📣 We're excited to announce High Performance SQLite, a video course coming in June.

You can't have a fast app with a slow database! But database education isn't really made for the modern developer.

With help from Turso, we're going to change that.

moments like this where some unfortunate call center employee has to apologize that these government organizations are so fractured & outdated that they can't even email people make me so sad

how did we get all the incentives so wrong to end up with a system like this?

found out I had unpaid tax with the state of OR. never got any mail about it (and they don't call or email because lol)

they had my old address — but I changed my address!
