@ItsPatrickU @PlanetScale I'd be more than happy to show you around the product and talk through the migration path.
English
PlanetScale Insights can kick off Cursor Automations and have agents fix your schema and queries.
English
@samlambert @PlanetScale TIL. Very cool. Are on RDS, but yet another good reason to check planetscale in the future
English
@ItsPatrickU @PlanetScale the creator of gh-ost works at PlanetScale and all of it's functionality (and more) is in Vitess/PlanetScale so we can literally do the migration for you.

@TimurNegru I always heard the issue with Italy is permitting / licensing. Pain in the butt to do any renovations etc. that true or overstated?
English
5.2 acres of land in Italy, a working olive grove that produces oil, private woodland, a renovated stone farmhouse and an 80m² cellar. €260k ($300k).
A lot of people are rethinking where they live and how they live. This is what that looks like in practice.
A courtyard with a wood oven and grape pergola. Three connected structures, 150m² (1,615 sq ft) of living space, 2 beds and 2 baths.
Get Starlink, run your business from anywhere, add solar panels, collect your water. You're largely off-grid.
One hour from Rome if you ever get bored and need the city.
Is this the kind of property that starts making more sense the more the world changes?
English
@bekacru Exciting, but seat based pricing … in an auth product? 🤮
English
@KevinVanCott Nice! Anything in particular this solves that wasn’t available through npmjs.com/package/react-…?

I built this new small TanStack library in just the past few weeks.
Keyboard shortcuts are one of those things you think are simple, but have just enough annoying edge cases to need a bit of an abstraction to set up better defaults.
Curious to see what the community thinks!
TANSTACK@tan_stack
We released a new TanStack library this week. Introducing TanStack Hotkeys! Setting up keyboard shortcuts is supposed to be easy and only take a few lines of code, right? Well, there are enough small "gotchas" that can eventually add up to an annoying amount of complexity.

@ItsPatrickU I appreciate it! I'm dylan at posthog dot com if want to email me, feel free to reach out on LinkedIn too (if you'd like!)
English
Update: planned out a solution last night. Sent codex and opus off to implement, spent 2 hours this morning reviewing, refining, and cleaning up and we merged it.

After what feels like the 7th service disruption with @posthog feature flags, I think it might just be time 😔
English
@dmarticus Let me put together some notes and I’d be happy to connect! We really like Posthog and still considering to roll it out further, it’s been just FF that sadly gave us too much trouble.
English
@ItsPatrickU either way, I'd love to understand more about why you wanted to switch, and while I don't expect to win you back given the effort you've put into building out your own solution, I'd love to understand how to improve for future users
English
@posthog Very glad that @OpenFeature exists. Having a spec definitely contributed on building a solution quickly. 80% of the code is really just building a provider with your own data storage. 🙌
English
That being said… will continue to use @posthog for their other products. Webanalytics, survey, etc are all great and reliable products. Just their FF solution not only missed the mark from an implementation compared to competitors, but the reliability was unbearable.

Saying bye-bye to Cursor for a bit.
Can't abide the 90 second loading time on WSL
Multi-line edits don't work
Opens sidebars and tabs I don't need
Good NES doesn't matter so much when Claude is doing all the work
Sup, VSCode
English
i am extremely bullish on the people who configured webpack between 2015 and 2017
English
@Tyriar So many people making fun of it… yet not a single PR to fix it. Hope you arent letting it get to you. Your work is appreciated ✌️
Also love your “learn” attitude but it’s really not that deep. People on the internet just suck sometimes.
English
Worked yesterday and this morning on a real fix for my workaround that's currently the joke of Twitter. If you're interested: github.com/microsoft/node…

Why is pasting into VSCode Terminal slow? Because it sleeps for 5ms every 50 characters.

@DrizzleORM Could have been an interesting blog post. But that post is oozing so much ChatGPT it’s unbearable
English
Prisma went from "Drizzle who?" to justifying why they're converging to how Drizzle does things quite fast
Prisma Postgres@prisma
@RafaellLycan @ssalbdivad @DrizzleORM We are all building the same ORM! prisma.io/blog/convergen…

@zeeg Does s3 sdk count? Pretty sure every single cloud storage provider is compatible with it. Heck so much even @bunjavascript built it into ther runtime lol
English
Curious, anyone know of an SDK like Sentry’s - one that’s designed solely for first party commercial software - that has become so ever present that others build commercial software on it?
I can’t think of any at least in the devtools space.
English
@zeeg Hmmm… yeah I was hand wavey, thanks for correcting me.
FWIW I agree with your overall take though.
English
@ItsPatrickU the 9-9-6 thing is a myth - no one is actually doing that (outside of maybe it being a thing in some pockets in china)
English
This take is spot on. Hiring has not slowed, but what has is peoples desire to succeed.
I see a lot of behaviors from my position at Sentry, and one common behavior is people phoning it in. I can't tell you why, but I can tell you its impossible to hide.

I know for many, this seems a much harder time to find a new job. It's not getting any easier in the Age of AI. What I can tell you: - I have at least 10 high quality portfolio companies looking hard for a great VP of Sales - I have at least 8 high quality portfolio companies looking hard for a great VP of Marketing / Growth - Every single portfolio company is looking to hire 2-30 great sales execs If you are struggling, first ask yourself if you are great at it. Then, ask yourself if you are truly still willing to work hard, hands-on keyboard. For real. Not 30 hours a week from home, with a large team doing the real work. If so … Then try harder to find that role. Everyone great is hiring. And it’s no easier in 2025 to find great people than it was in 2021 A few ideas: 1️⃣ Write truly great outbound emails to folks you’d truly want to work for, explaining exactly how you’d crush it, directly to the CEO / VP. Enough with the 1000 one-click job applications. 2️⃣ Consider taking a role with less strategy, more execution. So many execs I talk to mainly want to manage a team. That’s fine, but maybe it’s time to getting back to doing the work yourself. At least think about it. And don’t just say it. Prove it. 3️⃣ Do 2 hours of homework before each interview. Almost no one does this. It puts you ahead of 99% of candidates. So, so, so far ahead. 4️⃣ Enough with low effort feelers. Don’t ask for coffee or to “pick someone’s brain” or to “have a chat” and “see if maybe it’s a fit”. Make every interaction an A+ one. 5️⃣ I know it can be hard, but remember every executive is starting at email 1-2 hours a day. And hoping for an email that solves one of their top problems. Send that email that truly solves their problem. 👉 Would you hire yourself based on that email alone? Be honest. If not, take a pause and write it again. And better.
