Building something.

Opinions are my own, unproven - and likely wrong.

@steveruizok I legit thought this was ragebait about AI doing something that tl;draw already did.

tbh, really didn't notice the difference because I don't think anyone uses it simultaneously like that.

OTOH, the drawing didnt feel as good (could've been the scrolling causing issues)

The warning signs for bun/zig weren't exactly subtle.

@MunishMummadi @thdxr In fact I’d say we have negative influence as all language proposals I’ve made have been heavily downvoted

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@ns123abc Ok... maybe I am spending too much time on this app.

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@Hassanytdiner @yahyavision Not the guy,

but the typography isnt great, gradient is wayyy too strong, if you want emphasize steps, make are the smaller, and pick something that's not so thin for stronger impression.

Also the white radial gradient is... not working

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@eyexayuh @yahyavision Not the guy, but...

You should probably add a solid background that matches the main backgroudn to the bottom right text.

the dots make it hard to read.

Also minor nitcpick would be adjusting the line widths for the circles to match the lines, at stopping at the radius.

@kentcdodds @cursor_ai "This is going to be pretty big task but you got this."

I am not even this emotionally available to my own family let alone an AI that's meant to do my bidding.

At best I tell it to get it right or the world explodes.

Uniform color scales is a fallacy. Uniform chroma/lightness is not remotely close to possible, nor is it even desirable.

Explanation in thread 🧵

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

Fun fact: OpenAI handles 800 million users on ChatGPT with just one PostgreSQL primary and 50 read replicas 🤯

Today, OpenAI published an engineering blog explaining how they scaled their Postgres setup to support a massive 800 million users using a single primary and 50 multi-region replicas.

They dive into details around their scaling approach, the PgBouncer proxy, cache locking, and cascading read replicas. It is genuinely neat and impressive.

Some time back, I published a video on my YouTube channel where I dissected the blog and broke down the nuances.

Give it a watch - it is short and fun.

@sudo_overflow yea, this is totally me doing research and not procrastinating 👀

@frantzfries It was over when they named it 'bing'.

@ImLunaHey I use dark mode for vibes.

But black text on white (-ish plz no #ffffff) background is much better for legibility, as per multiple studies, and a few reasonable scientific explanations (more light = focused pupils, small lights create halos, etc.)

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@camsoft2000 Then it starts to have a really patronizing tone like I am the dumbass.

Random shoutout to @devongovett and @parceljs

I still remember it fondly from a time when it was just webpack.

Always confused me how vite grew so much when it seemed like parcel had those killer features even earlier on.

@lenatron33 "rusty crusty"

This is now my favorite slur for rustaceans.

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@sandislonjsak Ironically, this is such a big factor (>99%), and so incredibly obvious, that stating it is often redundant and uninteresting.

Maybe one day we'll develop an appropraite way to communicate this idea in a way where it's not discouraing or impoite to say: this isn't great.

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@theo Do they really not give you special limits? Seems like it'd be easy advertising.

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@olarclara ooo an actual controversial opinion that I am split on.

I like the idea, but code diffs are builtinto tools like github. There isn't really a good way to show diffs for images and ui state in general.

If it's just a scrensht in the desc. or buried in docs - it's 2 mch effort.

[Preom M. R. @preommr]

@evisdrenova A lot of it is marketting. And unfortunately, it works.

I saw a bunch of posts that had "wow, this thing was made by fable", that codex/opus can easily do.

And they had better engagement because there's hype around these models.
