They really turned it around. You should check it out.

But yeah, super crappy launch.

Why does it matter if it’s coming from Airbnb vs some other business? Should the originating business crowd out interest in the actual topic for the reader?

This “both sides” argument is so weak.

The nice thing in this case is that Django will meet you where you are with your preferences. Want to go the manual route? Sure. Want it to take a shot at auto-generation and then you customize? Very doable and. Want to let Django take the wheel fully the majority of the time? Sure.

I’ve never been on a team that migrated to Aurora PG for raw query perf. It is slower than a bespoke setup that is optimized for raw latency, but Aurora is going to hold up under much higher traffic with much less fuss. It also has an excellent snapshot/restore facility.

I'm glad to let uv handle that for me. It does a pretty good job at it!

Auto vacuuming is enabled now. We did have some near misses due to long running vacuums that barely completed before wraparounds, but got things tuned over time.

I did none of that work but was on the team where it happened.

More than a few do not. You shouldn’t have to barely scrape by as a single parent in one of the most wealthy countries in the world.

The last line in the comment was a little petty but I don’t think I’d describe it as a Molotov cocktail. It sucks that we’ve ended up in this situation but Texas is an objectively more risky place to live if you are in the 50% of the population that has a uterus.

Had great results with my Dell XPS 17. Everything but the fingerprint reader works out of the box.

Quality went downhill since Lenovo.

Seen this quite a few times as well, but we’ve managed to strike the indemnification clause from various third party CLAs by putting our legal teams in touch.
