It’s a very good post — and I do agree with the main ideas. It’s pretty remarkable how good writers like Scott Alexander and others are able to consistently pump out good writing, …

Thanks for this! I had been meaning to mark a phantom notification as read — and this snippet came in handy.

We’ve similarly had a lot of success with self-hosting Windmill.

Super insightful. I hadn’t been able to articulate the same feelings. Even as Next seppukus itself, people will likely just fall back to React on Vite… This is my exact read on the…

This is really well done!

I tried Deno for awhile — the ability to run Jupyter notebooks was a cool idea — but I’ve been Bun-only for around a year now. It’s just significantly faster and easier to use.

Congrats, Tom!

I’ve been primarily a Python developer since 2012 and recently switched to uv. The ability to manage dependencies, venv, and multiple Python versions makes it best-in-class now. It…

As someone coming from the Python data science / Jupyter side: holy crap this is lightning fast. Kudos! Very impressive work.

An insightful comment! Had never drawn those parallels before -- great call.

Holy crap, that Mac OS 9 one is fantastic!!!

Examine.com does something similar for health related studies, and I've found it valuable in the past.

Note: I haven’t worked with PDF bank statements. My current solution is pdfplumber → GPT-3 API. I played around with a few different options, and this is personally what’s worked b…

Interesting read! Crazy that it was basically 3x increase/decrease in productive hours. Wouldn't try this myself, but found it interesting nonetheless @sberens.

Huge fan of Streamlit — I've used it a ton at work — and HTMX + Django is my preferred method for building larger sites. Cool work!

I was similarly going to recommend HTMX — think the ease-of-use and beginner-friendliness is exactly what OP is looking for. (The Rails comment mentioning Turbo is basically the sa…

Garry Tan has the best career advice: https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1377661970178973696 My best career advice: at every job you should either learn or earn. Either is fine. B…

Great article, Marius! I can absolutely relate to this.

Great work on this — love the website demo!

Very cool! Great story.

This is actually an excellent explanation that I’d never thought through before. Totally makes sense. Rarely would you see “the whole” of your whole Dunbar group + a few hundred mo…

Mochi is great!
