Dylan Briar

Passionately coding, climbing, and creating. Co-creator of @_BuQL_, looking for the next team I can contribute to.

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

Couldn't be more proud of the team. This experience has taught me so much, not only code-wise, but just about being a SWE in general. I think I'll do a post about that soon, so stay tuned.

But most importantly, BuQL Up!

[BuQL @ OSLabs @_BuQL_]

The moment we've all been waiting for:

BuQL up, because WE'VE LAUNCHED!

BuQL is the harmonizing of Bun and GraphQL into one easy-to-use npm package, with ioredis included for the most optimal query response times.

Check out the project here, drop a ⭐! https://t.co/6GDJhdOHmj

Sometimes, with adhd, you obsess over things like optimizing one of the most trivial leetcode problems to the maximum and writing about it.

On a completely unrelated note, here's a new Medium article I just posted: https://t.co/nVglqYza2o

I've heard the debate before of whether innovation is spurred on more by competition or collaboration. Kubernetes is a great story of how both play crucial roles.

This one takes a look at the troubles of getting Authentication set up from scratch, and why libraries are so useful.

That was great! Would have been even better if all that video had actually saved....but....alas!

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

So long as all goes swimmingly, I'm about to do my first stream over at https://t.co/bRdVAOfu0C. Come gather round the fire

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

Forgot to tag him, great episode @kentcdodds !

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

Probably my favorite of the dod pod so far. Scott is the kind of person I want to be when I grow up https://t.co/AlLi1Q76aH

superbowl portal on X was powered by @bunjavascript backend. reached ~800k concurrent users on the page and we realized we underestimated how good bun is; utilized only 10% of the cpus we allocated

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

I'm not an eagles fan, but glad to see these guys win it, especially Saquon.

Also, "I had a purpose before everyone had an opinion," is a phenomenal quote.

wait this too!

yea the "big game" is cool and all but have you ever watched two snakes fight each other for apples

[Angry Tom @AngryTomtweets]

OpenAI just dropped o3-mini and it’s insane!

It's their fastest, smartest, and most cost-effective reasoning model yet and people are going absolutely crazy over it.

10 wild examples:

1. "create a snake game, where snakes compete with each other"

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

AI is cool and all but i could also just watch deepseek's version for ours. it's almost therapeutic

[elvis @omarsar0]

o3-mini-high (left) vs. deepseek-r1 (right)

results from the first try

deepseek-r1 is cracked... wtf!

Got to hang out at the monthly AJS meetup and it was great! Informative talks given, one of which was improvised on the spot, and new connections made. Stoked for next month 🤙🏻

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

Here's the X post and his profile!

[teej dv 🔭 @teej_dv]

curious?

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

It's a shame that TJ doesn't get more views, he deserves them.

I needed this reminder. As a jobless SWE, it feels like there's so much pressure to learn everything. Every JD has something. How about I take a radical step: learn what I WANT to learn.

I always love these videos from the bun team! I'm specifically excited about the PostgreSQL integration; I was in the process of getting Postgres set up on the website I'm working on, but now I can just use what's built in. Stoked

And by that I mean two things. 1. Wow, this code that seemed complicated wasn't as bad as I thought at the time, and 2. No wonder I had a hard time with it, this code was CHAOS. My team had such a horrible file structure. Oh well, yesterday's critiques are tomorrow's skill set!

[Dylan Briar @DylanBriar]

Had a great call with a semi-mentor of mine today revisiting some old code that I wrote. He described it very well: "It's like when you walk back into your elementary school as an adult and everything feels so much smaller than you remember."
