Those benchmarks from @t3.gg revealed some interesting issues in Workers. Happy to say it's all fixed now, save for some lingering next.js-specific stuff we're continuing to work on. Thanks for the reproducible test cases, @t3.gg.

as a bigCorp engineer I love k8s, but we have a dedicated team running it
for my solo efforts I prefer giving a dockerfile to a platform like render or heroku and letting them deal with config
i just asked claude to build an equalizer in c++ for my Tangara and it two shot it
(hit a bootloop that took some debugging)
my queer ipod now has MEGABASS 😌

the things people see you do are the things they'll ask you to do. if you want to get asked to do certain types of work, make sure people see you doing that type of work
that's insane
that's the same setup I ended up with hah
oh it's client side rendered, the timings above are just for loading graphql data
they're both in us-east-1, should be 20ish ms at most
Next step: move the dashboard over to the existing public REST API.
Historically it's been hard to dogfood the public REST API since the whole dash uses GraphQL, so looking forward to that changing.
I've managed to speed it up by ~80% with one simple trick: stop relying on GraphQL.
Instead of fetching data resolver-by-resolver, now I fetch all of the data in one chonker of an SQL query.

So this screen in @onlineornot.com has always been slower than I wanted - around 2.3s(!) to load 10 rows of data from the GraphQL endpoint.
It was the first screen I ever built (4+ yrs ago), and I leaned heavily into GraphQL resolvers because I assumed it'd be fast.
realised i was missing a pretty important empty state in @onlineornot.com today: when you search for something and there are no results
fyi founder friends — new scam to watch out for

every week when you've convinced yourself you just need to build one more feature and it'll fix the plateau just one more feature bro it'll be so good bro
this happens literally every time for me, the worst
TIL there are SaaS vendors that raise their prices automatically year over year for existing customers
surely that increases churn?!
Quite an excellent piece. Max and I don't agree on everything (some of our lessons learned contradict each other), but I love having my thinking challenged, and I'm probably wrong on some of these!
Numbers-wise there wasn't much uplift tbh, just the response from folks I chatted to after they signed up was surprising
you look like you'd be very good at "logistics"
oh I meant in terms of how many people drink it
flavour-wise its incomparable
we drink it in France, probably more like VB/XXXX status
An email from an OnlineOrNot customer saying: Yay! I’m excited. I had a call with our datadog rep today; told them their stuff is way too expensive and that I’m moving our uptime checks elsewhere.
Always fun to get emails like these from @onlineornot.com customers
