Looks awesome, I just bought. I'd love to see Office/Teams Calendar integration. Good luck!

New comment by yilugurlu in "Your app subscription is now my weekend project"

yilugurlu — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 11:47:29 +0000

I see the sceptical comments, but no one says this "vibe-coded" projects/apps/tools will be ready for your customers. It basically scratches the itch for the given users/company/whatever. Also, it doesn't have to be fast, stable or handle 1_000_000 concurrent users. You don't have to worry about that.

Not everything has to be a SaaS, but I don't think all SaaS apps can be vibe-coded to a weekend project.

If it is solving my issues and problems, why do preaching about the merits of a proper product or paying. I'll pay for what I see value in, and vibe-code where I don't see the benefit of paying.

Maybe I miserably fail and get back to paying to product. It's all good, I take that responsibility while I start my vibe-coding session.

It reminded me of ColdFusion, which could be something better if it hadn't ended up in Adobe's hands.

It's like they all vibe-coded all the new 26.XX OSs across devices.

I tend to ignore these kinds of things, but sometimes applications are unresponsive, lose focus, and iOS apps don't show the keyboard, etc. so I cannot take it anymore.

I wanted to open a file from the Files app on iPad, a PDF. It opened the Preview app, but it couldn't allow me to scroll through the file. I tried to close it, but, back button goes to the Preview app, not to the Files. Then closed the app, and from the Files, but again it kept opening this separate app, instead of the in-app PDF viewer, and I guess I have never seen a malfunctioning state or application flows in default iOS apps ever.

The new reminders app is a joke. It has weird things that randomly jump from date selection to time selection, and sometimes select random dates.

It's like, they did, `claude new-reminder-app.md --dangerously-skip-permissions`, and "is it working? working! release it!" I know (hope) it's not the case, but, since the last few weeks, it feels it's like that.

New comment by yilugurlu in "Leaving serverless led to performance improvement and a simplified architecture"

yilugurlu — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 12:28:50 +0000

These two have resonated with me deeply.

- Eliminated complex caching workarounds and data pipeline overhead

- Simplified architecture from distributed system to straightforward application

We, as developers/engineers (put whatever title you want), tend to make things complex for no reason sometimes. Not all systems have to follow state-of-the-art best practices. Many times, secure, stable, durable systems outperform these fancy techs and inventions. Don't get me wrong, I love to use all of these technologies and fancy stuff, but sometimes that old, boring, monolithic API running on an EC2 solves 98% of your business problems, so no need to introduce ECS, K8S, Serverless, or whatever.

Anyway, I guess I'm getting old, or I understand the value of a resilient system, and I'm trying to find peace xD.

New comment by yilugurlu in "Show HN: Advanced-Alchemy – A framework agnostic library for SQLAlchemy"

yilugurlu — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 17:52:52 +0000

I use this library in production; it has great tools and features that I couldn't find in Python, that I missed from other frameworks or languages. The only downside is that you have to figure out what is what from the code; the documentation is not good. But once you figure out the details, it's downhill from there. We use this with the Litestar framework; there are things that I hate, but in general, it works out really well. Especially, if you managed to set up your services, repositories correctly, then many things happen magically. Though I suggest anyone who'd like to "taste" these use `msgspec` as a serialisation library. We hit the wall earlier when we wanted to use Pydantic in complex schemas for serialisation, so we went back to msgspec. The downside is that msgspec misses the validation part.

Anyway, I recommend that anyone go beyond the regular SQLAlchemy. I like the syntax `account = await accounts_service.get_one_or_none(*filters, id=account_id)` a lot.

New comment by yilugurlu in "Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop"

yilugurlu — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 09:24:01 +0000

I am genuinely curious, why Jeep/Chrysler makes the worst decisions in the car industry over and over again. Is this incompetency or this is really how they run their business?

I don't know how many years I have known these brands, but they are constantly in the news regarding bankruptcy. I am aware of the history with Mercedes, followed by Fiat, and now with PSA; it feels as though they are the lab rats for all of these foolish decisions and everything that has gone wrong.

I guess I'd hammer my infotainment screen if I'd seen such an ad.

Wow, I came to see the comments and saw mbanzi answering, and ohh, boy, everyone is hammering him. He genuinely tries to address concerns and questions, but there are many comments with plain intentions to create a flame. Good job on keeping a cool head and explaining the same thing repeatedly.

Congratulations also. Getting here and raising a significant amount of money is never easy.

Having read the cookbook [1], and wow that's a complex API out there. I can see that there will be a `Temporal Light` to allow us to do `now().startOf('month')` like calls.

yilugurlu — Mon, 05 Sep 2022 09:58:26 +0000

I regret that I've chosen 16GB. I thought with the 1 TB fast SSD I could utilize the swap (also 400€ cheaper) and help Docker continue working seamlessly, but working with many containers and many tabs and App's open I can feel the sluggishness switching between windows. If I were to buy new, I'd buy at least 32.

Same here. I liked it and wanted to buy it, but I didn't want to give €55. If it was 30 or 28.XX something, I will be using it already.

It is nothing rational, just a buyer's reaction to a product and its price.
