@gofishh77 thats a lot of rolls

Is this a deal? $39 Texas Roadhouse has this deal for 4 burgers, side of large fries, a large salad and a bunch of rolls. This looks like a good deal to me.

Things that make a great work environment Pushed to excellence I've seen both sides. Environments where you're rarely pushed to your limit vs ones where it's a constant (PlanetScale!). I'd take the latter every time. If you aren't being pushed, you aren't growing. Creativity Every individual brings unique talent that shapes the company brand, product, and culture. I get to apply my background in databases, performance analysis, teaching, every day. Many orgs don't respect individuality in this way. PlanetScale does. Surrounded by experts Surrounding yourself with people smarter than you keeps you humble + excited. I get to interact daily with engineers who built Slack, GitHub, Shopify + more. Longtime MySQL and Postgres contributors. Experts leading experts. Just build it Solving problems + building are valued over politicking. Growth is a natural byproduct of focussing on outcomes. Thankful PlanetScale values all these, and then some.

@BenjDicken 😎

This guy knows how to pick a database.

it’s easier to do hard things when you have a sense of humor

@skullface @DoorDash they do it on purpose and it’s against apple ToS

@DoorDash please create a setting on your iOS app to disable marketing/promotional notifications while keeping order notifications enabled. please please please.

Today was my last day @Shopify - it was lovely working with everyone and I’m excited to start @PlanetScale next week ☺️

it feels like every time there is a breach somehow supabase is involved.

@jonathangrahl move here

Posting during west coast hours is insane. Why no one told me?

@LundukeJournal @gf_256 there’s literally nobody more qualified

Remember the security firm that Ubuntu hired to audit the (ill-advised, highly buggy) Rust-rewrites of all of the GNU Coreutils? Turns out that security firm is run by @gf_256, who: - Appears to be a man who thinks he's a woman ("trans"). - Uses an anime cartoon of a girl as his avatar. - Appears to have an OnlyFans page. I repeat: Ubuntu hired a "Trans" man, with an anime girl avatar and an OnlyFans page... to audit Rust code. It's hard to get more on-the-nose than that.

@tberman let’s see how this one does

@tberman i was hoping to get more people

south carolina has the best bbq

the best texas bbq i’ve had was in Charleston

@narayanarjun the poors don’t need that route

@samlambert I expected at least the Sacramento to French Laundry segment to be operational by now

Infuriating to see such resources wasted on a rocket to nowhere. Imagine for instance how many miles of high speed rail we could have built in California for this amount of money!

@gethyper they were profitable from the very start

@samlambert Surely the sales and the marketing teams played some part? A great product doesn’t just magically become a profitable business.

Outside the first 20 hires at GitHub there’s very few people that can claim any credit for it’s success. It was a moment in time. A product for developers created by incredibly talented engineers with great taste.

@skeptrune 💀

@samlambert it's the year of the linux desktop after all

a vibe coded os x would destroy me

this is corruption

@BennettBuhner @thdxr @ryanvogel we have chocolate milk for Ryan
