Ah yep! I should’ve given a Go example. In Python we use decorators because it’s what’s in fashion, but in Go and TypeScript you just create a `NewTask()` e.g. where you pass a fun…

As a bit of a counterpoint, I help maintain SDKs for Hatchet in multiple languages (largely Python and TS, but also contribute to Go a bit too) that benefit heavily from generics. …

For what it's worth, Work at a Startup ostensibly does give you something like this on the hiring side, although it's been far from perfect in my experience. I suspect other "platf…

Indeed! Materialized views won't work here as PG doesn't support "always updated" / "auto-refreshing" materialized views natively (although you can get something similar with exten…

+1 to this - I've griped pretty often that FastAPI's documentation implicitly recommends this ( https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/sql-databases/#create-... ) by suggesting usin…

Thanks! I should have clarified - we haven't been using this pattern for selective joins. Strongly agreed that pulling down extra data into memory and then doing the filtering does…

(Matt from Hatchet - Hi Ulysse :wave:) I, at least, don't know of a perfect fix here. Re: the original comment - Postgres will also error on deadlocks after it detects them without…

I was just going to post this, and searched first and landed here. Not much to say beyond that reading this piece made me so happy, and brought back tons of nostalgia for days I'd …

Hello! Hatchet engineer here - just thought I'd drop a link to some discussion on this topic from last year, which is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43574767 Happy to a…

Hey HN! I've been needing to do a better job of staying in touch with the people who are important to me. So I built a little app that lets me add people to call, and tells me when…

I've been using Elixir, which has been wonderful, mostly because of how amazing the built in `Enum` library is for working on lists and maps (since the majority of AoC problems are…

IMO this is very dependent on the risk of cutting once, so to speak. I'd imagine that at PostHog, the idea is there's little risk of cutting many times - iterating - and more damag…

Hey everyone! I've been working on this little app I'm calling Medici after getting annoyed with Splitwise only allowing me to submit a few expenses a day. It has all the main Spli…
