Really love this approach. And I’m all in for making websockets cheaper and less painful.

Fun! I was just reading about the star tracker in "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed". Really fascinating when you're thinking about how this all happened in t…

Running the same codebase for 10+ years with a small team is what finally made me fully internalize these rules. I've always been a KISS/DRY person but over a decade there are plen…

I'm working on Chief [1], a CLI that autonomously works through a PRD using AI coding agents like Claude Code. You write user stories, start it up, and it loops through them one at…

Isn't it nice to have just a little bit of an illustration instead of just text? Obviously an AI-generated image is going to spit out some nonsense text as part of the graphic, but…

I would love do a more in-depth talk about this at some point with some more concrete examples.

Not at this time. Some simple heuristics go a long way and also makes it very easy to test and debug the logic.

Really excited for this! Had the opportunity to take part in early access over the last few weeks and the deployment process has been super smooth and insanely fast. I'm mostly jus…

What is uv?

Our timezone and Highway data is OSM-based, but that's pretty much it. Many of our address sources come from the OpenAddresses project: https://github.com/openaddresses/openaddress…

Oh wow. This reminds me of Netlify pre-funding. All the at down to the on the landing page
