I make stuff, like @aggregationsio & @htmlcsstoimage i used to do data things for @epicgames, @houseparty and @whatnot

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

Data teams everywhere struggle with documentation.

That's why I've built AutoDocs, the latest feature for @aggregationsio

TIL:

% padding in css always uses the width.

I love this thing

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

New oven, who dis?

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

I’d love it if tailwind breakpoints worked like this:

“sm+:w-full” == small or bigger, full width
“sm=:w-full” == small exactly, full width

“sm-:w-full” == smaller than small, full width.

Basically i hate that when i want to say “on small screens do X” - i need to negate it for bigger screens. It’s annoying AF. And the lack of a size in front of the smallest one just always trips me up.

I’m sure there’s good reasons, but could i implement it as a plugin for my self maybe 🤔

Apparently this was not a sophisticated hack. But engineers at Instagram going overboard to use AI for everything, and having no incentives for stuff like… security. Inside the security org.

You get what you incentivize.

A warning for any company wanting to copy Meta…

@DanielLockyer And while it’s generally excellent advice, especially relevant here:

AVOID GRAPHQL

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

“Select *”

Oh, forgot you let users upload blobs of raw content, including 8MB base64 images with no validation?

And you’re selecting it 10000x per second because it’s just another column….

I hate over fetching ORMs.

I hate GraphQL.

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

@VicVijayakumar @KristyT @ThinkAppraiser Yeah, i can’t decide.

It’s obviously not enough $ to be upset if it goes to 0

But i also don’t wanna sell early and have it 10x!

Always a struggle

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

@VicVijayakumar @KristyT @ThinkAppraiser I bought some of that last week!

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

$5, 5x improvement.

Seems fair

[Sai Krishna ⚡️ Superblog.ai @_skris]

tested the @supabase free plan and @PlanetScale $5/mo plan for a simple app

supabase: 1100ms
planetscale: 230ms

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

they did, most certainly work nonstop

but “work 7 days a week or lose” is terrible recruiting language if you want senior, talented, and experienced people to join.

the best people will work incredibly hard for a mission, not because a founder tries to shame them into cosplay hustle culture.

@samhenrigold When i do Remote Desktop to help my grandmother with her phone using this… it’s so annoying, i always have to tell dock to hide and then if i forget to disable hiding- later that day it triggers another support session.

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

@Aaronontheweb @schneidenbach @petabridge At that point your netclaw should be supporting itself!

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

@RaminNasibov The sims (any number)

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

@thsottiaux Yay, but can you fix your support plz?

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

Yesterday i looked at my Codex usage dashboard, no credits consumed since March. Yay! I've been within bounds. 70% left on my week.

Mid day today, all of a sudden 0% left on the week, and usage has magically appeared to consume credits for the past 2 months.

WTF, super sus to backfill usage like this.

Anyone else?

[Jeff Needles @jsneedles]

@forgebitz AI cost > people

Output not so amazing.

[Daniel Lockyer @DanielLockyer]

Should we all just assume the days of functioning support are over?

Ironic that the frontier labs have such bad support channels

Especially with the ongoing token usage issues
