<p>Maybe acceptable in some cases but the original example in this thread was about accounting and they use software to do the counting not humans.<p>And even id humans/llms do it there would still be a need for systems of record with things like audit log etc.</p>

<p>Hey vira28, thanks a lot for your work. This is a very promising project because other alternative like supabase/etl, Kuvasz-streamer, Sequin all have some subtle issues.<p>Few questions:
1) For a supabase project can we setup replication slot on replica instead of primary? <a href="https://sequinstream.com/docs/reference/databases#using-sequin-with-a-replica" rel="nofollow">https://sequinstream.com/docs/reference/databases#using-sequ...</a><p>2) For a planetscale cluster are the replication slots on primary or the follower nodes?<p>I'm asking because isn't setting up slots on primary riskier than setting them on replicas/followers? Because If you have them primary In case of WAL buildup your primary will go down?</p>

<p>As someone who uses dbos.dev, restate.dev, cf workflows here is a snippet from our Agents.md:<p><pre><code>  Restate.dev:
    for payment integrations on northflank since its faster than cf workflows, independent of cf and its downtime and self-hostable vendor-lock-in free,
  Cloudflare workflows:
    for non critical stuff like csv/pdf report generations since it's very cheap.
  DBOS.dev:
    for workflows that need atomic messaging tied to a postgres db transaction for 100% reliabilty/durabilty(for example populating a materialized row or sending out critical email/push to a merchant).
</code></pre>
DBOS and Restate are similar on surface but Restate requires a central "orchestrator" which has pros and cons but makes it easy to build with serverless workers on cf/vercel.<p>It also has VirtualObject which is a nice vendor-lock-in-free OSS alternative to CF's single threaded DurableObject.<p>Where DBOS absolutely shines is<p>1) Atomic messaging in the same db tx as your business logic via dbos.enqueue_workflow! This is often the most brittle part of any solution and doing it atomically and durably with same tx that ran your business logic drastically reduces lots of complexity.<p>2) Since DBOS stores workflow state in db it should be easy to build dashboard for observability from metabase/looker(I wish restate exposed its rocksdb instance so it could be hooked up to metabase).</p>

<p>For those looking for a PaaS instead of VPS provider like hetzner I can suggest Northflank. We moved from Render to Northflank and couldn't be happier.<p>Again non affiliated with either.</p>

<p>> There won't be new intermediates or seniors any more to replace the ones that age out or quit the industry entirely in frustration of them not being there for actual creativity but to clean up AI slop, simply because there won't have been a pipeline of trainees and juniors for a decade.<p>There are be plenty of self taught developers who didn't need any "traineeship". That proportion will increase even more with AI/LLMs and the fact that there are no more jobs for youngsters. And actually from looking at the purely toxic comments on this thread, I would say that's a good thing for youngsters to be not be exposed to such "seniors".<p>Credentialism is dead. "Either ship or shutup" should be the mantra of this age.</p>

<p>> There are legitimate reasons for the startup ecosystem to focus firstly and primarily on getting the users/customers. I'm not arguing against that. What I am arguing is why does the industry need to be dominated by startups in terms of the bulk of the products (not bulk of the users). It begs the question of how much societally-meaningful programming waiting to be done.<p>You slipped in "societally-meaningful" and I don't know what it means and don't want to debate merits/demerits of socialism/capitalism.<p>However I think lots of software needs to be written because in my estimation with AI/LLM/ML it'll generate value.<p>And then you have lots of software that needs to rewritten as firms/technologies die and new firms/technologies are born.</p>

Quick thoughts<p>1) US, Europe, China, India seem to be doing way better than the rest of the world<p>2) Germany still tops the charts in europe<p>3) China is probably undercounted, so I wonder if the real number is even higher than US. Would love to hear from people more familiar with chinese job market.<p>4) I wish Africa was doing better given the economic challenges</p>
