I would like to hear from others using, for example, Google Spanner, do you have issues with UUID. I don't for now, most optimizations happen at the Controller level, data transformation can be slow due to validations. Try to keep service logic as straightforward as possible.

I was a speaker in a local Supabase event just few weeks ago, https://shorturl.at/JwWMk. We had a local event in Abuja, Nigeria. There we promoted their Launch Week 14 series, highlighting new features from Supabase. In reality, it became an event to show people how to bootstrap a quick backend for their SME business in a weekend.

The disintegration 'VFX scene' in Avengers: Infinity War cost about $1.5 million and took ~6 months to complete. But today, you can recreate that same disintegration effect in minutes—for just $9—using Higgsfield AI.

As soon as you mentioned that you moved to FF, I was expecting you to say that the problem was solved. I've been using it for many years now, it is so smooth that I just take it for granted now.

"...premature optimization is the root of all evil."

Sometimes you just wanna get stuff out there, other times you're winning and you wanna give users the best experience. Many people have had to do both. You start with an ORM, eventually your queries are slow and all, you gradually reap them out. Almost every Engineer I know has had to do that at some POINT. Nonetheless, I am not about writing SQL for a simple barbing saloon booking app that I am not sure anybody will eventually use.

Not sure I care about another SM platform but I was very happy to see a snappy site on a Monday morning. A good reminder to put care in my work this week.

During the weekend, I had to fight the urge not to implement a tiny client for interacting with my bank. A company making loads of profit but can't fix their online banking platform. Every page takes not less than a minute to open. No form of caching user details, API calls are made and take same response time not matter how many times you navigate to a screen.

Thanks for making it authentication-free and free of charge.

I had to do a very simple macOS app for my personal consumption recently and XCode dx is nothing to write home about. The only reason I finished the project there was that I couldn't set up vs code quickly for Swift/Cocoa project. I had to endure the slow compilation time, slow reaction time of the IDE UI. You make a change you keep seeing squiggly lines for a while, it's as though the UI is booting up each time. It was a horrible experience coming from IntelliJ and VS Code daily experience.

Computer is 32Gb Apple M1 Pro. Imagine what will happen on some 8Gb i5 macbook.

I could not find your email in your HN bio. I wonder if you have any public "queue " people can send interesting things they are working on and perhaps seek for guidance/opinion.

Edit: found loads of emails here, http://canonical.org/~kragen/about/ :)

I am a software engineer that mostly sell fullstack skills. After reading your article on the chip that powers Montreal subway, I developed an interest in chip architectures.

I just finished these two books, The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder and Hackers by Steven Levy, they are historical books on computer design.

If you have other good reads that a web dev can use in testing the waters I would appreciate.

I have seen a startup where RabbitMQ was being used to hand-off requests to APIs (services) that take long to respond. I argued for unifying queueing and data persistence technology using Postgres even though I know a simple webhook would suffice.

Given that AWS has to sell and complexity tends to make people look smart, another server was spurn up for RabbitMQ :)

Many companies that have run a highly distributed system have figured what works for them. If requests are within the read and write rates of what Redis or Postgres can handle why introduce RabbitMQ or Kafka :?

Always remember that the Engineer nudging you towards more complexity will not be there when the chips are down.

A new model to look at computers, dumb filing system :)

Cudos! Particularly impressed with the lack of clutter and the speed.

Sure it won't cover the bazillion cases the DBs out there do but that's not what you need. The source code is small enough for any team member to jump in and debug while pushing performance in any direction you want.

Cudos!
