I like how snappy Ghostty is. I do not like how it starts lagging after a few alt-tabs to Chrome and back on Linux.

They support Passkeys. This is exactly how I continue using them after moving away from Google Workspaces.

It is a nice post. A point of improvement would be to name fields idiomatically. Author should run a few Go linters.

As an asset who successfully infiltrated a rival country's tech company you want deniability. Bringing your own IDE does not look suspicious.

I suggest pushing washing machine metrics to Prometheus, it just asks for it.

Temporal if you do not want vendor locks.

AWS Step Functions or GCP Workflows if you are on the cloud.

I am using Beanstalkd, it is small and fast and you just apt-get it on Debian.

However, I have noticed that oftentimes devs are using queues where Workflow Engines would be a better fit.

If your message processing time is in tens of seconds – talk to your local Workflow Engine professional (:

This is my go-to solution as well. It is great, but utilizes just one CPU core. But if this the problem, then your business is already booming.

I value my own business for freedom, not money.

You don’t have to build a unicorn.

Business has to be sustainable; profit has to be higher than expenses.

DJI is a potential backdoor.

Talking about solutions: Camlink. I use it with a very outdated camera for my online meetings. Works great and gave new life to a camera that I would throw away otherwise.

Being respectful to your SaaS users attention and time proves to be detrimental to your business.

The choice is to be deferential and poor, or bold and reach.

So far I am poor.

They started the development in 2020, so it may still be a blockchain.

Then you should use my https://commercialinvoice.app To generate, you got it, commercial invoices. To have a smooth customs clearance.

When Go eventually lets all this horrible syntax sugar into the standard library, we will meet again in the Zig community.
