Aaron's videos are top-tier. If you're a programmer looking to improve your understanding of how databases work, I highly recommend @aaronfrancis.com and Database School!

Hey friends. I know some of you are thinking about starting a tech/programming/business/interview/hangout podcast this year.

If that's you, we've got a really good sale on right now. 👍
We don't do sales very often, but we're doing a Black Friday sale this year!

If you've been thinking about starting a podcast (or migrating your existing show), you can get 20% off our already-discounted yearly podcast hosting plans.

Ok... and now Github is down (pull/fetch, create PRs etc.).

It's been a crazy day for the internet, I must say.

Got a phone call that I was late for a cold plunge appointment during a livestream with @briancasel.com.

I just... left. Ran off screen with no explanation and left the livestream running for over an hour. 🤣

Sorry everybody! (Sorry Brian!)

Only if they're intentionally trying to find new options.

Doing a livestream in 5 minutes where I try Cursor for the first time, if anyone here wants to join me.

First time using Cursor (AI coding experiment)
I just installed Cursor for the first time. I’m going to see if I can fix a bug that V0 (Vercel’s AI coding platform) hasn’t been able to solve.
