TIL: www.sqlite.org/nulinstr.html

Hot take 🌶️

The more I deal with SQLite the more I'm astounded it became such a tech darling given its many surprising quirks.

MySQL has been flamed to death for this sort of stuff, and still has poor reputation a decade after most of them have been fixed.

Trix has been extracted to a new gem: action_text-trix. This is handy because you can update the JS and CSS independently from Rails now.

How to use action_text-trix with Rails (Example) - GoRails

Rails now ships the Trix editor as a separate gem (action_text-trix) instead of being included in ActionText. This allows for separate releases independently of Rails.

Is there a single "dev tools"/infra product that does usage based pricing that doesn't feel like they're absolutely rinsing you? lol

hard not to feel like this is just a massive wealth transfer from pension funds -> VCs -> to datadog and co at this point.

I'm writing a newsletter about why you should probably be running bigger pods for your webservice than you currently are today. Based on my outline, what questions do you have or what about pod sizing is confusing to you today?
