@joseppudev @kiwicopple Fun fact, my supabase databases were all online and functional. I could connect directly and query no problem.
The api's and auth were all down, but it seems our databases are properly hydrated and energized 👍
English
@kiwicopple are our databases fed and stocked with plenty of water? we need to know they are taken care of. we have a right to know mr. Paul!

FYI - Supabase affected

The best quality livestreams will now be on Rumble.
We didn't license technology, we made it ourselves, so good luck to the competition in catching up.

The eternal question of whom to listen to:
1. An SWE who writes slop but earns lots of money.
2. An SWE who crafts a magnificent useful bug-free project but doesn’t earn money from it.

@jakubtomsu_ Without checking his profile: Does this guy only sell books, and/or do workshops and teaching?

I don't understand where the idea fast code has to be poorly organized or unreadable came from?
IMO If you *actually* understand performance you can write very clean and simple code and still be easily like 100x faster than a lot of modern software

I've been reading comments by people who are hand optimizing for speed (or they object to things like encapsulation because of—often imagined—speed hits). With the obvious exceptions (e.g. real-time gaming), why does speed matter much? Of course, you don't want to be deliberately sloppy (e.g. function calls that return the same value inside of loops), my experience is that maintainabiity is more important than raw speed in most programs. If people aren't complaining about the speed, and if the cost of running cloud instances isn't more than the cost of maintenance, I see little point in optimizing for it.

@mattpocockuk Gotta go air, just get a bit more ram and it’s perfect

What's the best value-for-money laptop/computer for devs right now?
Mac preferred. Laptop preferred, but not necessary.
No remote servers, gotta be local.
English
@thdxr Don’t just take their word at face value though, you often have to look for the problem behind the (feature) request.
Truly understand and solve their problem even if that means a different solution than they might ask for.
English
if you're a dev there's a habit you need to curb if you want to be good at product
on your team if another engineer is trying to do something that introduces a lot of complexity/problems you should say "just don't do that"
but when it comes to users this mindset does not lead to a good product - they aren't your team member and you do not have context into their decisions
you have to just make stuff work, even if you don't agree with the stuff
English
@AdamRackis You should thank them for the endless engagement farming opportunities

It really is insane how we let a tiny number of privacy zealot weirdos ruin the web for everyone else
English
@checkraisefold_ @dobroslav_dev I assume you are referring to aws and the like? I would agree, those have the same problem.
Services like Railway, Modal, Supabase, Fly, Vercel etc do not afaik. We use Supabase and Modal, can confirm they are amazing and worth the small premium on the resources.
English
@codeptualize @dobroslav_dev instead of one person spending a couple hours a month maintaining that server, replace them with 4 cloud architects navigating some utterly deranged web panel to maintain it instead at quadruple the required hours. truly a masterful plan

@htmx_org My guy, there is a difference between writing code that is optimized for maintenance/feature expansion and code that is optimized for performance

"long methods are bad"
"if statements are bad"
"early returns are bad"
OK, you show me your software that has been more useful to the world and more rock solid than redis
then take a long, hard look at this:

maybe it's time to pause and reflect

@dobroslav_dev Sure, if you want to learn about it then for sure.. but then why are we comparing price?
Some of them are really cheap, if you don't include the price of your time. Like I said there are scenarios where it makes sense, but a lot of times those hours cost a lot more than $95
English
@codeptualize This applies only on companies. You can learn stuff and sell your knowledge too. Working with servers is something worth learning.
I don't say Cloud is bad, I say there are options to choose from and some of them are really cheap.
English
@dobroslav_dev 👍That's fair, just noting that time spent each month should be a big factor in this decision, time is expensive.

I need to say one important thing which I forgot. Railway is only charging for what you use. If you use only 0,5GB memory, you get charged only for that. It's counted I belive each minute and you get nice chart showing you what's your usage and expected price you gonna pay. You also get $5 free credit on Railway each month for usage. So that's pretty good. But now, if I would want to match egress bandwidth with Hetzner, damn that would be really huge price difference. Railway is charging $100 for 1TB of bandwidth. Hetzner is charging $1.2 for 1TB of bandwidth (and you get 20TB included in VPS price). If you are doing a lot of stuff on your server and have big egress, that's gonna cost you fortune on Railway longterm. It's gonna cost pennies on Hetzner. So it really depends on what you are doing with your server. Also, some people said "Managed vs barebone VPS" True. But you can make "Railway" from your VPS with @coolifyio basically. Coolify handles almost everything you might need from PaaS. And then it's fair comparison.
English
@dobroslav_dev I feel like this is often missed in this discussion. You pay for the "managed" part of it. Unless you are training LLM's, or get to quite decent scale, payroll makes compute cost completely irrelevant.
English
@dobroslav_dev If one person spends a couple of hours a month on maintaining that server it becomes (much) more expensive.
Sure, with scale or if no funding this might be different, but for many companies paying for managed infra is the smart choice and cheaper option.
English
@kepano I mean yes, but in a company you either set up a CMS so people can update themselves, or you are copy pasting word docs into flat files as getting them to update files in version control will not happen..
There are better options than Wordpress though.

@mrberkanxk1 It's not normal, as there is a lack of vegetables.

This is literally just normal food
Meat and eggs
Wtf is so special about meat and eggs bro

@aarondfrancis wait.. you are doing postgres content?! lets gooo! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
English
We've been working on a little tool for comparing Postgres data types for particular use cases. (There are SO MANY data types.)
We'll send it out to the masteringpostgres.com list tomorrow, so be sure to sign up!
