The thing I've been trying - instead of the docs saying "just run docker-compose up" (and a few other commands), put all of those commands in a bash script. That single bootstrap command should: docker compose down, docker c

I agree that this blog post is part "orm" and part "lead gen for my saas app which helps you write sql queries". I think a blog title which reflects this, ORM and AiHelperBot, would be more helpful. That being said - th

I’m assuming the difference is: “big $$ license fees” for on-prem is $X a year, while “sweet saas revenue” is $A a year, $B per user, $C for compute, $D for storage, and $E for requests. As a large company, what are the things you are more

"But these days the human cost is just another cost" - this is where I think you, "key_stroker", and the GP, "brookst", might agree on something, in my opinion. If someone agrees with your premise that "

Yeah, I was hoping the HN title would give some context on why it was being posted now (2023). My guess: "TIL about a really cool js framework which has been around for years"? Which in my opinion is totally fair, but others mig

To make sure I'm understanding you correctly: you are saying that sites which use alpine will use progressive enhancement, where most of the static content is vanilla html, and then little alpine snippets are used to improve the page (

Has there been any interest in telling this story in any rich medium (podcast, long form article, 30 minute youtube video, documentary, netflix series). Not only does that sound super interesting, but now that most/all of Twitter Exec

Totally agree. I try to take them to the library often, but (for families who can afford it) the convenience is nice because they can research something on their own without a trip to the library - at which point they probably would have l

While I do agree that information in books can/will be out of date, I find the critique in this case funny because he was watched the world cup final game. So he knew who the winner/runner up was and added them to the bottom of h
