🔥 Today is launch day! 🔥 We (Joe and I) are so excited to share with you a new version of Instant! The last time we launched was back in September — almost one year ago! instantdb.com

Naming projects is such an underappreciate skill

We are a happy customer, highly recommend inngest.com/blog/how-durab…

Wrote a story about Hacker Gifts, a project I started in 2018, and the reasons I’m winding it down. frantic.im/hacker-gifts/

These days I take fancy recording setups for educational videos as anti-signal. Guess which video will actually teach you the inner workings of stable diffusion?

Looking at Rails 8 milestone github.com/rails/rails/mi…, it is hard not to get frustrated at the JS ecosystem, where we are still stuck on Next and only getting deeper into @Vercel's lock-in

Java devs looking at AI researchers be like

37signal folks have an excellent product taste: Basecamp, Hey, etc. — well thought out. I only wish the UX details were better. They seem stuck in the 2010s, UIs look dated and feel slow. Is the hate for React holding dhh's eng team back?

🤌

After shutting down side projects, I move the backups to the graveyard gg hacker.gifts & jokinghazard.app 🫡

Opening new terminal tabs used to be so slow — I thought it was my heavily tuned iTerm2 and zsh. But then (inspired by xz story) I found zprof and realized it was all nvm (350ms+ → 🗑️) Fast tools make me so happy wow

The ability to tell apart duplication from abstraction must be one of the most undervalued software engineering skills. I've saved myself so much time and headache by duplicating code that later turned out to diverge for good reasons.

Is there something like lintrule but supported and working? I love the idea (define a vague set of human-readable rules for LLM to evaluate on every commit), but looks like the project is abandoned

It's funny how backend devs blame frontend devs for choosing DX over UX, but themselves go for HTMX or LiveView which is also totally DX over UX (costs interaction latency for the convenience of rendering everything on the server)
