On @Jeopardy yesterday, the students all failed to answer the most important question in the history of the show. HT @butro for video!

I'll be sharing our new VEMPIC fluid simulator at SIGGRAPH 2022! Learn how the Virtual Element Method, Cut-Cell Meshes, and Particle-in-Cell fluid simulation naturally complement one another! Project: dgp.toronto.edu/projects/vempi… Video: youtu.be/V8Hlt66qrys

Sometimes San Francisco hits just right.

What comes after a strawman solution? Woodman? Ironman? Can we define a solution strength continuum?


Very cool that our 1M LOC TS migration at @airtable inspired an even larger 3.5M LOC TS migration at @stripe! Congrats to the team at Stripe for pulling this off.


Has anyone measured the availability of us-east-1 vs. other AWS regions? I have a hypothesis that it's significant (like 99.9% vs. 99.99% uptime), making *not* being based in us-east-1 a competitive advantage for startups.

Excited and honored to be speaking at Have You Tried Rubbing a Database on It? I'll talk about why @airtable is easy to learn and hard to outgrow. Tickets here: hytradboi.com @hytradboi


Kudos to @cronitorio for a simple product that just works. I needed failure notifications for some cronjobs running on my rPi, and with Cronitor, I was up and running in 15 minutes. Love it!


We like to ship. Incredible work by the Interface Designer team @airtable!

📢 Today we're thrilled to announce Interface Designer: Our new offering to create complete and customized applications with Airtable. Get the details here 👉 blog.airtable.com/introducing-in… and watch this space for more info and resources to come!



This thread is exactly the value proposition of @airtable. You want a low-code application platform, not a spreadsheet.

“$SAAS could be replaced with a spreadsheet” is something I have seen a few times. I think it misunderstands how users use software, how businesses run processes, and how SaaS products are built.



I gave a talk at @anyscalecompute about a topic near and dear to my heart: software testing, and how a good test suite is a developer's best friend. Thanks @oldcap for hosting me! slideshare.net/AndrewWang41/s…
