I shipped Live Checks for exit1.

It streams probes in real time, so you can see downtime, slow TTFB, DNS delays, connect issues, and TLS problems as they happen.

Monitoring should not make you wait to understand what just broke.

@ThePrimeagen You can still make it!

It's because all vibe coded projects are too simple for ever needing C++ efficiency. It simply doesn't make sense. personally I would consider C#, Go and Rust before even having a thought about C++.

Maybe I'm just a bad developer, but I feel like C++ is hard to maintain compared to the others.

@LimitingThe I have an M3 LR AWR. It easily goes over 600 km. (370miles)
I even managed to get the estimated range over 900 km. However that was behind a truck on the highway.

It's such a crazy efficient car. It feels like it's hovering.

@ChShersh It 100% feels that way for sure

@theo I use both every day, I tend to move back and forth depending on the task. Codex is a bit more straight forward in its approach, which makes for good stuff isolated. Claude is better for broad thinking.

@HamitoucheBilel @chrisgoingturbo @theo It won’t make you look smart saying that

@martin_valchev_ Factoring code is quite important thought. I have 2% rule. 2% of all lines of code you do will have to be refactored every year. It’s a quite nice rule of thumb that reminds you, nothing lasts.

@DanielSmidstrup @Sherifdeenolat2 Getting users has never been my issue. Making them pay on the other hand…

@aditiitwt You forgot the loop!

[prads @pradslabs]

@AliGrids Infinite Claude for sure. I already had the Bitcoin. 🥳

@ThePrimeagen Why stop at 120?

[prads @pradslabs]

@YashHustle_22 No because Stack overflow is dead 😭

@DanielSmidstrup Opus 4.8

most people are not bad at using AI.

they’re bad at describing what good looks like.

AI can write the code.
It can move pixels.
It can generate the dashboard.

But it still needs taste, direction, and someone willing to say:

“no, that’s not it.”

@DanielSmidstrup It’s quite insane to follow :)
Please keep the inspiration up

@daniel_mac8 It’s called over engineering

[prads @pradslabs]

Postgres is boring. But boring is good in tech. Agree?

[prads @pradslabs]

@theo @WallisDev I don’t experience these issues at all
