This article really struck a chord in me. At the end of May, I started suffering from Achilles tendonitis in one of my feet. Because I was exercising too vigorously too early in the morning while my body was not properly warmed up. Never a

What the article says about the hub and spoke model, singing praises of Obsidian, couldn't these points just as easily apply to Eclipse (the open source editor)? Eclipse isn't universally beloved. I haven't been following Ecl

This is not true. You have to define health checks on your instances that reflect the availability of all services they host. And you have to allow there to be more instances than your target number in each autoscaling group.

In the first anecdote the author recounted, I suspect the reason that opening up the codebase to Adam was so effective is that Adam had a mathematical background. It's not true that anyone who has studied mathematics at a high level is

Why on earth would you expect that to be true? I share your bias, but if I'm being intellectually honest with myself, this is an unjustified bias.

I've never in general been a fan of "open core" products. As someone who builds things, it feels like poor craftsmanship to put obstacles in front of your users and limit the extent to which they can use your work. It also fe

I'm an xfinity customer in the Bay Area. I am unable to hit services I'm hosting on AWS. Nor am I able to hit the AWS console. I am on a Google Meet right now with one of our users (so able to connect to Google Meet servers), and

The fact that pinecone published this is proof of how many AI tooling products see Langchain as key to their distribution. Personally, I find langchain unnecessary if you already know which tools you are going to use. It remains to be seen

Wasn't this dressed up and sold to the masses as blitzscaling just a few years ago? I like the term "venture predation" better.

Have to give it to them for how useful their status page is. Other products we use play all kinds of word games to downplay issues so they don't have to show them on the status page, which is extremely annoying.

Not just issues and PRs - I had to try multiple times before I was able to successfully push code to a repo over SSH. This is the error I was seeing: ERROR: fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure y

I like the game itself - it feels well balanced when you are playing single-player mode with built-in cards only. But creating your own cards is an INCREDIBLY frustrating experience. This is a robot I tried to create (sumbot): "This ro

First of all, great name. Second, I am in awe of how good your documentation is and how well you communicate about atuin to the world at large. Does Atuin offer any features to toggle the capture of commands into its DB? Being able to opt-i

I also feel like having caught a hazy glimpse of something monumental. Thank you. A few thoughts to add: 1. Should individuals inherit edge weight from their employers/governments? What should this inheritance be like? If I have no deb

I do not think this is a problem of mortgage-backed securities. The problem is that SVB tied up their liquidity for 10 years at a yield far lower than they would get with more secure investments after the FED's rate hikes. The specific

Centralized crypto exchanges are not a safe haven. Never have been. It does make fully on-chain USDC and DAI stablecoins look like refuges though.

Once you've built a system that works well in production (and scales elastically, too, it seems), it is really difficult to switch out the underlying infrastructure. Makes sense about walking it back. The problem with running your own

I'm curious how significant a risk products like AWS Lightsail are to your business - it seems you are competing in the same market, but: 1. They have vastly different ongoing capital and cashflow requirements than you do. 2. They have

I read your review, and had a question so I thought I'd follow up here. You mentioned render.com as a competitor - does render host its own infrastructure or do they act as a go-between between their users and AWS/GCP/whateve

Liked the video but think that’s only because it confirmed my biases. I have seen many companies succeed despite them clearly viewing their users as pawns. In fact, most YC companies that try to sell me things are blatantly transactional an

I found the interactive demo overwhelming and very difficult to unpack. It would probably be much easier to understand if it was a system I worked on every day.
