movie ever released on Laserdisc (along with all their shorts,

As the CEO of DBOS I'm of course heavily biased, but I think DBOS is the perfect solution for you. It has everything you need (queues, crons, easy to understand pure Python). We'd be happy to help you through it if you get stuck

Could you provide some more specifics as to why DBOS isn’t “ready for prime time”? Would love to know what you think is missing! FWIW DBOS is already in production at multiple Fortune 500 companies.

It is, but the point is that it's not huge compared to other people at the company. Directors at Netflix make over $1M (and some of the engineers too). In the Bay Area that's a big number, but not unfathomably huge.

Did you know that the State of California has a DNA sample from every person born in the state since 1983? It's required by law for the hospital to collect it and give it to the state.

I think your complaint is about CEO comp , not CEO pay. CEOs generally don't make a ton of cash (for example the CEOs of Netflix get $3M a year, which is just a bit more than the VPs get). However, they get a bonus based on company

Yes! They have logfire and the AI framework (and they play nicely together and with DBOS). https://docs.dbos.dev/integrations/logfire

Same. My wife wouldn't let me wait. She insisted we be able to control the thermostat. :) (The wheel on ours was broken so we could only control it via app).

I have no mind's eye, and neither does my wife. Neither of us even realized people can actually see images in their head until recently. Our children appear to have a mind's eye though.

This was by far the most interesting part to me. I've never considered that code and proofs can be so complementary. It would be great if someone did this for all math proofs! "Why include a script rather than a proof? One reaso

Nowadays you could probably pull that off, most tools support quickly changing the time on the fly.

Don't forget changing the day 1/3 of the time. But more importantly, if I'm scrambling to solve an incident, the last thing I want to do is deal with time conversions in my head.
