Came to share the same thing! I just listened to that episode on a road trip last week, it was fantastic.

Absolutely worth a listen!

Glad somebody noticed and appreciated that! Human written long form content is extremely important (to us, but I think for the world).

Every single email and issue reply is also 100% human authored. People deserve to interact with humans online, especially when they have reached out for help and real interaction.

Had to go through the exact same process of linking Partner Central with Marketplace. The console suggested following multiple video tutorials and linked to docs that may be outdated.

They have this AI tool on every page that links to the same content or references settings panes without linking anything.

As a library maintainer, skill and taste are almost equally important. If I can’t recognize inefficiencies, difficult to maintain code, or generally unpleasant code smells, then people lose trust in my libraries/products and it’s no better off than some recently generated slop.

Years of production experience, wisdom, and using something in anger matters for both skill and taste.

The efforts we've undergone to make Oban (and Pro) work with CRDB have been ridiculous. Feature detection all over because of a lack of common operators and functions that can't be used in indexes. The worst is the rampant "serialization_failure" errors that force continual transaction retries. Not how I'd suggest scaling Postgres.

That said, as a predecessor to dbos in building durable workflows just using Postgres, I concur with the overall sentiment.

The moment that OpenCode, after helping fix a Dockerfile issue, decided it was time to deploy to prod without asking for consent, I was out.

Nearly this, but using ghostty instead of tmux. You don’t get the remote connection aspect of tmux, but for splitting/zooming/preserving windows it is fantastic. The best part is you can configure natural shortcuts rather than using a leader for everything.
