   This is the perfect use of cloudflare containers. Rare, bursty workloads that fit around regular use of Workers. I use them to generate thumbnails when uploading large photo files for my personal flickr clone, not even noticeable in billing

   I've been celebrating five years of working on OnlineOrNot ( https://onlineornot.com/ ) by adding more features for teams that build software: - 2FA, PassKey, and password-based login for folks that hate magic links - Mo

   I'd be terrified to run anything other than a classic web server on Hetzner, have heard too many stories of them arbitrarily terminating workloads they didn't understand.

   Have you seen the price of RAM recently?

   You can't get a hackable watch for a fraction of the price, though. I'd pay more for being able to fumble about in the codebase and add exactly what I want.

   Most engineers I know are now picking off backlog items and tech debt //TODOs dating back several years. Things that I had labelled "too hard, pain in the ass" I'm now finishing in half an hour or so with proper tes

    I recently rewrote my frontend's API from GraphQL to REST (I had a public API that was always behind on functionality - this approach forces me to keep it up to date), using Hono + Zod has been brilliant for creating types that my fron

    I get several folks per week claiming an ai/llm recommended them my product, while I personally wouldn't run a procurement process that way, some certainly do. > Claude is never on the web reading documentation - as far as I ca

    I always saw it as bimodal (even before LLMs) - you have folks working in regular shops making average comp, and you have the big tech elites earning high base + equity comp. The Pragmatic Engineer argues it's actually trimodal (at lea

    Enough to consider employing others to keep the business running without me, not enough to employ myself full-time, unfortunately. For the "from what?" bit, see my bio.

    "5 times faster" reminds me of Cap'n Proto's claim: in benchmarks, Cap’n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers: https://capnproto.org/

    Sure Bootstrap is better, for you . Your postscript explains why: using the same "btn-primary" as every other user of the framework hints that you're not building something with its own visual identity. For the rest of us, w

    LLMs are quite capable of rewrites these days - there are few tasks where I'd actually want 10 parallel agents, but rewriting off Next.js would've been faster with that setup. (I ended up just using the claude web interface and ma

    I had a habit of building for two hours a day, so I didn't have a lack of motivation or anything, but what boosted it most was getting better at sales and marketing to make it worth building.

    I did something similar to get OnlineOrNot's twitter handle - I realised that unclaimed names would 404 and so I set up a check to get an alert when that happened.
