hot take: this is not any better than getServerSideProps

direct db access in server components is great dx for hacky starters and then you’ll want to undo it more and more as your app grows and needs o11y/security/auth/caching etc

theres one killer app for RSCs - reducing js bundles. stick to that

i’m very sorry to my liberal friends here. i think theres a lot of reform to be done within your party and more broadly more connection rather than antagonism with the >50% of the country you profoundly disagree with. i dont get a vote but i feel for you tonight.

in my 20s i had a female friend where we were not romantically involved in but somehow got in the zone that we could text each other the most unhinged flirts and abuses and it would not be taken seriously and i miss that so much

reason people are unhappy w 3.5 Haiku's price: even if if were the same Elo as 3 Opus, it is still about 100 points dumber than it needs to be to be relevant, at this price.
November 4, 2024 at 8:26 PM
Looots of blowback on 3.5 Haiku's 4x price increase decision today, esp as 3.5 Haiku does not come with image input support. a rare miss from anthropic.

it saddens me greatly that i love kids and family and may never experience this. a joy i can’t feel is a loss i cant even comprehend i have. and that somehow makes it infinitely sadder.
