Same. Sentences structured like these tip me off:

- Here's the thing nobody tells you about fitting singularities

- But here's the part that should unsettle you

- And the uncomfortable answer is: it's already happening.

- The labor market isn't adjusting. It's snapping.

This looks like exactly what I've been looking for. I just want strong typing, json <-> struct and validation. Seems like it ticks all the boxes + speed benefits which is always nice. I especially find it useful that I can use messagepack for internal service chatter but still support json for external stuff and dump astuple to sqlite.

I too have made similar observations regarding pydantic and FastAPI.

I was evaluating various Python async http frameworks and landed on a similar stack:

- attrs/cattrs for models - starlette+uvicorn for HTTP/websocket - validation I’m still on the fence about. I’ll see how far I get with the built in validators offered by attrs. I use voluptuous at work and generally like the DX but it’s in maintenance mode.

This is purely personally preference, I’m sure devs using fastapi+pydantic are more productive in the long run. It almost feels like I’m hand rolling my own fastapi implementation but at the same time I don’t want to be too locked in to frameworks like that.

Ive been burnt by magic frameworks that do too much behind the scenes and there’s something nice about fully understanding what’s going on when you hand stitch libraries yourself.

I’ve seen this suggested elsewhere but without content I don’t see this working out.

That looks interesting, I’ll have to give that a try thanks!

I also have a similar project partially done but lost steam (eatplants.app). I always think I should just finish it to make it functional.

My thinking is that logging food is annoying (weighing and tracking food you ate). I want to make a more fluid way of just selecting recipes or food and encourage a more scalable/intuitive way of eating.

Looks like a cool project you’ve built there.

I found this app a few months ago from another HN comment. Unfortunately it was slow and unresponsive. I started looking for other options and found TablePlus which I’m loving so far.

Hope they can improve, might give it another go once I have time.

This is blowing my mind. I felt like you were specifically talking about my place of work. Turns out (based on your github link in your profile), you did work there haha!

The 7 repos are gone now and a k8s cluster has replaced the swarm service. Deployments are a bit easier to manage now. It's still such slow development process to add a simple API endpoint, especially if that API has to call other DAOs. It's crazy because I feel like it's completely normalized here that dev work takes 300% longer than it should for simple features.

> my former company's webpack builds were 30+ minutes for a relatively simple site

I’m genuinely curious what simple site would cause a 30+ minute build? Is it just one of those things that grow over time?

I’ve always been curious - what if we imposed a law disallowing owning more than 1 home. Wouldn’t this reduce demand and, in doing so, lower prices from less competition?

I’m sure there’s other aspects I’m missing which make this a bad idea but there’s something that doesn’t feel right about people owning 2-3 homes while others can’t get on the property ladder.

That’s great news! I figured it’d come back at some point.
