    Did this about a year ago, went smoother than expected tbh. the main gotcha for us was DO's managed postgres — had to dump/restore manually since there's no direct migration path t…

    Just lost an hour going through this. Found a Nirvana show from 1989 at Dreamerz. The recording quality is surprisingly decent for a cassette tape. This is exactly the kind of thin…

    Pieter Levels is the obvious one. Not really a neat polished “blog”, more like watching someone ship in public for years. Josh Pigford / Baremetrics had some good posts too. And th…
