The longer I work in engineering the fewer windows I want open on my screen If this is “PGAdmin, but 50% worse, but it just lives as another tab in your editor instead of another application” that is genuinely a huge win for me Probably tha

I think this is an excellent comment. Not enough people talk about living near other parents in this way, and you’re right that it’s a massive difference-maker.

It’s certainly true that there are real downsides to both ends of the spectrum — but all things being equal I’d rather be wiping my tears with hundred dollar bills than tissues

Aside from the pure “networking” factor, the expectations/environment are a big deal too I went to private school and in hindsight it pretty obviously altered my life for the better — I was a smart but lazy kid, and being surrounded by

Ooooh can’t wait for that, and for further investment in Prisma Studio generally — already a really nice tool, I just want some slightly more power-user-y stuff!

Anecdotal of course, but I feel a very distinct difference between 3.5 and 3.7 when swapping between them in Cursor’s Agent mode (so the system prompt stays consistent).

Only if they perceive the sycophancy. And many people don’t have a very evolved filter for it!

This thread is absolutely fascinating — American, never heard of this practice (esp ct/st), and desperately want it in my life now!

I think this is kinda reductive. If you’ve got users all over the world, then global DB replicas are a sizable performance improvement, whether you’ve got 1 engineer or 1,000.

Not 100% parallel, but I was debugging a slow endpoint earlier today in our app which uses Mongo/mongoose. I removed a $lookup (the mongodb JOIN equivalent) and replaced it with, as Prisma does, two table lookups and an in-memory join

Well, certainly, a transit operator should be doing their own research — this isn’t a replacement for that. But this is excellent as a complementary new piece of data, especially one that can be gathered so frequently and easily (especial

This is really brilliant — like desire paths, but for transit. Obviously execution will be challenging, but the concept is fantastic, and China/Shanghai seems like one of the few places with the requisite density & state capacity t

Really? Google would still have an astonishingly large lead in the ad markets.

Saw the “made by Evan Wallace” and went “huh, that sounds familiar…” Yeah, not surprising this guy went on to build Figma! Super cool

I had the same thought! Honestly, even the body of the device isn’t really that far off from what you would get today. Kinda awesome.

Biking isn’t difficult, but you’ll still travel more with a car.

Cool. Good luck on both that and Anubis generally — seems like you’ve found something that’s both a meaningful benefit to the common good AND could maybe make a buncha money, or at least enough to pay for development, which is awesome.

I mean, to be honest, they gotta do both to achieve what they’re aiming for. A truly useful AI assistant has context on my last 100,000 emails - and also recalls the details of each individual one perfectly, without confusion or hallucinati

I imagine there is quite a large, quiet fraction (majority) of users who were the same way. Not to say it’s not an important discussion!

I mostly agree that the benefit of a product-focused founder & CEO is the ability to make judgement calls, even corrections, and get things moving faster However, I think the more work you blow up when you do this, the more it’s reflect

Really? Maybe my knowledge of EV ranges is way out of wack. I was assuming avg ranges look much more like ~200mi on a full battery in real-world conditions, and that a 30-min charge usually only gets you 80%. Sounds like I’m at least somewh

Superchargers aren’t available everywhere, and even in your scenario that’s still twice as long as it takes me to fill a gas tank, and you have to do it twice as often (at least). That’s not nothing!

Even if there are charging stations every ten miles along the exact route you were already planning to take, it’s just straightforwardly true that it’s more annoying to charge vs. get gas. I can fill my tank and be back on the road in <5

If we don’t actively try to identify and implement positive use cases, then yes, it’ll definitely bring more harm than good. Isn’t that all the more reason to call out our high hopes?

Depends on whether you think renting a home is a way to solve the housing crisis. If your definition of “solved housing crisis” is “everyone can buy a home,” a ban on corporate ownership could help a little. If your goal is instead “everyon

There are good reasons mentioned already, but additionally, there’s a real strong cargo cult developing around Postgres these days.

The answer -- as it is with every version of "why is this JS so complicated?" -- is that frontend web dev: - is the default way that most humans interact with computers - is an extraordinarily broad problem space and solution sp
