Viewing profile — allthetime

For a “personal website” or any relatively simple static content site, the DB should not be getting hit much at all. Cache is your friend. For my sites I have a map of all relevant…

A $5/month VPS is fine for mostly static content. I’ve got a site that has been pulling millions of viewers and sits at the top of google for its niche for a decade. It is now hamm…

Yeah can't remember how long ago but it was running out after less than an hour - then they announced they were loosening restrictions and I've been able to easily get everything I…

Antigravity + Gemini Pro absolutely RIPS through fullstack react + react-native apps / systems. I pay ~$20/month and I basically don't have to do my real work anymore. My time is f…

Any platform specific code or config can be replaced with self-built infrastructure. Everything else you write should be portable.

1) I think about this a lot. The AI overview has already destroyed the need to even look further down the page for a lot of people. And if you look further down the page, there is …

Bluetooth chat apps already exist. I used a really shitty looking (but functional) one called Berkanan that I found by searching the App Store for a Bluetooth chat app to talk to f…

Aside from relative lack of examples, Zig also changes fundamentally from version to version. LLMs are fundamentally pattern recognizers though. Bun is big with lots of repeated co…

This applies to code as well, except, typing, instead of generating

They aren’t trying to sell me anything. Better multi-threading, better memory usage, open source, open governance. Redis went corporate.

I work with both Rust and Zig. Claude is much more efficient (~ magnitude in time) and correct (output actually compiles) with rust.

Compiling to a single binary for prod is the killer feature imo.

Valkey made me forget redis existed in about a day. If I say redis now I actually mean valkey.

Extra Judicial punishment and unwanted attention from powerful organizations is absolutely on the table for any larger startup/company who finds themselves in his radar

I use Apple based passkeys to log into everything I can now. I have given it virtually no thought since all my relevant accounts and rolled out support. My non-technical close frie…

Yeah mostly just keepalives and timeouts, increasing kernel maximums for connections, using Unix sockets directly instead of tcp, using pgbouncer, etc. as always, depends on use ca…

The $10 VPS that serves your web app can run Postgres just fine. If it can’t? Fire up another $10 VPS. Learn how to tune your configs and network settings and query/cache efficient…

All my active repos have both codeberg and github remotes now. Unfortunately codeberg can be very slow or even impossible to push/pull from sometimes which is the only reason I’m s…

That wasn’t credibility, it was cash money.

I recently took a small contract to help a vibe-founder de-vibe his project a bit. One hour with him has done more for my confidence as a developer than all the good work I’ve done…

Why? I use a similar model in a few mobile apps. Free, not logged in usage stores a restricted set of user activity data ephemerally (lost upon uninstall) in the phone. For subscri…

I love AI assisted learning and code generation - absolutely despise AI “art” though - image, music, written word, video. If AI was just being used to get shit done efficiently, wh…

A lot of us would be happy with them being more heavily taxed on consumption and that money going directly to making everyone’s utility bills much cheaper. Being forced to create m…

It is easier than ever to learn difficult concepts. It is also easier than ever to produce things that used to require understanding of those concepts without them. Discipline and …
