How big of a client is Fiverr? Surely Cloudinary would have alerts for an enterprise client leaking stuff?

Just insane

> You are the sole responsible for what tools use.

Sure, but now competitors are shipping like crazy (at their EM's sanity expense?). What to do?

> AI is voluntary

Until the company mandate. And also there 10 other EMs that I am competing with on my org tree alone, and their teams are all AI-heavy. Is that really a matter of choice?

You can set it up with docker compose and put the container on the same network of your dev env, and you are good to go.

What I'd really like is an image that mirrors extensions available on AWS Aurora. Supabase's is the only that has some parity as far as I know

Why not create your own? This is as wild as open-source expectations of a speedy implementation, addressing issues quickly, etc. Folks always want more and more.

Damn, those are some 10k loc sql files, 3k+ pull requests. Talk about battle-tested.

Hopefully this grows to be postgres equivalent

I worked at a media company that used to track time the users spent watching TV, so they could charge advertisers accordingly. "Hundred million watched the Super Bowl", things like that.

The way they measured that was by having devices installed on peoples homes, that tracked TV usage, and all of it was planned around demographics as well. People would get a few bucks for having the device installed. But hey, if you wanted to measure the top 1% of income, what would you do? A few bucks meanth nothing, so it was always in terms of 'favors' and 'gifts'. A nice champagne here and there.

What about the bottom 5, 10%? Well, you can't give them any money, because that could effectively move them from one social class to another (not the US, but locally this would be moving them from Class E to Class D). So you took them to lunch.

I thought it was wild once I learned that.

It’s not so straightforward, though. In the U.S., wages are usually discussed in terms of hourly pay or annual salary, whereas in Brazil, they’re typically expressed as monthly earnings.

Exactly. It's a 1000+ people consulting firm, with a few dozens allocated with us

Just recently we got an e-mail from a consulting company we work with, their devs are 100% allocated to the client. The letter was something along the lines: "We hear you guys are using Github Copilot, and we would appreciate if from now on you could provide the number of lines from each developer that was created with AI, that was helped by AI (they are distinct metrics), and how many the developer created on their own. Per month". We, the paying client, that work with several consulting companies, got that e-mail.

I understand the author, and if these days the developers are on it for the money and deliver, but don't bring up stupid shit like this, I don't care much. Not everybody is on it for any kind of creativity relief. Spending hours on their Lottie animations or shaving off miliseconds out of request is not really for everybody either. We are lucky to cross paths with people that care.
