Checked out your GitHub profile. This is an insane amount of LLM usage. You created 7 full-blown apps, and each of them is very recent. The earliest commit was only 2 days ago.

I'm normally against fully vibe-coded apps, but at this point, I'm just impressed.

But now, you can hire smart people.

That's only true in theory. In practice, you'll be rate-limited first. Even if you aren't, the database won't be the bottleneck because SQLite is so fast. Their Ruby on Rails stack will suffer thread starvation way before the WAL grows. Rapid requests still leave microsecond gaps between context switches for SQLite to run an automatic checkpoint. To actually make SQLite stall, you'd need an endpoint that lets you hold a massive write transaction open indefinitely, which lobste.rs doesn't expose anyway (I hope).

You’re literally agreeing that the parent’s argument is bad. I was just applying his logic, and I didn't draw any conclusions.

Wish I had this mindset. If I did, I would already have many published apps :(

Unrelated, but I noticed that clicking the logo goes to the current permalink rather than the homepage, might be unintentional.

Interesting. But, why?

I don't use typing for correctness. I use it for documentation. That's why I prefer JSDoc these days. I only type top-level variables/functions to get hints from my editor. Everything inside a function body remains untyped unless necessary. It’s the benefit of using Typescript without being forced to write dumb code just to satisfy the compiler.

That's quite challenging for a first puzzle, though it is a well-known mate. Guessed in 3 tries

Agreed. It's not just a placebo effect, it really is slower. People often don't notice this because they use relatively high-end machines. If you're skeptical, try running it on a low-end laptop or a Raspberry Pi. The difference is like night and day.
