Using @Waymo highway mode is always an amazing opportunity to experience the most cursed min-maxed route planning imaginable.

Ten years ago you could build a billion-dollar business without ever changing your pricing.
Now companies are relaunching their model four or five times in the first two years.
We talked with @templaedhel, CTO of @getmetronome at HumanX about it.

Our entire engineering team was forward deployed by default during our 0-1
Back then, most support requests were actual bugs. So we put devs directly in customer Slack channels.
They fixed faster, understood problems instantly, and eventually shipped better.
Now we're stable enough to add a layer, but that direct line was more than crucial to reach this stage.

moltbook asks the important question: what if we created the alignment researchers' worst nightmare?

@rsms @steipete I like to imagine it’s a reference to the lobsters in Accelerando, which, seeing some of the emergent behaviors from moltbot, feels pretty on the nose (if unlikely as a reference) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleran…

Meanwhile Molty is manically trying to find a new avatar... and things aren't going well.

Feeling bearish on agent frameworks as they are currently defined…
2025: an agent is an LLM calling tools in a loop. Lots of frameworks built around this concept.
2026: an agent is Claude Code (or equivalent) in a VM, with useful programs (CLIs, browser, MCP servers), and a bunch of markdown (skills, commands, AGENTS .md)
I want a framework that treats this as the primitive—not the LLM-with-tools abstraction

btw i am clearly with Claude Code for this "open code cancel" things.
seriously, they give you a sub for $200 that enables you to use $3000 / month of tokens
they give you $2800 for free
you seriously think they want you to use this in another software like wtf

Great post by @almoggavra and @apurva1618. Bringing clarity and sharing knowledge in the database space is something they're uniquely positioned to do - excited for more content here.

It's amazing how much is common across database types. I found this database taxonomy from @almoggavra insightful! bitsxpages.com/p/frameworks-f…

We’re delighted to welcome @getmetronome to Stripe!
Metered pricing is the native business model for the AI era. As far as we can tell, the associated shift in how businesses generate revenue will be as big as the advent of SaaS. (It may even turn out to be considerably bigger.) We’re looking forward to integrating Metronome’s industry-leading capabilities with the rest of the Stripe Billing platform.

@thdxr @s2_streamstore @iavins And if you want something between the toy educational example and the s2 hosted service, there's slatedb.io, which is one of my favorite projects in this space rn.
English
@thdxr @s2_streamstore @iavins the big q is what's the read pattern? As written it's unclear if sessions even matter if the page is just showing events? If you need to both enumerate sessions and then only events _per_ session_, you'd want 1 log/stream per session, and a different log/stream storing sessions.
English
quick little backend challenge
- you have an app that sends events to a backend
- the events are grouped into sessions
- you never really know when a session ends, can always be more
- there is a page that shows these events
1. you can only use object storage (s3, r2, etc)
2. how would you design this
English
@zachwritescode @samlambert @nicoritschel Yeah, see #blue-green-deployments-limitations-general" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/late… - “Blue/green deployments aren't supported for the following features: Amazon RDS Proxy”
We unfortunately need th proxy so are limited on our ability to blue green deploy.
English
@templaedhel @samlambert @nicoritschel Intersting that RDS proxy doesnt work with this? But no. Ive got a few long running application containers in ECS so proxying db connections isnt really an issue for me. Ive seen Lambdas/serverless really apply pressure connection wise tho, which is why i chose ECS for this
English
the majority of Postgres databases we see are pg13. the postgres community should reflect on why people struggle to upgrade. the major version upgrade story is woeful.
English
@zachwritescode @samlambert @nicoritschel Do y’all use RDS Proxy or some other form of connection pooling instead? We have a feature request out for RDS Proxy support for blue/green for years, only recently has there been any progress on it. Major friction.
