@smhanov incorporated all of your suggestions - appreciate your taking the time! concert-programs.projects.jaygoel.com

@poundifdef I'm using my phone, that's why. Actually the landing page should have an example of what you could make as an image

What are you vibe coding? Post your side project. I will look at and review each one.

@smhanov Thank you! It's funny, I have #3 but perhaps it is not obvious/discoverable! Let me see what I can do...

-programs list page: needs landing page or an explainer to tell me what this app does - download pdf downloads a zip making it hard to see the results right away (won't open in browser) - would be great if I could press a button and see the result on the screen or always to the side.

@smhanov For the niche of people who use Fora for travel, a tool that uses AI to create google calendar events from travel itineraries: itinerary.projects.jaygoel.com

I've been writing these in golang and shipping self-contained binaries, sqlite for data, @ssh_exe_dev for servers, deployed via ansible scripts, and a splash of @claudeai

Two things I made recently:

@BStulberg Does this tell us anything about adults? For example, when starting a new job, does it benefit one to specialize in their particular role/function, or to become a "jack of all trades" and try to wear many hats?

A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.

@paulg Perhaps he thought you meant "education theater" the same way we talk about security theater.

13 yo just realized it's "feeder school" and not "theater school." Makes me wonder what kind of mental model he has of the world if he's heard me apparently talking for years about how aggressively theater schools prep their students, and not stopped me to ask why...

at a music school every week listening to the same kid guess his way through the thing he was supposed to practice

Six mistakes I made and one I avoided: novalis.org/blog/2025-03-1… [ These days I only use Twitter in write-only mode; if you want to reply, email me or find me on the fediverse ]

This is the purest form of a saxophone concerto youtube.com/watch?v=QyWhP9…

A regular plain old server deployed with ansible has never ever failed me. but every single PaaS has. as an industry we really made a wrong turn somewhere.

@flydotio Hi! Everything is down - everything I have hosted on Fly and the website itself. Help?

wrote a C program using a syscall i'd always wanted to try: splice(2). why? i needed to split a 2 TB file into 1 GB chunks and wanted to do better than split(1).

@_lukaga @wenboxie @supabase Hi! I am working on a drop-in SQS replacement. If I updated it use postgres (via supabase) as a backing store, would that be interesting to you? github.com/poundifdef/Smo…

@wenboxie @supabase We use them for async processes and automatic retries atm I have to use sns +sqs but I would love to keep everything together in supabase rather than creating new queues in aws everytime I need to have an async function.

Supabase gives you: ◆ Postgres database (fully managed) ◆ API endpoints (for every table) ◆ Auth service (think Auth0) ◆ File Storage (with CDN) ◆ Realtime (stream db changes) ◆ Edge Functions (backend logic) ◆ Vector (store AI embeddings) First two projects free. What did I miss?

Antoni Gaudí was born 172 years ago today. He's one of the most beloved architects in the world, and that makes sense — his style is utterly unique. But Gaudí only designed 17 buildings...

@chronark @DrizzleORM @ClickHouseDB Haven't tried it, but clickhouse supports the postgres wire protocol. so if drizzle's sql is compatible with clickhouse (and it probably is for the most common cases) then it may "just work"

@DrizzleORM @ClickHouseDB 👀 how?

I wish I could use @DrizzleORM with @ClickHouseDB
