Nice! I was just minutes ago writing a very similar pattern with zod and GPT. Thanks for validating my approach :)

Mixpanel employee here, I actually just emailed Jitsu this morning to ask about adding Mixpanel as a destination. We're willing to work with them (or any of you!) to get the PR ope…

I believe their value lies in their e-commerce partnerships. You can effectively check out (almost) as seamlessly as a using a credit card on partner sites. I used Klarna when I bo…

I believe tech is still largely a meritocracy. If you think you should be paid more than someone, you should prove it with impact. If the goal of your education was compensation an…

This is a concern with monorepo but you can still enforce the boundaries programmatically. For example you can add some simple, custom lint rules that prevent cross-boundary import…

We have been using a small bit of glue code to write Web Components declaratively with Snabbdom for a couple of years at Mixpanel: https://github.com/mixpanel/panel . Happy to talk…

Just curious, what are the reasons to be on "a bunch of metrics platforms"? Specifically, what are the various problems you were trying solve with different tools?

It's funny to me how many people are outraged at Facebook's focus on data collection and privacy "invasion" for the sake of monetization. Every company is using whatever data they …

We've been using Web Components + Virtual DOM to build our web apps for the last year at Mixpanel: https://github.com/mixpanel/panel . The biggest issues have been dealing with pol…

I'm pretty sure that the concept (or implementation) of virtual dom wasn't invented as a part of React. IANAL but I don't think they could patent it. Ignoring specific optimization…

One of my primary goals this year is to become excellent at interviewing. As an Engineering Manager, I do a number of interviews per week but I don't feel like I'm very good at it.…

It's just personal preference. I really dislike the lyft product because I don't want the driver to treat me like I'm his friend (fist bumping and what not). It feels fake, forced,…

I think iterating quickly is great for product decisions where you don't know how people will react. Technical decisions, however, can be objectively evaluated up front given the r…

Loose coupling is awesome and dogfooding your public API is smart as well. However, it seems like there is a lack of strong technical leadership and a lot of big decisions are bein…

One of the biggest shocks to me when moving to the Bay Area is the difference in social norms and acceptable behavior. I grew up in Texas and went to college on the east coast. For…

This response is touching, sad, but somehow beautiful as well: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2013Jan/0022.htm...

Although I'm happy to see someone attempt to do what Simple is attempting to do, I don't think any sizable amount of people will be willing to drop their bank and move to an altern…

There is certainly a line that can be crossed when it comes to over thinking OO. However, Dependency Injection enables you to write much more testable code where in many cases peop…

For what Twitter is today, I'm sure they are. They are essentially the world's largest chat room except every participant gets to curate their own experience (plus it's all indexed…
