It’s been fun but I think the party is over here, I just find it too noisy / toxic.

Today we’re opening up Keel with our easiest ever way to get started: a brand new AI-powered backend generator we’re calling Keel Studio.

Keel is the all-in-one, fully functioning backend, complete with database, APIs, auth, permissions, observability and internal tools. All deployed on serverless infrastructure, ready to scale with you.

We’ve heard from our users that they’d like an easier way to get started with Keel.

With Keel Studio you get a deployed production grade and fully customisable backend in minutes all from your browser. Use AI to quickly get started and get your APIs deployed.

@monkchips It sure does. Will sponsor 🙌

[Benoit Machefer @BenoitMachefer]

Excited for this one! The team has been working super hard building an impressive product and a great experience. It's time for the world to see it!

If someone asks you “what’s your backend?” and your answer is “Postgres”, I’m sorry to have to tell you but you have no idea what a backend is.

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

@ilyatulvio I think what made it was:

- slow cooked mince, well reduced, using a high fat mince
- large quantity of béchamel made with whole milk
- construct day before and leave in fridge overnight

There is also a huge smug feeling from having a ready-to-go lasagne in the fridge 😊

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

I think I made the perfect lasagne.

@thdxr Experience tells me developers are generally awful at judging the value of a thing and also awful at estimating how hard it would be to build said thing themselves.

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

@cnakazawa Started on Elden Ring which might have been a bad choice for a newbie gamer as just spent most of the time dying. Switched to Final Fantasy VII Remake and that has been wonderful and really fun.

Also been playing It Takes Two with my partner which is very cute.

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

@thdxr One or three are good I think. One if you are doing other stuff concurrently and coordinating with channels, three if you just want to get updates on the blocking process.

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

@mattvagni @ErikAndreDev It was so perfect I forgot to take a photo of it before eating it. It exists only as a beautiful memory now.

@danielcroe Restarting VSCode fixes the issue, but that's quite annoying vs. just restarting the language server from the command palette.

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

The "Restart TS server" command in my VSCode has disappeared... anyone else experiencing this?

[Jon Bretman @jonbretman]

@danielcroe Nope in a main.test.ts file - TS language server seems to have totally died - no types, can't cmd+click through to definitions etc...
