Temporal because easy to run long running workflows which run for 5+ hours continuously, or even 10+ hours at times. But also need to make sure your python code (sqla, workflows code, alembic - standard python stack) is overall idempotent and workflows can withstand the ecs contained dying mid run. This setup provides way way to scale the number of ecs containers and their resources which temporal uses. For a simple or less intensive usecase all of this complexity might not be worth it though

@theharshpat @LukeDz8 I keep hearing about Temporal more and more. I'm creeping around on their website right now.

The full data stack in 2026: Parquet on S3, DuckDB for querying, Arrow for in-memory computation and transport. You can build serious data infrastructure with just these three things.

@LukeDz8 @HoytEmerson We did temporal with aws ecs containers for compute, with python, seemed great for a large scale of data pulling and processing workflows (scale of 100GB+ of data) with postgres rds

@GergelyOrosz It’s fascinating how claude went from being a dev favorite to most hated product. Commendable work by CC team. Every week something shady comes out which is a “bug” and we get told “it is not that deep” Lmao

I am increasingly bullish on open source harnesses (like OpenCode) not because they will be better than SOTA closed harnesses, but because they will never pull shady stuff like what Claude Code and other closed harnesses can and do, regularly. Every incident like this a reminder
Om Patel@om_patel5

THIS GUY LOST $200 IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THE STRING "HERMES.md" WAS IN HIS GIT COMMITS HERMES.md is a real convention used in AI agent projects. it's a system prompt specification file. not some obscure edge case he's on claude max 20x at $200 a month. yesterday claude code hit him with "you're out of extra usage" out of nowhere his dashboard showed 13% weekly usage. 0% current session. 86% of his plan was sitting there untouched but $200.98 in extra usage already burned through what should have been covered by his subscription he tried logout & login, different models, fresh installs and nothing worked anthropic support sent the ai bot (four rounds of the same scripted response). eventually they just gave up on him so he started binary searching repos and commits manually on his own time until he found the trigger the string "HERMES.md" in a recent git commit message uppercase, with the .md extension, anywhere in your commit history that's it claude code includes recent commits in its system prompt and something server side flags HERMES.md and quietly routes you off your max plan onto API rate billing > AGENTS.md? fine > README.md? fine > HERMES without .md? fine > lowercase hermes.md? fine > uppercase HERMES.md? you're getting charged API rates he reported it. anthropic support acknowledged the bug three times, called it an "authentication routing issue", thanked him for finding it then refused to refund the $200 so the man pays $200 a month for max, lost another $200 to a billing bug they confirmed, did anthropic's QA work for free on his weekend, and got a "thank you for your patience" in return check your commit history before claude code quietly drains your account too

The greatest con of the decade was calling autocomplete “AI”. The second greatest is calling autocomplete-in-a-loop an “agent”.

I learned recently there's an opposite to paranoia called pronoia. It's when you're delusional that everything will work out. I think cultivating mild pronoia along with actively engaging it (doing things normal people think won't work out) is one of the best things you can do.

Never doom. Stop being pessimistic. The person who wakes up everyday and says they're a fucking loser and nothing ever good happens to them will exist in a reality where nothing ever does. ENDURE EVERYTHING.

Yes, I get this comment often. I love reading a lot about tech, and more importantly sharing the good work of other amazing humans with a wider audience. Also, bridging theory to practice with a few of my engg student nephews gives me an immense satisfaction. Many of my shares are from old archives, some from the weekend tech meetups/classes, some during in-between breaks. And many of these inspire internal work, as well as a few resources that relate closely to the work I am doing. So it’s a mixed bag of things :-) I take a lot of notes in obsidian to manage the interlinks. Thank you for being part of this journey.

@GergelyOrosz Hmm there were no behavioral/model changes recently. If you see something weird (eg. the model refusing to do something) mind running /bug and posting the feedback id? Feel free to tag me

The biggest flex in life is literally just not having to work Nobody really cares how big your house is, what watch you wear, or what kind of car you drive Nothing makes people more jealous than someone with a mysterious source of income who lives life on their own terms

obsidian the company hired its CEO from its own Discord server and the founders publicly said they plan to never grow past 10-12 people, never take VC, never collect analytics they literally don't know their own DAU because they refuse to track it
GREG ISENBERG@gregisenberg

Obsidian is a $350M company for a note taking app built by 3 engineers working remotely No other time in history was something like this possible What a wonderful time to be building a company

@p_millerd Listed to your audiobook 3 times already, had some immense impact on me. (I rarely reread a book) Can you recommend some of your favorite books on anything literally? Liked the name drops of authors but seeking some of your specifics

the path to enlightenment with work is realizing you aren't special and the work isn't special. this actually is the only path to doing something that is special you're clacking away at a laptop sitting in an air-conditioned room. you are not grinding. you are not lazy, you are not procrastinating. you are not winning. you are not behind. you are not really anything except moving your fingers. there is no right way to do it or wrong way to do it. the gates arent real, even if the gatekeepers wish you would think they were. you are allowed to do things without the right credentials your credentials also dont matter at the deepest level. work is quite simple. you are moving things around and transforming them. bits, atoms, or emotions. its all just work. changing a diaper is no different than typing at a keyboard is no different than turning rocks into diamonds enormous suffering could be avoided if people let go of the idea that the purpose of a human life is some imaginary path of achievement. just do stuff you feel called to do. you're allowed to do it well. or lazily. or randomly.
