I’ve been informed by my family that having a “DRI” column in our spreadsheet of Thanksgiving dishes is “stupid” and “who do you think you are?”

I’ve been watching this “Corruption in the Workplace” training video for like 35 minutes and I still can’t figure out if it’s for or against.

I have an announcement: I do not get web3 and I will not be making any money on it. Not taking questions at this time.

I signed up for AARP (turns out, there’s no age limit) and I am LOVING this email newsletter content. “Movies for Grownups”? YES PLEASE.

My banking journey: 1.Simple Bank (great mobile/web apps) 2. Simple bought by BBVA (not great mobile/web apps). 3. BBVA bought by PNC (terrible mobile/web apps - like straight out of 2003). Having good UI must make you wildly unsuccessful as a bank.

Spend too much time identifying troubling queries? Today, we’re launching PlanetScale Insights. Insights provides detailed real-time, fully-integrated database performance metrics at your fingertips. No third-party APM required. planetscale.com/blog/introduci…

We should just not let the stocks go down. Why would we allow them to go down?

To whoever stole my lawn mower: you forgot the plug thing for if you don’t want to bag the grass. I’m going to leave it in the same place tonight so you can get it because it’s a huge mess without it.

We just added database error monitoring to Insights! You can now see error messages that are produced on your database and drill down to see exactly which queries caused them. See how we fixed an error on our internal database in this post by Rafer Hazen. planetscale.com/blog/debugging…

In computer programming, a panic is like an exception, only much sweatier.

The new dad of twitter is doing, in my opinion, a very bad job.

Step 2 of all woodworking projects is sanding the blood out.

PlanetScale Insights now shows time-series metrics on a per-query pattern basis. See how the PlanetScale Engineering team used it to identify and troubleshoot a problematic query and reduce its latency from 15 minutes to just a few hundred milliseconds! planetscale.com/blog/query-per…

Imagine having bet your company on the metaverse.

Since rolling out our new version of PlanetScale Insights we have collected 2.5 trillion queries. 🚀

For PlanetScale Insights, we don't sample queries; we collect stats for every single one of over 10 billion user queries daily. How do we do it? With sharding! Read more from Rafer Hazen about how we built a scalable telemetry pipeline: planetscale.com/blog/running-q…

🎉 Introducing schema recommendations You will now automatically receive recommendations to improve database performance, reduce memory and storage, and improve your schema based on production traffic.

PlanetScale now supports Postgres.

It’s time to bring PlanetScale’s performance, scale, and reliability to Postgres. Learn more about why we built it and how we’re approaching Vitess for Postgres: pscale.link/ps-postgres
