yo @JustJake Static Egress IP for Services with Replicas in @Railway when? 👉👈🥹

Humanity saw this & then went ahead to build a B2B SaaS 😮‍💨

@SMSarwar47 Sequelize

Prisma or drizzle? Don’t say “it depends."

@nexxeln Bangalore or Delhi works

would you guys be interested in opencode meetups in india if so, where?

@louszbd I used pony-alpha-2 for few tasks & I can tell you that it's quite good in following & retaining instructions but has a slow TPS

pony-alpha-2 has finally leveled up into GLM-5-Turbo can’t wait to see how it performs! DM me with your User ID if you need a rate limit increase for GLM-5-Turbo docs.z.ai/guides/llm/glm…

@MelkeyDev cheaper Static Egress IP ranges for Pro users - I know it's there but it's too expensive ($100 + egress per project)

if you're a Vercel user I want to know any and all problems/difficulties you face with deployments, CICD or the Vercel CLI What features would you like to see added? - Vercel CLI for agents (potential rewrite?) - faster deployments? - agent debugging failed deployments? - agent deployments?

@amanvarshney01 I hope the make database switching easier - for eg in mongoose you can slap a ‘useDb’ & it works, if they're going with a contract first query builder approach then let me specify my database & give me the ability to switch between them

TypeScript s̶c̶h̶e̶m̶a̶s̶ Contracts!

@prisma so you're basically rewriting @kysely_ but this time it'll support MongoDB

Today, we’re sharing our vision for a new foundation for Prisma ORM. It keeps the experience you love and sets the direction for a more composable, extensible, agent-ready future! We'll let the code speak for itself ✨

these nextjs soydevs who deploy on vercel & serverless functions (fluid compute) will never be able to tell you how to fix a memory leak

@adityaoberai @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite Anyway, this reads less like experience and more like docs stitched together

@adityaoberai @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite ‘Real repo means nothing’ is a wild take. It means clone → deploy → it runs. No glue, no orchestration, no ‘use this + that’. The fact that this even needs explaining tells me you’ve never actually shipped like that

Realized Netlify is not free for public repos anymore, there is a limit, and somehow reached that limit, not here to complain, they served the community and times are changing everyone needs to show the business value to the investors, thank you for everything Netlify, for now I am moving to cloudflare.

@adityaoberai @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite And no, this isn’t diverting from Netlify, this is literally about what replaces it in a modern stack. Appwrite doesn’t replace Netlify. And quoting a 2023 blog to define Vercel today tells me everything

@adityaoberai @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite Listing runtimes ≠ deploy platform. Appwrite Functions is just compute. Sites is frontend-only. Try deploying a real public repo end-to-end and you’ll feel the gap instantly. Appwrite is a backend product with some hosting bolted on. Vercel is a whole deployment ecosystem

@adityaoberai @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite Vercel supports Python, Go & Rust. You literally market Appwrite as ‘the open-source Vercel alternative’… and then pull the ‘don’t compare’ card? 💀 So it’s an alternative only when it sounds good, but a different fish when it falls short?

@SooditK @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite Yes, it's meant for web apps built with JS/TS frameworks and Flutter Web (static), not Go, Rust, or Python (yet). This list of supported frameworks is also well defined in our docs. appwrite.io/docs/products/… You can't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, you know?

@adityaoberai @SantoshYadavDev @appwrite afaik Appwrite sites is only good enough for Frontend/Javascript framework. If I have to deploy things like GoLang, Rust or even FasAPI, it just shits the bed

@SantoshYadavDev Do try out @appwrite Sites too sir 😌

N̶G̶M̶I̶

@RoxCodes imo the best signal is how quickly someone becomes “useful” with minimal context a short paid trial with a real bug + basic repo access works well — you’ll quickly see who can navigate ambiguity and reduce your load happy to be evaluated this way as well 🙂

anyone have any tips for interviewing well? hiring more senior roles now and i just feel so unsure of how to walk away from an interview confident someone can do the work AND is a good culture fit

@prisma 7 was launched ~3 months ago & I'm still waiting for that minor release that enables the support for MongoDB 🤦

@akshaymarch7 @kapilyadav2210 I still remember meeting you in Cars24 office in Gurugram on 23rd of April, 2022. It was such a great time (I was an intern back then), gives me nostalgia. @akshaymarch7 we need to bring those meetups back

@kapilyadav2210 Yes, I remember those meetups. That was the time after I left Uber and was thinking what should I do next. That 10 months of break was a very crucial time for my career. Glad that you still remember those learnings from that meetup. ❤️

When I left Uber, a lot of people thought I had lost my mind. Good salary, big brand, stable life. And I was walking away from it to do YouTube, teaching, content creation. In India. People told me very seriously, “This is not a good decision.” Some said, why don’t you do teaching on the side, weekends maybe, and keep the job. That way you are safe. A few senior folks even gave me life advice I didn’t ask for. One of them actually said, with the Uber software engineer tag, get married first, then do whatever you want. Because being a teacher won’t get you good marriage options. I remember laughing inside, and also feeling shocked. I wasn’t even thinking about marriage back then. I was just trying to build a career I could respect. After leaving my job, I didn’t jump into anything. I took almost 10 months off. Proper break. No salary. Just thinking. What do I really want to do, and how do I want my life to look in the long run. That’s when NamasteDev started. Slowly. With a lot of doubt, fear, and honestly no clear roadmap. Earlier I was just a software engineer. Now suddenly I had to be a founder, CEO, marketer, sales guy, product manager, finance guy, and sometimes even customer support. I had no idea how hard this would be. From outside startups look shiny. Inside, it’s a mess most days. Even today, some people give hate, judging decisions, commenting without knowing the work behind it. But when I look back at the journey, it barely affects me. It’s been 5 years now. I live in my hometown, Dehradun. ❤️ I work with a small, strong remote team. I spend time with my family. I live a slow life, and I genuinely enjoy my work. This is the life I always wanted. And I’m very proud that I chose it, even when it didn’t make sense to most people. Sometimes the right decision looks stupid at first. You only understand it when you live through it. Cheers, Akshay Saini

@JustJake I know you have one in Singapore but any plans to deploy in India?
