Excellent bait, really top notch stuff — no notes.

> But how do we actively incentivize that? Is immediately and completely solving the problem not a good enough incentive? If you go outside and interact, you will be much less lonely. There is no barrier! You don't need to overthink

Very cool. One usecase the blogpost seems to hint at is to use this to implement async agents that write code for you. Like, you have some system that hears about a new issue — from slack, linear, wherever — and then spins up a Sprite, chec

Huge fan! Parakeet v3 works great with it. I have used Monologue, Superwhisper, and Aqua, at various times in the past. But Handy is at least as good, and it's not an expensive subscription. I love that it runs locally, too. Strongly r

Ben, you probably don't remember me but you hired me ages ago to help out with the Python client for Timber. Just want to say thanks for that opportunity — it's been amazing to watch you guys succeed. Also, I've ended up bein

Correct, but it's been ages and the default actions/setup-go github action still uses go.sum instead. I see that someone already commented on the longstanding issue to reference this post, and that there is some hope that they&#x2

pg_dump has a few annoyances when it comes to doing stuff like this — tricky to select exactly the data/columns you want, and also the dumped format is not always stable. My migration tool pgmigrate has an experimental `pgmigrate dump`

Yeah unfortunately I think that it's not really possible to hit the speed of a TEMPLATE copy with MariaDB. @EvanElias (maintainer of https://github.com/skeema/skeema about this) was looking into it at one point, m

Is this basically using templates as "snapshots", and making it easy to go back and forth between them? Little hard to tell from the README but something like that would be useful to me and my team: right now it's a pain to i

Really interesting article, I didn't know that the template cloning strategy was configurable. Huge fan of template cloning in general; I've used Neon to do it for "live" integration environments, and I have a golang pro

Great books! Strongly recommend for anyone into fantasy stuff.

That's a really cool prompt idea, I just tried it with my neighborhood and it nailed it. Very impressive.

I appreciate being able to pay for a service I rely on. Using self-hosted runners, I previously paid nothing for Github Actions — now I do pay something for it. The price is extremely cheap and seems reasonable considering the benefits I re

by peterldowns 10mo ago
I'm happy to see they're investing in Actions — charging for it should help make sure it continues to work. It's a huge reason Github is so valuable: having the status checks run on every PR, automatically, is great. Even tho

At CloudX ( https://cloudx.io ) we’re building a new supply-side advertising platform for mobile publishers. Yes, it's ads, and yes, there's AI involved, so stop reading here if that's not interesting to you. It&#x2

The beauty of mise is that as long as someone is hosting a precompiled binary for you, it's easy to get it. I just repro'd and yeah, `mise use php` fails for me on my machine because I don't have any dev headers. But looks li

by peterldowns 11mo ago
Agreed. Recently started a new gig and set up Mise (previously had used nix for this) in our primary repos so that we can all share dependencies, scripts, etc. The new monorepo mode is great. Basically no one has complained and it's ma

I just ordered two cans of the cougar gold, one of the viking, and one of the mild cheddar. If it's not good I will blame you. The archaic checkout system and the fact that this is a Washington State school agricultural product make me

Wow that is pretty bad. The comments in particular don't really make sense and are also dripping with AI mannerisms. Gross.

I respect that, makes sense.

I didn't complain, I'm legitimately asking. I've never seen so many ads in a personal tech blog before, it's an extremely confusing choice to me.

Why do you have so many ads in this blog post?

Would be nice to see an example of one of these cue sheets, I'm curious about the layout.

How did that work economically? Who paid for you to do that and how was it worth it for them to do so?
