thanks, helpful read!

can anyone point to the "Durable" part? looking at the docs and examples, I see Workflows and Steps and Retries, but I don't see any Durable yet. none of the examples really make i…

The interface in question is the second link in the post. To get to the interface without any of the other relevant context, you would have to: - skip reading the post (which expla…

I would recommend reading more of the pricing page. You'll learn that: - $312/year and $960/year are for unlimited users, not per seat - Additional error/event volume is priced sep…

Sentry's been around for ~15 years, and has been using a license fitting the Fair Source definition for ~5 years. This is not a "hastily preparing ourselves to be acquired" sort of…

"they have seemingly just ignored the better option...obviously much nicer" This comes off a bit presumptuous. I would assume that they are aware this is a possibility. "having to …

As an Airplane customer, Ben was the man, always super helpful when we had questions. When we heard Airplane was shutting down, everyone's first thought was "can we hire that Yolke…

I used to work for a bot mitigation vendor 8-10 years ago, researching / implementing signals for this cat and mouse game. This will get you past some very mundane bot detections, …

APoSD is a relatively quick high-signal read, and not really a source of additional chaos. You can get through it in a weekend or less. It mostly gives you vocabulary and labels an…

Love Kysely, been rooting for it ever since it was first released. Paired with kysely-codegen, it's my favorite TS SQL interface. Does just enough, but not too much. Had lots of go…

Yea, DuckDB is a slam dunk when you have a relatively static dataset - object storage is your durable primary SSOT, and ephemeral VMs running duckdb pointed at the object storage p…

I recently read his book, “A Philosophy of Software Design”, and loved it. It’s 175 pages of well-refined, to-the-point, applicable wisdom; highly recommended.

I think https://github.com/RobinBlomberg/kysely-codegen does roughly the same thing?

I see a kysely + kysely-codegen (generates types from DB schema) setup as comparable to Prisma in TS integration, with the added flexibility/closeness-to-SQL of the querybuilder. I…

No, he's stated somewhere in the issue tracker that he has no plans to ever do this. edit: here - https://github.com/koskimas/kysely/issues/162#issuecomment-1...

You sound like you're trying to have it both ways: "OTel solves a problem that is irrelevant unless you're massive" but also "well of COURSE it can work if you're not massive, how …

most or all of the observability domain experts i'm familiar with either stopped talking about "pillars" several years ago, or have been actively speaking against the "3 pillars" f…

Hadoop isn't a database, they don't do anything close to the same thing. Nobody is cross-shopping PlanetScale vs Hadoop. The cross-shop is PlanetScale vs Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora,…

The idea of slope vs y-intercept as applied to people/hiring is not some random unknown made-up theory; it's quite commonly discussed/repeated among founders, VCs, etc. I think it …

Hi, I work for Pave (but I don't speak for Pave, etc etc). > If I remember correctly, because they have your name, they also scrape LinkedIn data about you and try to get as much i…

Yes. Some folks who variously: a) didn't know how to recognize a cheeky straw man proposal b) didn't know how to take a joke c) didn't agree with (or understand the importance of) …

Have you ever considered that solutions to your perceived problem might exist? I’ve done multiple different takehomes with some kind of time limit in place to avoid that sort of th…

I've also been following Kysely and am a big fan, having used Objection.js and Knex a lot in the past. I consider Kysely to be the TypeScript-native spiritual successor to Knex. Fo…
