SlateDB has transactions. A year in the making. Lots of testing to do, but the APIs are there. This was all @flaneur2024.bsky.social. 🙏 I am very excited about this feature.

I am kinda feeling like durable execution is going to be a very boring thing that's tablestakes at some point in the next N years (where N < 5).

I'm interested in hiring an "SEO consultant" to come in, evaluate our SEO posture and make a list of recommendations for what to improve next. Got anyone to recommend?

"The number one advice I give here is to avoid looking for career devrel people. It is so much better to hire people in your actual developer community who have been doing the actual work of developers, but that show the signs of a promising devrel talent."

Should be ok now.

thanks, that detail was helpful in narrowing down the cause. two servers did have outdated post data in memory. this does not affect list inputs, because they always fetch fresh posts from the database.

so should be fixed now, but I'm still monitoring if maybe the cache proxy is also causing issues

I get pinged quite frequently about all skyfeed feeds having issues, but then I go online, check a few feeds and everything seems to be fine. however despite this being the case, there has been a concerning amount of pings the past few days, so I assume that maybe one of the servers is broken.

I'm struggling to get why temporal is popular with AI. I get that workflows are useful, but does durability really matter for these use cases?

:) To be fair, they discuss security briefly in the paper. Not sure though what to think about a central repository of decoders if the goal is to make documents self-descriptive.

🤔

Chris @chris.blue · 7d

Agreed. That's what I was thinking. But it seems like a lot of the DE companies are focusing on LLM calls and agents. I feel like building an MCP server toolkit on top of DE that facilitates elicitation, the (forthcoming) async calls, etc would be so cool. Most MCP servers only provide basic tools.😞
