When you become an engineer in Canada, you take an oath To never cause harm/suffering/etc to humans as a result of your work This applies equally, if not more, to business Both can be used for good (to remove suffering) or evil (to add it) Do good work. Don't be evil

@JustJake We're back online, we had to do a redeploy. I'd suggest doing a bit of research on your end to see what went wrong. it was definitely not us.

@JustJake Hi Jake, our server is down. Very confident it's a Railway issue. Check our domain (confirmafy.com) CloudFlare is indicating a problem with the host. Then we got a brief response of "Service temporarily unavailable" We've tried restarting and redeploying.

@theSaaSdemon The double life is lame. I lived it. Find somewhere that lets you go all in, and rewards you for it If that’s not possible, build that for others. Though that path is less preferable (more other BS to do vs the thing you love)

@grinich Also lets you think “Would that actually have taken a month/quarter or was there a way to do that in a week?” I’d say 50/50 hit rate if you can cut it correctly IME

@grinich Weeks been my preferred denomination Day sized ones I’ll knock out Friday or Sunday Anything bigger (month/etc), I’ve found it’s just easier to chop into week sized increments

@michael_milst It’s always intuition Data and user feedback is useful but never even close to the full picture Beware “cheap solutions”. The right solutions take time. Thankfully you can do a lot in 80-100h

@JustJake What’s the strategy for finding that thing? User feedback and funnel data reveal contenders but i feel like there’s always some intuition involved which maybe isn’t perfect

@JustJake Just expose your database to the internet and let the agents figure it out. Then we can all go on vacation.

Very wrong, very dangerous You want your APIs to do the exact same thing, every time AI is great at many things; reproducibility is not one of them
Naval@naval

AIs replace UIs and APIs.

Use AI to iterate, to evolve, discrete logic (aka, code) Handing the inconsistency to and end user is asking for pain and frustration for all involved

@acgfbr Working on it! Added a new burn in phase for new hardware + improving automatic software rebalancing Deepest apologies
Jake@JustJake

@jmclarty Yes. Deeply, we’re hammering on reliability as we grow super quickly Our hardware vendor did burn in tests, but at scale, a couple machines failed We’ve added our own prior “burn ins”, caught a few bad eggs, and this should get better and better Deepest apologies 🙏

@Mattslayga @Railway We will get there in time! Gotta do right by our existing customers Reliability is up, pages are down (despite all time highs on traffic) We make this next part of the product that we're deeply proud about then we scale to every region under the sun Thanks for your patience 🙏

@JustJake @Railway That’s definitely fair, reliability and stability definitely take precedence. My experience with railway so far as been impeccable. I only wish for the Aussie sites so I don’t need to use anything else ever again 😉
