The first thing I did at @tryramp was set up distributed tracing, structured logging, and metrics for Inspect, our background coding agent. We now have full visibility in to everything the system is doing: the browser, CF workers/DOs, @modal sandboxes, database calls, etc. Most importantly, Inspect now has visibility in to itself. It can self-triage runtime errors it encounters and create PRs to fix them. Every morning, it reviews the past 24 hours of its own @datadoghq dashboard, identifies systemic issues, new errors, and long tail latencies, and has a summary + PR waiting for me at 9am.

@steipete @ivnglushko Surprising how much both Claude code and Gemini CLI have in common, architecturally and in their UI patterns.

@ivnglushko And React. Yeah. Interesting times!

Cause TypeScript is amazing.

@steipete @cirrus_labs Makes sense for you to try that first since you’re already on GH actions so no need to migrate especially if you have custom actions as dependencies.

@simjp You're selling it quite hard. Got a really beefy runner from @cirrus_labs thought that I'm currently testing.

GitHub CI still has no Xcode 16.3 on their machines. What are my options? What are ya’all using for fast Mac CI?

@steipete I agree with you in theory but in practice GH actions UI is actually quite bad, especially at streaming logs in realtime which is kind an important piece of it. Buildkite’s web UI puts the rest of the CI space to shame, it’s not even fair.

@simjp that forces me to go into their UI vs having everything in GitHub tho?

@steipete Nice to see you being back in the game!

@simjp Thanks, JP! I didn't think of that. I'm ... a bit rusty 😅

Added SwiftLint and it uses SwiftMacros so now my compile times are MINUTES more. This is still not fixed?

Would you pull Saquon Barkley off the field to file expense reports? You better not say yes. Welcome @tryramp’s newest, fastest partner and investor, and the star of our very first big game ad — @saquon! Let’s go birds 🦅

Amazing / rare opportunity! Ramp (fastest growing startup of all time, iykyk) is looking for Android contractors to help build their rocket ship. Option for full time available too (1/2)

@Lascorbe You’re aging better than a fine Rioja wine, my friend 🍇

it seems like I’m getting older

@terhechte @radexp @NSSpain @giladronat The solution is clear here, we should all come back next year 😉

@radexp @NSSpain @giladronat @simjp Yeah! Would have loved to meet you again! Come for the wine and tell us about your new React life 😀

Sigh… I wish I could be at @NSSpain… It's been so long 🍷 @giladronat @terhechte @simjp 👋

Joining @simjp for the #WWDC23 developer session 💪🏻

@alanzeino I’m sure they also excel at customer service

My airline has the best technology

@alexjlockwood @beesandbombs

@brandt_daniels @seanallen_dev Yeah it’ll be 9 years in June 🤯

@simjp @seanallen_dev Dang, Swift has been around 9 years already?! I’m looking for an iOS position as well. Ugh.

I was laid off from Lyft today, so I'm looking for work! If you're hiring remote or in Montreal, hit me up. 12 years iOS experience, 9 years Swift. My DMs are open.

@BrightH4mmer Not really

@simjp Python or TCL experience?

@ezra___c @seanallen_dev Even after doing this for more than a decade, there’s still something magical about going from idea to something you carry in your pocket everywhere you go in a matter of hours.

@simjp @seanallen_dev Sorry to hear that! What about iOS development interests you? I recently started this path and having a bit of confusion between loving it and hating it.

@gonzalolarralde It was lovely working with you, Gonzalo! ❤️

And if you haven't yet, please also look for all the people impacted because a huge whole lot of very capable and smart people has been let go today. ❤️

Today was my last day at @lyft as I've been affected by recent layoffs. It's very sad to have to leave after this 4 years but as I do it I can only look back and feel grateful for the opportunity I was given to be part of that incredible team.

@CalebPanza @krzyzanowskim None

@simjp @krzyzanowskim You have any React Native experience??
