Just installed my plug-and-play panel this week in my small garden. 400W so not enough to power all my appliances. But I'm happy that I'm at least a little hedged against the negat…

Anthropic support is reserved only for famous devs on X with > 100k followers.

How does an LLM approach to OCR compare to say Azure AI Document Intelligence ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document... ) or Google's Vision API ( https://c…

It still worked a few years ago but no longer :( ( http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ )

I feel like all new AI tools only integrate with GitHub though, like Claude Code. We're actually thinking of moving from GitLab to GitHub, just for this reason.

All these tools seem to be GitHub-centric. Any tips for teams using GitLab to store their repositories?

We use it extensively in our codebase. We started without any types, and added Sorbet later. It's similar to Typescript as that you can gradually sparkle your code with types, buil…

Useful resource!

Seems far-fetched. No one is forcing you to buy an S&P 500 fund. And you could have sold your S&P 500 shares the day Tesla entered the index.

"Every industry that has enough political power to utilise the state will seek to control entry." - George Stigler, Nobel prize winner in Economics, and worked extensively on regul…

Agree. I can't stand the coldness of brutalist architecture, it's dystopian. It's disagreeable in summer, let alone on a grey winter day.

For most startups that raise money, tech is hardly a big cost. Most of the money goes towards fueling growth through paid marketing and so on.

We adopted Sorbet for our codebase a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier with that choice. Sure, it's not as powerful as Typescript (e.g. no way to specify a union of c…

I remember visiting this underground city a couple of years back, and thinking, what were these people so scared off in the outside world that led them to build this? It's an incre…

Same. They seem to be one of the few airlines that are well run. Maybe cause the founder is still CEO, I don't know. I also respect their honesty. They tell you "we get you from A …

For sure. As the only developer in the team, it saves me a bunch of devops time that I can instead dedicate on the business, while we're trying to get product-market fit. I'm sure …

What does Render.com do that Heroku doesn't? (seriously asking)

In my current work, which a GraphQL backend API, I've identified only two use cases for unit tests: - complex pure functions. For instance, I have a street address "cleaner". The i…

I think every solo developer should read "The E-Myth Revisited" ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81948.The_E_Myth_Revisit... ). It describes exactly this problem. For your bus…

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't California one of the more progressive states with a stronger social safety net than say Arkansas or Alabama? So isn't that counter to your argument?

I don't think many people want to move to Texas, for instance abortion is illegal in the state. I doubt people want to move back to the 1950s, certainly not startup people, who ten…

It's paradoxical that entrepreneurship is less of a thing in the EU than in the US. After all, Europeans can afford a lot more risk than Americans. There's a strong safety net in t…

Unfortunately that is very impractical. And way too broad of a measure. There are plenty of cloud-based services that have a business model that is based on providing that service …
