@RhinosaurRyan asking which database to switch to in 2026 is engagement farming

hmm supabase is forcing us to update postgres, but also dropping support for the timescale extension? Only one month notice. what should I switch to?

if you are a YC CTO i would like to talk to you. i’ll come to your office and bring nice things.

@ay_ushr @PlanetScale Outing myself as a rookie

fuck your MRR show me your @PlanetScale bill

@samlambert They are called tv show episodes

they should make movies that only last an hour

@magnumdong1992 In all seriousness, this is how I keep track. The 5 for 5 roast beef is now 2 for 7.

the equivalent of "did you restart it" in software engineering in 2026 is "did you make sure the agent did what the skill says"

@dumbgayretard Explain

yep

@johngateley @Storyaliz @neondatabase The CEO retweeted you which should tell you something about their customer service (it’s very good) - very fast no nonsense Postgres with an excellent support team, and somehow even excellenter insights and metrics

@benjamin_ACD @Storyaliz @neondatabase Thank you! I will check this out.

Yesterday, @Storyaliz had our first outage! @neondatabase had an outage and our DB was down. This is not a milestone I was looking forward to, but it is a milestone all the same. And, good AND bad, users were online and impacted.

@GawdofFrames @magnumdong1992 it's legal now

@magnumdong1992 Doug are you saying we had sex? I'm calling the police.

opus 4.7 has gone the way of opus 4.6 this weekend

@homegymcoop he has got the kind of basement that men get strong in

I gifted my brother-in-law a functional trainer squat rack a few months ago. I’m staying at their house for the first time since I gave it to him. I’m worried he’s going to quickly realize that the gift was as much for me as it was for him…

@jamesperkins 😂😂

@benjamin_ACD This happens so often, i’ve sent a few personalized emails welcoming them and how can i help

respect to competitor who signed up for free trial with real name/email

@samlambert Tag him king

Postgres on Dropbox is faster than Postgres on NVMe

@dillon_mulroy @aarondfrancis I think this means that you are likely doing too much with your skills. I think they would be better named “conveniences”

i think skills are a mistake and the wrong abstraction. i almost never want my agent auto invoking them and i have built custom tooling to "toggle" them on/off to prevent them from always being present in my context window.

@simeonGriggs @BenjDicken Everyone, myself included, is too scared to switch the definite article to something much funnier

@BenjDicken "don't make me bring the balls out"

FYI physics is still physics. NVMe is fast. Felt like a good day to update you all on this

@BenjDicken *someone makes crazy statement about databases* Ben: “time to get the balls out”

@dumbgayretard How much of a chud do you have to be to hit a 5 hour codex limit

torched my 5 hour limit but /goal in codex is still going because codex team is a bunch of chads
