@Titan3831319656 @dok2001 Yeah really sad. The tooling is really good but reliability is key. Will be monitoring and hope everything stabilizes before adding yet another service.

@stolinski Yup moved all supported domains from godaddy to CF. Saw a massive price reduction. Can’t wait for them to cover all TLDs

students having access to copilot for free is the biggest educational blunder of all time

[dax @thdxr]

most engineers don’t do support

so when they make decisions they don’t factor in the cost on the user

this lack of awareness is at the point where there’s entire tools geared towards prioritizing DX over end user UX

if your senior software engineer doesn't bring this vibe to work that's not your senior

[Cory House @housecor]

Avoid a single meeting on a problem. Instead, have two separate meetings:

Meeting 1 - Define the problem.
Meeting 2 - Decide how to fix the problem.

Here’s why:
✅ The first meeting assures everyone understands the problem. This avoids people jumping to suggestions before we agree what the problem is.
✅ Gives people time to think about the problem before the solution meeting.

Result? More contribution and better ideas.

the billing model of cloudflare workers isn’t talked about enough - it’s crazy disruptive

i thought 1ms billing was huge - cf doesn’t bill you for time where your function is waiting in IO (eg your database)

that’s probably like 80% of all my requests - so it’s 80% cheaper

Timeless advice

After an insult in 1997, Steve Jobs replies:

"You have to start with the customer experience and work your way backwards to the technology"

And more importantly

"You can not start with the technology and try to figure out where you going to try to sell it"
