Who’s the target market for this?

Tagging documents isn’t really a big problem. Companies typically only have a finite, handful of contract templates that the admin tags manually.

Nice! This was one of the missing parts of the Vercel AI SDK.

They increased prices, but looks like they finally are revamping the service. This is probably the biggest update in years.

A quick look at the Automattic site (https://automattic.com/about/) says they dedicate 5% of company time to WP open source.

Their GitHub has over 1000 repos, likely all WP related. https://github.com/Automattic

I don’t doubt Automattic is not putting in their fair share into the WP community.

I can see Matt’s point of view. Data transfer fees are expensive, especially at WordPress scale. Automattic probably covers a lot of that cost that wordpress.org is incurring and wants WP Engine to pay their fair share.

WP Engine also seems to do some other “not in good faith” things such as change the woocommmerce Stripe attribution from wordpress.org to their own Stripe account.

While the legal dispute is on trademark, I think it’s really on WP Engine profiting on wordpress.org without giving back. It’s not illegal, but blacklisting WP Engine isn’t illegal either.

Automattic is essentially subsidizing a private equity backed company. I’d be upset and frustrated too if I was in Matt’s position.

If you support WP Engine, you’re supporting Silver Lake Private Equity.

Those last 30 seconds of the video, trying to get the demo to work for a group of people is so relatable.

This article just looks like an ad for Bloomberg’s docuseries.

Separate Github profiles for work and personal.

For postgres, you want to use “bigint generated always as identity” instead of bigserial.

Really cool!

When should you use pgvector vs pgvector scale?

Is there any discussion about getting this added as a supported AWS RDS extensions?

Another model I’ve seen is a combination of subscription and usage where there’s a monthly base and then additional charge for usage overages. Example is Sendgrid.

I just used a Vercel template. Literally took 10 minutes from cloning the repo to getting it set up on my domain.

Do you add jobs inside a transaction? Or with a root connection? There doesn't seem to be an out of the box way to add jobs in a transaction.

What do you mean by system domain? Like technical, non-user facing services like CacheService and ObjectStore?
