While I agree with you on the merit of the idea, rockets that can take off and then land vertically without damage were also laughable pre-SpaceX.

Not the GP commenter, but I'm still struggling to understand how this relates to the AI world, or perhaps more importantly, what the historical context was. Did people end up switching to MTTR optimization over MTBF optimization? If so

Is this really true? Where are these lists? I’ve never heard of this so I’m quite intrigued.

Absolutely love this! Are you live pulling from Wikipedia for each search? Also worth checking out Atlas Obscura. Kind of similar, kind of different.

That’s pretty cool. What kind of things were your respective churches communicating about?

Saying that you “work on Bun” is such a radical understatement. I have my reservations about Anthropic, but I don’t see how Bun could go wrong with you at the helm. And I’m sure that you are putting the stability and funding of a larger org

This design tool space died a long time ago for me when InVision shut down and pivoted to a digital whiteboard. It’s a really difficult space. But the fundamental problem is that it’s hard to get a design system right long-term, especially

I love it. And no doubt, the smaller your company, the more profound the impact of “agentic” tooling can be. But I am skeptical that people who have not seen a complex corporate environment understand how different it is.

In big companies, the why is 80% of the work. I could swear actual dev work is less than 20% of a “developer’s” job at a standard large (non-SV/FAANG/tech-first) company. The rest is holding a lot of really weird organization-spec

While this is true to an extent, oftentimes the important context is not in the code but in the head of the writer. The code is just the fence in the Chesterton’s Fence analogy. And that is still non-fungible and will (presumably) forever b

Postgres can do so much. I see people choose Kafka and SQS for things that Graphile Worker could do all day long.
