I’m curious, how many of you have worked on a SaaS product that has handled more than 20,000 requests per second? I don’t care if you like me or hate me I’m just curious to learn.
I know some of you have worked on more than one. Put a +1 or +2 or whatever in my replies.

@kwamehubbard Sooooo you like how much it isn't like a normal programming language?

@raiderrobert HTML, as it name states is a mark-up language and not a programming language. With no flow control and conditional processing it lacks the hallmarks of a programming language

This also helps illustrate why I don’t think LLMs are going to replace software developers: you need a whole lot of earned experience to prompt a model to create things like this
LLMs augment us, they don’t replace us

I just spent ten minutes in Claude-3.5 Sonnet spinning up this little interactive streaming chat app to play around with the latest Google Gemini models - notes and prompts here: simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/27/ge…

"to ship fast just use the tools you already know"
Ok but if all you know is modern js frameworks that split into frontend + backend + 50 npm dependencies... you're better off taking 2 weeks to learn php or rails. Now you've cut stack complexity in half and ship 2x faster.

Most of crypto: NFTs and various “sh*tcpins” look like a security, behave like a security and are unregulated. They are almost certainly securities.
This has always been obvious for insiders profiting by means that are banned for securities (eg pump-and-dump, wash trading etc).

OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities. We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight. Cryptocurrencies have long been in the crosshairs of the SEC, and companies like @coinbase, @Uniswap, @RobinhoodApp, @krakenfx, and @Consensys have been fighting against the SEC's single-track approach of "regulation by enforcement." But this is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves. NFTs are fundamentally creative goods: art, collectibles, video game items, domain names, event tickets, and more. We should not regulate digital art in the same way we regulate collateralized debt obligations. As we've built OpenSea, we've heard so many stories about the impact of NFTs on people’s lives, including: • Student artists finding full-time careers in selling their digital art • Indie game developers instantly enabling open markets for their in-game items, without having to build marketplaces from scratch • Passionate collectors from different corners of the world joining new communities, all centered around shared digital ownership It would be a terrible outcome if creators stopped making digital art because of regulatory saber-rattling. Take, for example, the suit filed against the SEC by the musician @songadaymann and conceptual artist @brianlfrye, which describes their fear that the sale of their art and music could be deemed unregistered securities offerings. In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear. I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind. Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry. Onwards 🌊⛵️

@Steve8708 So what you're saying is you've never paid attention before to like....a LOT of OSS software projects?
If I were to build a list of companies that did something that vaguely looks like what you'd describe, it'd probably be most of them.

how do ppl feel about how cursor forked open source software, made it closed source, and charged for it?
yes they added a few great features
but 99% of the code in cursor was not written by them, yet my money goes to only them and not the vs code team, is that right?

@craigkerstiens @crunchydata DBMS Benchmarks!!!
I've been waiting for someone to do something like this for so very, very long!

👀 Clickbench managed provider results... (tinyurl.com/2p9vty8s)
Redshift comes in at x2.32 (for $38,076)
Singlestore comes in at x2.59 (for $62,208)
@crunchydata comes in at x3.18 (for $5,818)
So while slightly slower, that price vs. performance balance...💥

@yarotheslav I used flutter recently to do that.
I'd be afraid to discover what kinds of hoops we'd have to jump through to get Rails to work on iOS.
