How is the postgres ecosystem at stating when these kinds of things are ready for adoption? I can think of a usecase at work where this might be useful, but hesitant to just start throwing random opensource extensions at our monolith DB.

In what way is this a format or standard? It's just markdown in a namespce

Given Github's critical role in software engineering delivery, their SLA commitments are really quite poor, perhaps unacceptable.

Love UV!

Also love Ruff from the Astral team. We just cut our linting + formatting across from pylint + Black to Ruff.

Saw lint times drop from 90 seconds to < 1.5 seconds. crazy stuff.

I think if you ever have highly dynamic infrastructure requirements -- think along the lines of a control plane that's spinning up additional workers -- it's really helpful to be able to run your infra provisioning logic locally. There's nothing worse than having to wait on cloud builds to test your iterations.

Migrated from Skaffold to Tilt at my last co, found it was much more easier to configure granular rebuild rules, which lead to faster dev loop cycles

Love tilt, have found it much more difficult to set up in a docker-compose environment than a cloud native / minikube context

Nick Lane covers this a little in the third chapter of his book Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution. It might not be talking about the specific process OP was talking about but rather the Z Scheme of Photosynthesis

Snarky and not answering the question, well done.

Bit of a noob question here. What's an archiver for?

Is it a library for things you've watched and want to store outside of youtube? Or is this for storing content you've created / managing your own portfolio of content?
