It's a monochrome artwork so there is no colour assigned to the flag, rather than it being specifically black.

You can sign records in a normal database. Implement some segregation of duty and don't give your DB admins access to any signing keys.

I don't think these are comparable though. Compiler generation is deterministic and more or less provably correct. LLM code is a mile away from that.

I think Tachyons struck the balance to be honest. Tailwind's "functions" and combinations seem to allow a higher level of complexity where it becomes difficult to quickly inspect a class block after some time has passed.

This is a cool project! One small suggestion: the native blue links for the author name, "thread", and "reply" make the content hard to focus on as the UI is quite intrusive. HN solves this quite well with a colour scheme that has the comment content as the most prominent element in a thread.

> We shouldn't limit ourselves because of climate change. We should instead improve the technology and make it better so it doesn't impact the climate in such a way it becomes unsustainable.

I think we totally should limit ourselves from the idea that it's totally normal to expect to be able to fly anywhere in the world in ~24 hours and to do this regularly.

Usually I add "reddit" to the search phrase and try to find threads / user-generated and hopefully more organic content this way.

Really enjoyed reading this article as a Sunday afternoon long-read. Well structured and covers a lot of things I have experienced but haven't formed into such a clear description. Also really appreciate the realistic examples!

The styling of the nav and pages here looks strangely refreshing, props.

Meanwhile, we out here obsessing about making money on BTC...

Do you need a video to tell you to switch to the front facing camera to take a selfie?

Your line of thinking here really resonates with me. I'm building services on top of two bots right now that fit into this transactional "I want to do X in as little time as possible" category and I think Messenger bots are a fantastic way to achieve that.

> I think this is down to the sad truth that most developer roles offer very little challenge outside of learning a new stack.

This is a gem observation from this thread. In my own tech sphere the first thing developers are talking about with each other is the new x,y,z lib or framework they're using to accomplish something relatively banal. There's still a lot of work out there that really boils down to basic CRUD and reporting at the end of the day, and developers naturally begin to invent complexities on top of that CRUD to make the work interesting and challenging. I'm absolutely guilty of this first hand.

I've found personally it also doesn't help that past work on projects e.g. large Rails apps that were never architected well turn out to be such nightmares to work on. The memory of the end state of these projects lingers with developers as they move onto the next piece of work, and they're inclined to say "no that doesn't work" and pick up shiny new-tech to do the old job instead.

As a side analogy: most small business construction jobs, e.g. building a timber frame house, don't involve the builders arriving on site and are stumped by the challenge of how to put up the framing for the bedroom walls - there's also very little challenge in these projects, yet the reward is in the completion.
