We generally try to do things that give a return on investment and don't burn money for no reason. This one most certainly had the ROI. It took 4-ish people to build it in under a year and it removed significant pain and increased deve

Right. The devs have full sudo access. They can install and configure whatever they want. Our Bento tool has pre/post setup hooks for all services. So teams can automate this. When something is commonly used we just preinstall it for t

We don’t use spot because they can be yanked away easily. Savings plans and hibernation are the biggest cost savers.

We actually moved away from containers for dev purposes for almost all of our apps, though many teams still use them. Mainly because they are a bad developer experience. We invested in making apps run consistently in a native way. Bento was

We at Instacart use them heavily. It is a system my team built called Bento Remote ("Bento" is a local orchestration tool we previously built). We built Bento Remote ourselves because Codespaces was in its infancy at the time and

I literally don't understand the first example. What just happened here? Did pkgx see that I failed to run bun and then just like... installed it and ran it for me? Does that mean on my next prompt I should run `bun` or should I run `p

As the other commenter mentions, you can actually use `docker context` to choose which system you want to use for all of your tools. That docker socket you're referencing is just for the default context if you never chose anything. Per

Gotcha, totally understand. But I will say that ideas matter far less than the ability to deliver quickly and with high quality. IRC technically has nearly all of the same features as Slack and yet... So far you're far ahead of the com

Can you share any long term plans past 1.0? Honestly it feels like a finished product already. Which is amazing for a 1.0!

Probably at this point this is the closest the US can get to declaring war with another major nuclear power. Declaring actual war would probably escalate to a horrific end with nuclear weapons. The US is explicitly and very loudly supplying

If this was mine, I'm so sorry :) Just kidding, I actually know my VB6 code is still running in prod. VB6 did let me learn to program very valuable utilities from scratch, with practically no programming experience. I probably owe my e

Great question! I don't know. I assume that Tesla pays the owner a flat monthly fee for spots but who knows. Likely some spots are more valuable than others. In some places Superchargers might bring in more people to the local business

Compare that to gasoline at ~$104 to fill a tank of gas on an Audi Q5 (rough equivalent of a Model Y. It has an 18.5G tank and premium gas is $5.65 here). The Q5 does get far more range though. Something like 450+ miles vs the 330 of the Mo

It is usually dramatically cheaper to charge at home at night. For example, in Alameda California I pay: * 15.17 cents per kWH during off-peak times (nights and weekends) * 50 cents per kWH during peak times (5pm-9pm) The Supercharger down

Anecdata: It directly lead us (Instacart) to try and then adopt Tailscale. Many of us had used it at home and were happy nerds. This gave it a huge initial leg up vs other "enterprisey" VPNs when we were in the evaluation stage. T

For PG&E it appears they have an EV specific rate plan that is cheaper. It says it is $0.27/kWh for off peak charging. https://www.pge.com/pge_global/local/images/data/en-us/rate-... I can&

Do you have a source? That is really interesting if so! I'll plug my car in more often then. I remember seeing Elon Musk say that our Model 3 was rated for 1500 recharge cycles. Our warranty is for 70% capacity after 8 years or 120k mi

Chrome used to be a lot faster years back so I switched. Firefox sadly has never given me a reason to switch back. Chrome is still fast and generally easy to use. (Maybe others here can give me good reasons to switch?) Chrome also has some

OrbStack is shockingly good. We have tools that are deeply integrated with Docker Desktop and the CLI and it all worked perfectly out of the box when I switched to OrbStack. It also takes like seconds to start and has yet to overheat my lap

Mainly because Tailscale is popular with the HN crowd. Many people use it for their personal home networks, and some companies do to (we do at Instacart). The nice thing about this is it means you can invite anyone into your network without

With their default model it did extremely badly with my question to build this script. It wasn't even close to right. When I changed it to "Use Best Model" it gave a very good response but I'm pretty certain it was just

This is significantly worse than ChatGPT with GPT-4 for coding. I had an example from last week where I wanted to write a script to delete excess AWS AMIs based on some tags of ours. Then modified it to bucket them by a tag value and keep t

We (Instacart) were looking for alternatives before it started costing money. One of the primary reasons we pivoted and built remote development environments was because of the horrible performance of Docker Desktop. Even when running conta

Atlantis is basically just a terraform oriented command runner. I believe you can create a custom Atlantis workflow that'll just run `pulumi preview` or `pulumi up`. That's how Atlantis supports terragrunt as well: https:/&#
