This is hilarious.
dd() is so old school. I’m going to change it to 💩()!

You basically start with “let’s figure this out” and then say “ok go”?
Is that how you’re using it?

At one point it was definitely usage, not deposit.
But you couldn’t use much because it was rate limited.
Maybe they’ve changed that now!

None of it makes sense. I had to throttle a client project with a new account for a *while* until we proved to them we were real.
I wish you could just deposit $500 and jump tiers.

It took me a long time to understand that the central hallway constrains what kind of apartment can be built.
But take the hallway out and it’s a lot easier to make apartments that have sensible floor plans.
Great article!

Ooooh it’s not an e-bike. That makes more sense. Still incredible. But my area is sufficiently hilly and hot that an e-bike is important.

Including “ask further questions if needed” sometimes helps that.
But the sinking feeling that it’s not going to be able to figure out the task is so irritating, for sure.

The weight is incredible. My long tail cargo bike is almost twice as heavy.

Don’t forget strawberry rhubarb soda! We made some last week and it’s delicious

We bought a Prius Prime a few weeks ago and it is all of those and…
(4) it’s so niche it was almost impossible to source one in my state.

And I know I shouldn’t spend a month trying to save $15 by reinventing a worse version of Lambda… but I’m an engineer dammit 😂

That’s pretty cool.
I’ve had a dream of running my local machine as a supplemental server for intense tasks.
After all, 32gb of RAM is mostly sitting idle a lot of the time.
If the local machine could connect to the remote and process workloads, it could save $$.

“As long as it’s 25 years old”
So common sense has prevailed…sort of. 😂
I love Kei trucks…they’re such cool machines.

This is really cool! I think I get it technically, but just to make sure…
You’re thinking about using Reverb for tunneling remote requests down to the local machine for testing, yea? Any other use cases you’ve looked at?

What would you do differently?

I’d say it’s 75% of its peak.
Nowhere near as exciting as Twitter in 2010, but still better than present alternatives.

I used Ray for two years and switched back to Alfred. It (ray) just never felt totally comfortable to me.

I wonder what technology, today, would get muted applause but turn out to be critically important.
Maybe none.
Maybe embeddings?

Ripples are a good way to describe this.
I think this is a problem with government polarization. In a more unified context, the government can manufacture pretty big ripples that are sometimes fairly positive.
But we can’t seem to find that unity outside of a crisis.

“Is Russia interested in this app for calculating fertilizer for farmers?” “Nah”
In all seriousness, I’d love to know what threat modeling actually is

That’s remarkable man…congrats to you and the team! Huge win for the ecosystem, too.

That’s interesting.
I’m part-Norwegian and part-Swedish but I’ve only spent time in Sweden. I didn’t realize Norway had a different culture on public advertisement.
I hope to get to Norway soon!

OSS-themed ceramic fundraisers is the crossover event I didnt know I needed. That sounds so cool!
Handmade pottery is incredible. It’s on my list when the kids aren’t small

Fascinating. Thanks!
I was late on Tailwind too, and now it’s hard to imagine CSS without it. Maybe I’ll convert to React in 2026.
TBH, I guessed that Angular 2 would beat React back in the day. And yea…got that wrong.

I’ve been a web dev since 2008 but know nothing about react.
I feel like the JSX syntax is awkward.
What do you enjoy about React that makes JSX worth it? Or do you reject the premise and JSX is actually really elegant and I’m just wrong. 😂

Very cool! I tried it a while ago but didn’t feel like I was making progress.

How much progress do you feel like you’ve made through duo?
