To be fair this is useful for discovering bluesky from screenshots getting posted on other platforms.

Their product UI kind of looks like X, so it's helpful to know the source of a post

We 3×'d PRs in 6 months, and how you can too

The irony of this article is that it reads with the annoying robotic cadence that makes me not want to read slop blogs

Sentences like "The licensing paradox: From freedom to exploitation" are starting to burn my eyes

Super impressive! Remember talking with Michael about his experience with Citus at Heap and reading his blog posts on Postgres

Super cool to see him working on this now, almost 10 years later

New comment by 0xferruccio in "DuckDB Internals: Why Is DuckDB Fast? (Part 1)"

0xferruccio — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 20:25:06 +0000

We have a hook that runs on session start and session end that sends data to a lambda with a hard coded JWT token that we ship in the code

We added that to the managed settings for our Claude instance as a “base” plugin and provision it to all machines using JAMF

A non-enterprises version of that would be to add this hook in your main repository’s .claude folder

DuckDB is amazing for any sort of fast data analysis when the data is small enough that it can fit on your laptop

Recently at work I've been using it to analyse the Claude code sessions of every engineer at our company (that we upload to S3) and it's been extremely helpful to help us find gaps in devex and have clear metrics to back up the impact of fixing them

Another thing it's been really useful for has been getting metrics on Claude skills usage and then dive into use-cases by looking at the transcripts

Other engineers that had never touched DuckDB were so impressed with how easy it is for AI agents to write queries on our dataset

Congrats on the launch, this looks very promising. I hadn't seen any installation that uses a URL to point to a skill, seems like an evolution of wizard scripts

That been said for more complex setups like on kubernetes where you need a collector and an operator I found OTEL to be super painful to setup a couple of years ago. Has it gotten any easier now?

Incredibly well done by Neal as usual!! Always has new fun experiments that are always completely new concepts

Great article as usual, got a flashback to reading your first post on here 8 years ago. At the time I was starting my career in tech by building small projects for fun and launching them on Product Hunt. Great to see you’re still going at it!

At Amplitude we built Moda which is super similar to this.

Our chief engineer Wade gave an awesome demo to Claire Vo some months back here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q9Yrj2RTkg

I use this basically every day asking all sorts of questions

To be fair I remember spending almost two weeks implementing OTel at my startup, the infrastructure as code setup of getting collectors running within a kubernetes cluster using terraform was a nightmare two years ago.

I just kept running into issues, the docs were really poor and the configuration had endless options

some of the design interactions are really polished. the section written with the quotes from founders is really cool. the hover effect with the before and after of the YC partners is a great touch too!

0xferruccio — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 19:52:11 +0000

to be fair at least half of the software engineers i know are facing some level of existential crisis when seeing how well claude code works, and what it means for their job in the long term

and these are people are not junior developers working on trivial apps

New comment by 0xferruccio in "Superhuman AI Exfiltrates Emails"

The primary exfiltration vector for LLMs is making network requests via images with sensitive data as parameters.

As Claude Code increasingly uses browser tools, we may need to move away from .env files to something encrypted, kind of like rails credentials, but without the secret key in the .env
