Waymo is peak American innovation. With way less money they could have built a reliable public transport network, but instead someone was like "what if we could find a way for empty vehicles to contribute to traffic too? There's no reason we can't have more cars on the road than there are drivers"

We need a new way to receive receipts and transactional messages from companies that isn’t email OR we need companies to stop using email for endless marketing campaigns. I gave you my email, not my permission to email me constantly.

The productivity paradox of the engineering team that uses AI tools like Cursor, Devin et al is that on the surface, more = good. In practice, more can mean less focus. Looking like progress doesn’t mean progress. Focus is THE secret sauce of amazing teams. Tools just help them along.

My favourite seat on the tube is the ones you kind of stand up to use near the back of the carriage. Headphones are essential though as it is deafenly loud otherwise.

@chris.blue I’m thinking about starting a ”awesome-object-storage” repo on GitHub, but as you seem to be an authority on the matter of all new and amazing projects in this space I wanted to check with you first 😅

Prefixing you're AWS resources with env names? It's time to move your resources into their own accounts. If you want to make your life *a lot* easier, keep your production resources in the existing account, and start different environments e.g stage, dev. Please. Don't make a prod account.

Aside from Retool, are there any other examples of DSL workflows in @temporal.io that I can read about/watch?

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

I keep dreaming about making an ecosystem of data ingestion tooling written in Rust. Think Snowplow but easier to manage and deploy.

What would you use to create a low latency metrics service right now? Think dimension table for sub ms evaluation tasks eg views_last_30 for a user.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

I asked the electrician:
- How bad is the previous installation?
He replied:
- This isn’t that bad, things change over time, things get old. You measure a good implementation on how easy it is to replace. This one is easy to replace.
I love that way of thinking, it relates to programming as well.

First time committing to an OSS project using uv today. I was up and running, with tests in less than 30 seconds. I’d made a pull request in less than 5 minutes.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this productive working in code bases before.

The single leading indicator for success in a system design interview? Curiosity about the problem. Go slow to start and find out what you need to know. There will almost always be a curveball in there you wish you knew up front when it’s too late.
