I'm launching 2 more products this month in addition to hyperfocus.quest 🕺🕺🕺

Theory of mine is that software engineers with diagnosed/undiagnosed ADHD are the ones having the most fun with AI. Context switching is their middle name.

I’ve spent nearly seven years documenting how we built Fathom: outages, DDoS attacks, migrations, $100k AWS savings, my cofounder’s retirement, and a divorce. I write transparently because I want other people to learn from my mistakes. These 18 posts tell the story:

@NickzTwitta Yep. I don’t think Laravel is needed for ingest as it’s super lightweight. But for app? 1000%.

@munawwarfiroz Yep, exactly that! We had daily rollups AND utc hourly. We are moving to rolling up by site timezone but didn't collect site timezone before. Now we will.

@JackEllis Good article. You rolled up tables by UTC hourly? Is that how the timezone specific start to end of day queries are able to work?

@chimeno We created the niche. Although you’ve right that it’s normal to make mistakes as you grow!

chimeno@chimeno·21h

@JackEllis My takeaway from this is that you can enter a highly competitive niche, make dozens of major technical mistakes, and still make a living from it. Congrats, and well done.

@JackEllis I love these articles, haven’t read them all yet but they are a part of why I even tried Fathom and now got multiple companies running Fathom. It’s a transition to get people to understand to pay for something that they are used to is “free”. Please keep writeing. ☺️

@rossmorsali That's the beauty, everyone gets to pick what works best for them. We used SingleStore for 5 years. I loved every moment. Only reason we left was cost.
