Interesting that they did a major layoff on a US holiday (MLK Day).

Spanner provides serializability. It seems like DSQL only guarantees "repeatable read". https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aurora-dsql/latest/userguide/wor...

Sentry provides a great hosted service. You can self host if you like, but it’s nicer to let them do it

The Sentry SDK is open source and easy to contribute to in my experience.

It'll be hard to position this against Sentry. Sentry's a joy to use and their performance product is so helpful in debugging performance issues

That’s true, but with ESPPs, you get a discount on the stock price, effectively guaranteeing a decent return that would be hard to beat.

Yes, but that wasn't available when they did this migration

I like that polar supports funding specific issues or pull requests. Seems like a nice way to help fund a project while also helping prioritize issues you care about.

There is a lounge with seating, you just need a ticket

It'd be great if there was an rss feed for your blog

Not the most accurate title. They’re still using Typescript for type checking, they’re just using JSDoc type annotations instead of Typescript syntax

Mypy is the most correct and flexible type checker I’ve found. Pyright is great for auto complete in VSCode though, so I use both. The Google and Facebook options aren’t well suppo…

I pay for Feedly even though I had access to a very generous free plan. Their product is reliable and I use it every day, so it only seems fair to pay.

With the new GitHub code search, the first result is the DeleteView class: https://github.com/django/django/blob/bd366ca2aeffa869b7dbc0...

One of the engineering leaders at my company was big on Retool and it was pushed out as a way for backend developers to write frontend code. Now 6 months later that leader is gone,…

WAL is reliable, but Publish/Notify isn't. You'll lose messages with Publish/Notify if you aren't listening for them.

Your Python example has unnecessary type annotations. Python type checkers like mypy and Pylance can infer the type of `words` automatically. def main() -> None: words = ["Hello", …

TIL that ContextVars can work in place of thread locals too. Thanks for pointing that out! I had mistakenly assumed ContextVars only worked for async code.

Yeah, precommit isn’t my favorite thing out of personal preference. So it’s a shame prettier doesn’t have built in caching like other tools in the space.

Prettier itself would feel much faster if it supported caching like other code formatters (Python's Black, Rust's rust-fmt)

Dropbox support can rollback your Dropbox account to a previous point in time too.

What about https://github.com/Roblox/luau ? It gives Typescript-like annotations.

I'm encountering issues with the GitHub API too.

I wish there was something this good for Golang.
