    I agree, same for foreign keys, triggers, higher isolation levels, the list goes on

    DSQL looks like a Big Deal to me - solving the essential scaling bottleneck that relational DBs give you without ending up with a weird system like dynamodb that no one wants to us…

    Please go on. I also feel like asyncio is a big hack. Even just accidentally blocking the event loop is way too easy. And I couldn't believe it when I read that you need to store a…

    My advice: - Don't use long-running transactions. They are a risk for db health. Only use transaction when you have a strong justification - Set idle_in_transaction_session_timeout…

    Thanks for the link. As a longtime listener, listening to Bob Garfield's voice brought a tear to my eye - I'm a big fan and was sad when he left OTM, as much as I admire Brooke.

    Sometimes TCP/IP is a leaky abstraction, and recently ipv6 peeked through in two separate instances: - In a cafe wifi, I had partial connectivity. For some reason my wifi interface…

    I don't think I get notified but maybe it's because my replies are unpopular

    I agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me

    This was pre-Anthropic but the fact that Bun automatically loads .env files if they're present almost disqualifies it from most tasks https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/23967 It…

    This sentence doesn't include examples of the passive voice.

    You're right about process.argv - wow, that looks like a maintenance and testability nightmare.

    useCanUseTool.tsx looks special, maybe it'scodegen'ed or copy 'n pasted? `_c` as an import name, no comments, use of promises instead of async function. Or maybe it's just bad vibi…

    OMG that looks amazing. As a Clojure acolyte of 10+ years, I can't wait to see this.

    This looks like a useful set of guidelines. I see the most value in reducing the bikeshedding which invariably happens when designing an API. I wonder if anyone is using AEP and ca…

    I'm a big Rich Hickey fan. He's a big user of a (to me) peculiar variant of the phrase, "it ends up": a total of 144 times in https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts It also …

    Literally every interview I've done recently has included the question: "What's your stance on AI coding tools?" And there's clearly a right and wrong answer.

    Nice write-up, thanks for sharing. How does your hand-vibed python program compare to frameworks like pipecat or livekit agents? Both are also written in python.
