I’m sure the market is less interested in that number in isolation, and how that number compares to growth in other cloud platforms like Azure and AWS during the AI times

I want to vomit reading that.

What does this open source that the Codex harness hasn't already?

It’s had horrific uptime, to the point of hitting 88.x uptime percentage.

This is likely on the back of Mitchell Hashimoto (Hashicorp founder) announcing he’s moving off of Github as well.

And really just years of Github feeling inconsistent, bad UX, no good solutions for open source developers in terms of AI spam etc.

Yeah, I had this happen the other day with their Moltworker.

Another one of their products which was “just an experiment”

Cloudflare annoys me as a company.

I wonder if anyone from HN would be willing to input their opinion into some features I'm building, which is really outputting LLM generated writing.

It's basically automating release notes and sprint summary's from existing systems like Jira and Linear. The target user is a product team, the target reader are business stakeholders who want to validate your existence. I've found this process to be stupidly time consuming for both our delivery manager, and whichever Dev they decide to tap on the shoulder to help contextualize tickets.

I feel like LLM's are a really good _summarizer_ and it can easily highlight if your tickets don't have enough context for actual people, if even an LLM can't write a summary with good enough context.

Idk, maybe it's a sensible usecase because you REALLY don't want novel ideas from the LLM in this case. You want it to tell you 1:1 what you did this sprint based on a list of issues.

Interesting... I built an MCP server for their initial browser render as markdown, and I just tell the LLM to follow reasonable links to relative content, and recurse the tool.

I notice that PlanetScale has a Developer Educator position available. Has anyone sent that to Aaron Francis yet? He might be interested.

This is really good!

After they ditched there free tier, it became basically untenable to justify trying Planetscale for $30 (USD as well) on a POC or MVP product, and it also felt like you were paying a lot for unneeded hardware.

I went backpacking last year for only a little over a month. Absolute pain in my chest when someone who I'd gotten to known over the past few days said it was their last day lol.

I see this quite a lot via Copilot using Claude. It'll just get stuck on a token for a while.

It's not that it's going down, the article suggests that it slows.

If I lose 20 kilo's, my "biological age" might go down 2 years, but that doesn't mean it's "slowed"

I despise working with Nuget. Whether it's a restore, managing your csproj, or publishing packages, compared to NPM it's an absolute mess.

I think about it like this...

Fundamentally, I believe it's how they want to be treated culturally, but in our society, we tie gender and sex so closely together, that to be treated the way you want to be treated culturally in society, you need to change some of the sex based features you have.

In a better society, a medical approach wouldn't be needed. In our society, we _should_ accept that it is.

That's my opinion, and it's a pretty weakly held opinion, someone could dissuade me from it.

Validation tools will also tell you if you have an H1 in a

Frankly bundlephobia gives me more information that I care about... "How much is the end user going to have to download, parse and execute".

They says sponsored by Vercel and Upstash, but in the repo, it just says hosting and database "sponsored" by them. Are they just using the free tier???
