Classic AI generated frontend … very poor contrast

I recently had a unique index failure on PostgreSQL. To be clear it wasn't Postgres' fault - it was mine. Thankfully it reared it's head on Staging not Live, but here's something o…

I'm using 16b55183-1697-496e-bc8a-854eb9aae0f3 and probably some more too. I suppose if we all post our list here, then we can all check for duplicates?

If you replaced k8s with a single app on a single VM then you’ve taken a hype fuelled circuitous route to where you should have been anyway.

Parents (myself included) have an impossible task of regulating access to technology for their children. Societal norms are not aligned with what these educators are saying. I and …

I want to work at a company where they replace morning stand ups with a farcical aquatic ceremony

Your project looks great. Have you looked at the "services" route? Instead of companies or individuals paying you to build your software, that they may find useful, (and some compa…

The "bait and switch" argument is based on the assumption that it was their strategy from day one? I think the company has evolved around the orignal code and they'd like it to be …

So much whining here. You have absolute freedom in truly open source software at the point of any particular release. So, you have the freedom to fork or self-build/host at discret…

Anybody work out how to get audio from the 5?

Exactly. How many people could this support? My guess it would be a small proportion of an urban population. > no active refreshing/polling Maybe not twitter specifically, but the …

Instead of a trivial use-case of existing technology it would be far more beneficial to model (1) RF subscriber characteristics and how an unmanaged network of point-to-point devic…

Paddle don't list their prices. My rule of thumbs is: If SW companies don't list their prices it's probably too expensive for me. This proves correct for me more often than not, so…

Interesting how you broadcast on your blog that "it’s extremely unlikely that you’ll ever need a backup". Have you ever had to look a parent in the eye and say, "I'm sorry all your…
