@tryramp Thanks! Would be great if you had a public system status page so people can follow along as you fix.

[Khang Tran @schmingle]

@tryramp Ramp is down? Been like this for a few mins now.

@GergelyOrosz Shouldn't an AI-first EM actually encourage the use of AI for perf and then use AI himself to make analyzing it all fair and easy? Rejecting AI here feels backwards

[Khang Tran @schmingle]

@GergelyOrosz Love these types of engineers! Always decouple perf from the price I'd pay to keep someone. Two different things, both meaningful, but very different.

@goosewin Should've used Typescript instead of Go 🤣

How to Build An Agent From Scratch - Part 2 https://t.co/uGdFDzvWyC

[Khang Tran @schmingle]

@sirius_callus It's a different kind of strategy and it doesn't quite translate. War strategy is probably a better fit. Or just straight up business strategy. Plenty of books out there.

@rickyrobinett @CloudflareDev I love Cloudflare! Thanks for sharing!

[Khang Tran @schmingle]

@BraydenWilmoth I think the naming is what threw me off, as evidenced by your renaming here. Should've just called it a Durable Worker or Stateful Worker or something related to workers. I initially thought a Durable Object was a storage service.

I learned a ton building an AI chatbot (https://t.co/jvCat5jBxf) and here's the stack I found worked for me:
- Cloudflare Pages and Workers
- Supabase
- Expo
- Gemini w/grounding and function calls

[Khang Tran @schmingle]

It also made me realize:
- Being AI-first means your stack is going to be very different
- Full-stack engineers (i.e. generalists) will rise to the top
- Engineering leaders to be technical and hands-on

@billclerico Depends what you have in mind, but happy to share what I know. Gimme a ring.

[Khang Tran @schmingle]

Thanks for reading. Feedback welcome! (And encouragement, this is scary haha.)

Even the greatest companies launched what we now see as ugly websites. From Amazon to Airbnb to Uber, they put themselves out there early to get real feedback. This can be daunting, but I'm ripping off the bandaid so I can just get to building and solving problem!
