I use htmx not because it's the best, but because the developer is pleasantly unhinged.


If your dev team needs someone else to test their code, you’re ngmi


Is anyone building an AI native ERP yet?

in engineering, the lowest performers tend to talk the most. compensation and progression is largely broken because non technical folks are put in charge to measure the growth of engineers they don’t understand. it’s simple, engineer are doing well if they’re able to: -…

He was worse at coding. Better at politics.

I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.

He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".

Reminds me of what it’s like building a B2B SaaS

It’s so damn refreshing having a coach that’s giving us Real, honest answers instead of scripted coach speak. I trust what he’s trying to build here



Some of the best developers I’ve worked with never went to college and some of the worst developers I’ve worked with were comp sci majors

The majestic monolith remains undefeated for the vast majority of web apps. Replacing method calls with network calls makes everything harder, slower, and more brittle. It should be the absolute last resort. youtube.com/watch?v=rkXGSL…

David Heinemeier Hansson: Microservices vs. Monolith

At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh. They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service…



I wish more people I worked with understood this

3 years ago, we chose a monolith. Today, that monolith: - Runs in a single ASG. - Deploys in 12 minutes. - Is understood by every engineer. - Has a single, fast test suite. - Costs 1/5th what our 'microservice' platform does. We're now building our second product. It's also a…

This whole 996 thing is for kids, why are you taking a day off every week you little bitch?


True leverage comes when engineers are the ones talking to users, grasping the business value, and deciding what solves real problems. Hell, you don’t even need a manger, let alone a scrum master whatever the fuck that’s supposed to be, or someone who’s sole role is to use jira.

I'm sorry but "Project/Product manager" is not a real job. That's the job of the technical lead. What do you mean you get paid for assigning tasks on clickup?

How is hiring software engineers not a solved problem in 2025? It’s only getting worse.


Never use Azure CosmosDB for MongoDB, ever.

This happened to me. Worked at a startup that was acquired by Amex, they brought in FAANG engs, pushed microservices, made us unprofitable then Amex sold it off to Incomm.

the real cost of faang influence on software engineering



Exactly. This is something that Architecture Astronauts will never understand.

once worked at a fintech absolutely crushing revenue we brought in a new architect and collectively spent $10's of millions converting monolith to event driven microservices we added absolutely zero to the revenue or performance, but man was it decoupled

you’ll sit at your desk, talk through an idea with an AI partner, and watch it start building in real time. you’ll describe a feature and see it appear. you’ll explain a workflow and the system will connect the apis. it'll refactor your code for performance, rewrite ux copy…

Codex is so good, and is going to get so amazing. I am having a hard time imagining what creating software at the end of 2026 is going to look like.



Enterprise B2B SaaS is not for the faint of heart
