Is there a blog post anywhere that explains why it has taken so long to get search working? Ghostty is such a nice app but that's such a fundamental feature that there has to be a good reason... It's the only thing keeping me on i

Thank you; I feel similarly and wish I could go back as an adult to take even more advantage of all the incredible opportunities. Having four years to dedicate to learning new things in depth -- with zero pressure to take shortcuts so tha

How good is the interop story with Elixir/Erlang currently? Can I include a few gleam modules in my Elixir application and let mix take care of compiling and linking everything properly?

+1. That being said, universal k-12 schooling works because it is publicly run. A subsidized private sector model has a lot of bad incentives and issues to work out. As an example, I've sent my kids to a private school for the past fiv

I have it too and feel the same way. If I could easily just use it as a text terminal -- with emacs and ssh support -- I would use it every day. But when I looked up the hacking side of things it looked like a lot of work and kind of sketch

Just wanted to say your service is fantastic. We are using it extensively from our Elixir application so it's cool to see that make your list of languages -- is there an official integration coming out?

When I was most recently at Google (2021-ish) my team owned a bunch of SQL Pipelines that had fairly effective SQL tests. Not my favorite thing to work on, but it was a productive way to transform data. There are lots of open source version

Oban is so good! My startup has an extensive graph of background jobs all managed by Oban, and it's just rock solid, simple to use and gets out of the way.

I'm in the same boat. I just cannot get them to work; they work sometimes on some browsers , but a solid majority of the time I click on "use passkey" I get a generic error message and end up going back and using the passw

I've built document parsing pipelines for a few clients recently, and yeah this approach yields way superior results using what's currently available. Which is completely absurd, but here we are.

You can buy a RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell for $8000-ish which has 96GB VRAM and is much faster than the Apple integrated GPU.

Thank you so much for giving it a spin and reporting those issues :) Also if you're interested, here is what your dashboard looks like (the onboarding flow is sadly the buggiest part of the app right now): https://imgur.com&

So the short answer is that this space is so early still that there’s plenty of space for more competition. But currently both of those market leaders are targeted at enterprise and have little to no penetration of the SMB/self-serve m

I launched a product in this space to beta customers just last week -- https://ellm.co -- and the response has been way more positive than I could have hoped for. Every SMB owner I talk to is thinking about this and looking for

FYI if anyone is looking for a production ready job runner in Elixir, I strongly recommend Oban. They have a paid pro version but the open source version is still absolutely fantastic.

Apologies since I have not taken the time to learn rust yet, but I've written a lot of modern C++. Is the ownership model kind of like std::unique_ptr and std::move, and `Rc<RefCell<Node>>` the same idea as `std::shared_ptr

This has not been my experience at all -- even as recently as last year it was Recruiter: "Here's your offer for $X" You: "Well I'm also negotiating an offer with Z for $X + 200k Recruiter: OK well how about $X + 20

I'm in loops at multiple FAANGs right now and it's not even that bad. Feels similar to when I did this last time? But I do get the impression that they're all just throwing out any resumes that don't already have a FAA

That's not true in the AI/ML space. But for everything else I would agree.

Inbox is the one that still stings for me. I'm paying some silly amount for Superhuman which is almost there, but.. nothing is as good as Inbox was.

This looks great; I've been working on something similar but I'll drop it since this is much further along. Do you have a list of issues/feature requests you'd like contributions on?

IMO notebooks are hugely overused and don't have any place in the development of software. But they're fantastic for what they were designed for -- which is quite literally "notebooks". AFAIK the idea was first populariz

I still use proto2 if possible. The syntactic sugar around `oneof` wasn't nice enough to merit dealing with proto3's implicit presence -- maybe it is just because I learned proto2 with C++ and don't use Go, but proto3 just se

I bought one! It was a breathtaking piece of hardware that I wanted so badly to be useful. Unfortunately my work can't be done in Windows and it wasn't powerful enough to virtualize everything (the slow HDD was the worst) and I en
