@bradgessler Excited to hear how db pool connection contention plays a part here, if at all.
English
This is dope, exactly the kinda thing I'd want to crank out in an Async Week.

@bradgessler I made an async runner for Solid Queue which will eliminate the need for a big DB pool. Instead of 1 connection per thread, it only requires 3 per process and can run hundreds of fibers in one. github.com/rails/solid_qu…

@_swanson Super easy to setup, did you find any GETs that triggered unexpectedly writes to the DB? I sure did!
English
btw as part of moving from Heroku PG to Planetscale we now have a small cluster with read-replicas...it was so awesome that Rails supports this
connects_to database: {writing: :primary, reading: :primary_replica}
autoswitch on GET vs POST
2 lines of config, just works

Eh?

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

Agreed. I’d bias to tracking state in db tables if possible, same reason I’d avoid AJ continuations.
Temporal definitely makes it easier to define wild bespoke workflows with a UI for visualization. Can get there with db tables and bg jobs but it takes some plumbing effort. Tradeoffs!
English
@dwestendorf does temporal give something you couldnt get with AR models/tables? just wondering because the more stuff like this you add, the harder the "one-person framework" mission is to achieve
English
You are building a Rails app that runs agent flows / pipelines so you end up making lots of blocking inference API calls
Is the future:
- Running a bunch of async jobs
- Offload I/O heavy work and get callbacks
- Something else
Consider that tool calls need to hit Rails app

Replacing solid_queue with pgbus : github.com/mhenrixon/pgbus.
Isn't every day I roll my own background job processor so figured I try it on one of my own projects.
Wish me luck!

That feeling when your CI is too fast🏎️ for your AI code reviewer and auto-merge ships the PR before the comments are made 🐌

If you're waking up to the Internet and your world on fire from the new NPM and axios package supply chain attack, I have a short 15 minute video to hopefully catch you up to speed. Links to further resources included -- video: youtube.com/watch?v=A58cV1…

@Shpigford @trobrock initiated this, but there have been a number of (meatspace) contributors since as well 💪🤖

does your team do anything around sharing /skills either on a project level or a company level?
if so, how do you do the sharing (git repo, dropbox, etc etc)?
English
@_swanson I’ve liked cloud66 form my heroku-like deployments. No affiliation.
English
You really don't appreciate Heroku until you look at other platforms. Just kicking the tires on Fargate + ECS and realizing Heroku is also handling:
- Routing
- Scheduler/cron
- Console / SSH / one-off runs
- "Building a container image"
- Env var management
- Custom ACM certs

If you’re a software engineer afraid for your future just remember the Claude team prioritized putting this tip in-app instead of supporting… ya know… the native macOS shortcut of cmd+v

@JasonSwett Those <ClickableInlineDivElement> don’t have native option+click support, sorry

Dear developers/PMs who make links that I can't option+click to open in a new tab:
You have failed at a very basic level and you don't deserve your job. You may find a more fitting career as, say, a toll booth operator or high school janitor.
I wish you the worst. Thank you.

What do people call their product demos channel? We had too many for our #general so standing up a dedicated space.
Looking for a fun name

Pre-2022 I regularly read 4-5x the code vs. the amount of code I wrote.
Folks complaining about PR review today in the AI age… idk maybe they weren’t ever very good team contributors?

If Tesla makes a car with 3 rows of seats, each with its own pair of doors so nobody has to climb over anybody else to get to their seat, they will create a baby boom the likes of which we haven’t seen in 80 years
