The "everything can be done in Postgres" crowd is crazy. It is like a religion at this point.

By the title only, having gold bars is bad? There it goes my plans of buying some.

Time to scan for the current opensource copmmunity projects to migrate. Any recommendations are most welcome.

They are probably adding more trinkets to their shop, so you can buy them.

It started well, though. It was an analytics tool with a developer-oriented mind; it was refreshing compared to the competition. But all good things do seem to come to an end, espe…

Calm down, GA4/Amplitude/Mixpanel.

PostHog was wonderful as an analytics solution, with its developer-first approach, good tools, and nice pricing. At this point, I lost count of how many times in the last two decad…

And the one I love the most.

> What a nostalgic classic.

This one has yet to enter my head. I read Martin Fowler's related article* a few times, and it is sound... But I still can't see microservices being so "complex" to be so avoided e…

Coupling is evil, as it is the main root of all the nastiest problems I have found in many projects I worked on. It is the main cause of "throw it all away and start greenfield" in…

To be honest, "It depends" is also exhausting. I have some defaults that I push until the breaking point, though I apply this more often on personal projects. DDD is an exception, …

We need to consider new benchmarks for AI, where we compare them by their capabilities of knowing who is dead.

Given how chaotic the world of data analytics is (or logs... Or error tracking...), I imagine how this could be a better source of context without hallucinations...

I'm old generation and almost forgot for a while. GitHub was good even on their hands at the beginning, C# is amazing, TypeScript is amazing, wsl2 is game changer (which includes t…

I disagree. Diagrams are a type of visual communication, and not everyone is good at translating things to visual. I open an excalidraw with clear concepts in my head, but nothing …

I'm out of the loop. Do you guys use Claude subscriptions for Claude Code rather than just pay-as-you-go API keys? Is it cost related?

It is not the making of the diagram that is the problem, but often the fact I have no idea how to put it visually. AI is awesome at this. Now, does that justify the harm? Not for m…

Well, out of all the workflows I have seen, this one is rather nice, might give it a try. I imagine if the context were being commited and kept up-to-date with CI would work for ot…

Are we still complaining about Tailwind? This ship has sailed. The world is so much better than the old BEM/LESS hell, it is wonderful. UnoCSS is even greater in empowering fronten…

And my ax... Oh, this is hackernews.

> Tailwind or any other CSS-in-JS system is not the recommended way to implement styling I see, I'm not the target audience here, I can't see myself going back to the old ways. But…

I use ChatGPT mostly for translation. It is amazing what it can do from Chinese to English. Sentences actually make sense and consider context. What are the most popular usages for…

I'm not sure what you mean. Vue 3 is very healthy and alive, and so is Evan.
