Knee jerk reaction be like... no freaking way!! Don't you dare @rauchg! 🧐 Then realize... oh! I got fast deployments, instant roll backs and feature flags with Edge Config! 🧘♀️
The importance of effective, powerful open source models you can own and operate has never been greater.

I love that while the 10x programmer is still a controversial concept to some in the tech world, Steve Jobs went straight for the claim that 50-100x programmers are possible.
If you don't think 10x engineers exist, why isn't your hiring process just a lottery?
This depends on scale. Early stage, optimizing for iteration speed is better. I like React Server Components so I guess I write them one layer closer to the client 😬. Further optimizations can be done after. Separation of concerns is a bad thing very early, most likely…
I know the conflict is more complex than this and has long history. However, what happened in Israel cannot be described in any other way than modern barbarians killing helpless innocent people PERIOD 😡
One of Y Combinator's most important traditions is conciseness. There is so much vague blather in business. It wastes people's time and, worse still, is a sign of unclear thinking.
Nice! 👀 I am always the emoji person. Every time I go to the Slack admin UI I am surprised by the amount of custom emojis I have uploaded! 😅 🤷♀️
Many programming practices have a sweet spot. No types vs 100% perfect types. No tests vs 100% code coverage. No pair programming vs 100% pair programming. No code reviews vs mandatory reviews by every team member. There’s often wisdom in between. Look for the sweet spot.
Go devs will go to therapy instead of using folders.
This is what happens when your platform does not have a good standard lib! 🤪 Learning: Taking into account the JS audience, it should have had a much more robust std lib.
The JS ecosystem: There's an npm package named is-even that gets a million downloads per month. It exports a single-line function, isEven, and depends on yet another package, is-odd, which depends on is-number. Since they don't provide types, there's a @types package for each.
lol
More than 70x speed up! Nice! 🤯
Just did a quick test of Bun 1.0 on Create T3 App vs pnpm pnpm: 27.23s Bun: 0.35s 🤯
removing types from your own code is clownish, epically misguided behaviour, but whatever — to each their own. removing types from a library THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO USE, however, is just user-hostile dickwaddery
"So farewell, TypeScript. May you bring much rigor and satisfaction to your tribe while letting the rest of us enjoy JavaScript in the glorious spirit it was originally designed: Free of strong typing." world.hey.com/dhh/turbo-8-is…
Best take on Scrum ever!
Scrum is a cancer. I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does. Some anecdotes: 1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game. 2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not…
alright let's to put the roll your own auth convo to bed, i'm tired of it i don't use an auth service, but i can make a case as to why you should consider it and why i don't auth is the most undifferentiated part of your application, there's no need to innovate here, and most…
as const fixes everything. Making a custom hook that returns a tuple? You've probably hit this weird error before. This is happening because TypeScript thinks your hook returns an array, not a tuple. So, add an 'as const' to make it infer properly. Is there anything 'as…
undervalued fact for society is that when a COSS company fails, the asset lives on, likely managed in a foundation when a SaaS company fails, everybody loses and the assets either get destroyed or sold off in a firesale for pennys to the dollar
