    HTAP is here! It seems like these hybrid databases are slowly gaining adoption which is really cool to see. The most interesting part of this is the improvements to transaction han…

    It's very powerful to have ownership over a framework that many developers are familiar and like! It might not be clear just yet what the path to monetization looks like but an eas…

    Astro is my favorite framework for static sites. It's hard to describe but it just "makes sense". You don't need complex build setups and you can get the best of all worlds with gr…

    Usually there are nuggets of wisdom in lists shared like this but I feel like every lesson shared here has immense value. > "remain skeptical of your own certainty" > "Model curios…

    It seems like this might be one of the biggest vulnerabilities in recent times... The default react / nextjs configurations being vulnerable to RCE is pretty insane. I think platfo…

    if it increases topline metrics like watch time it's probably hard for them to justify removing it. a change this big seems like it was probably a/b tested and did move metrics sig…

    pretty interesting how datadog's uptime tracker ( https://updog.ai/ ) says all the sites are fully available. if that's true then it's a sign that Azure's control / data plane sepa…

    I think reve ( https://reve.com ) should be in the running and would be very curious to see the results!

    always wondered at what scale gossip / SWIM breaks down and you need a hierarchy / partitioning. fly's use of corrosion seems to imply it's good enough for a single region which is…

    in the super public consumer space, search engines / answer engines (like chatgpt) are the big ones. on the other hand it's also led to improvements in many places hidden behind th…

    I think the conclusion isn't as simple as "foundation model companies will just build the features of all downstream products" because focus and priorities play a big part. If that…

    Honestly this is a super respectable culture. I would think many leaders want to build teams with this mindset but find it incredibly difficult for one reason or another

    This seems like a similar and more feature complete / polished version of JSON RPC? The part that's most exciting to me is actually the bidirectional calling. Having set this up be…

    This metric is typically tracked internally and probably wouldn't be as public because it could indicate how "buggy" a product is. An easy way to measure this is time spent taking …

    This is awesome! It seems to line up with the idea of agentic exploration versus RAG which I think Anthropic leans on the agentic exploration side of. It will be very interesting t…
