I'll take the 300x slower non-vibe-coded pg, thanks!

If it's good enough to replace plain Software Engineers it's good enough to do DevOps/SRE too. There's no meaningful distinction between those categories in this context.

I don't remember 2001. But 2008 tech job market was way wayyy better than today.

Unfortunately nerds are easy to trick. Good luck convincing any other discipline to do free labour for optional donations, vibes, and "the community".

Can anyone suggest or come up with viable "use cases" of a custom LLM like this? I wouldn't mind giving it a try but ideally I'm looking for something that is not just a toy.

That doesn't justify it because the user should still be able to decide when to initiate it. People are ok with not interrupting the update if they get to choose when it starts.

I find it shocking (not really) that among the many BILLION dollar companies built on the back of Postgres there isn't enough sense to pay the salary of one dude to keep a project …

Site appears to be down intermittently with a Django error If author sees this: Turn off Django debug mode

My observation is that people who love this stuff are not programmers so they feel like they have been empowered to automate things that they could not otherwise automate. For peop…

Unfortunately everything is going in the opposite direction. We are in the age of AI-slop AI-everything AI-break-it AI-fix-it. Software companies are competing with each other on h…

I think it means charging based on the value of the work to the client not just the cost of doing the work. That means if you get fast and efficient at doing something valuable for…

Claude is SOOO powerful and dangerous they just had to shut it down guys :))

Does anyone have solutions or suggestions for mounting a S3 bucket as a read-only filesystem? I don't need any writes. Previously I have done a periodic script that would simply re…

Holy shit I just scrolled through the status sites. Almost every single day is filled with incidents.

It's not clear that it would be a net-negative on the revenue. It could encourage more development and adoption and lead to being a net-positive for the revenue.

I realise that this is not always practical. But generally I refuse to engage or negotiate about the way I work. Especially if you have a lot of experience, you have to push back w…

Can anyone mention how you can "save the state" so it doesn't have to train from scratch on every run?

I don't know but I'm guessing that it's because it makes it easy to give access to it to Mac desktop apps? Not sure what's the VM story with Mac but usually cloud VM stuff is linux…

You have to think about the threat model. The OS itself is rarely a problem. It's all the other stuff around it such as apps, browsers, websites, etc... What is your use case? If y…

Yes! I despise how the open source and free software culture turns into just free labour for freeloading million-dollar and billion-dollar companies. The culture made sense in the …

Not quite what you asked, but here are some thoughts. Do you have the sales "fire power" to sell this solution? Because it sounds like the kind of thing that governments or complic…

His whole "I love fast food and coca cola" thing is a fake persona

Simply speaking "Postgres for everything" is meant as a fool-proof default choice for the average person making an average app. It helps startups avoid tangling themselves with som…

Yes but usually the routing is done as part of a library so the developers are unlikely to interact with the API themselves. It will just affect the internals of their routing libr…
