So cool. Would love to hear more - What app do you use? How often do you clear your inbox and how long does it take?

My best guess for the sparse icons in older MacOS versions: icons only for frequently-used menu items.

I disagree. I started with Elixir and its OTP resources are really good. Books like Elixir in Action do a great job. I read Programming Erlang later, but it was just for fun, and I…

False, payroll taxes are split. And Texas is famous for its property taxes.

You think they don’t pay payroll tax, sales tax, or property tax? Operating a business means consuming and producing things, which involves paying taxes.

Clickbait title. First, this is narrowly about federal income tax. SpaceX presumably pays plenty of other taxes. Second, using the projected profits in the article, SpaceX will hav…

I consider myself expert-level at Elixir and did not learn Erlang first. Couldn't write a single line of Erlang today unaided if I tried. I picked up Joe's Erlang book years after …

It doesn't matter as much as you think. I believe this is in part due to how assertive most Elixir code tends to be. [1] These assertions not only aid the LSP and can cause compile…

This is a good way of framing that we don't understand human creativity. And that we can't hope to build it until we do. i.e. AGI is a philosophical problem, not a scaling problem.…

Your unique advantage is you know Vitess super well. Your unique disadvantage is you know Vitess super well! Second system syndrome is real. Using as much Vitess as possible could …

This is so cool. A key benefit is that it's not embedding the C Lua runtime and compiler, but rather implements Lua in the host language (Elixir/Erlang). When sandboxing user code …

Why do we use hotkeys and snippets? There is a lot of tedium in software development and these tools help alleviate it.

Sequin engineer here. We'll publish our benchmark repo soon! Indeed, we're still doing a lot of fiddling with Debezium ourselves to make sure we cover different configurations, dep…

AFAIK, the reason for these changes is basically "prevent AWS from eating our business". Is that right? If so, are these trends harmful to open source? Are we not choosing between:…

Very fun – I wasn't aware, thank you!

Aye, thanks! That's very helpful to hear. I just cut back our use of the acronym a ton: https://github.com/sequinstream/sequin/commit/28bfba603da6d2...

We just applied this framework to the Sequin [1] docs two weeks ago. It has felt so nice to have a framework. I think our docs flow really well now, and it's been easier for us to …
