May 07 @joeldrapper Oh I know, believe me! Just think there’s a lot of misconceptions about heroku so thought it was worth mentioning https://t.co/2Syx337SFk 0 0 0 0 152 .
May 07 @joeldrapper Not sure when you last used heroku but unless you need a bunch of services it’s actually pretty reasonable. I manage 12 orgs on there and on average it’s about $200/month for apps with traffic. (I’m also very pro VPS but of the PaaSes heroku is IMO still best and not as pricy as… 4 0 0 0 293 .
May 07 Just found out that yc is back to in-person since '22, and now I feel bad for the lukewarm advice I gave to people on whether they should apply (I was in the remote batch and was quite disappointed). If I said this to you you can safely ignore - I'm guessing an in-person yc would https://t.co/uj7WTjQtWo 6 0 1 681 298 .

Apr 29 One thing I would add though - I think many systems, even as they grow, have *artificial* complexity inflation - many cases where a system could be managed by a junior/mid with 5 to 10 minutes/day of senior oversight. https://t.co/DRtfFMkZ8W 3 0 0 158 242 .

Apr 26 Banking System is so f**ked. Trying to pay several contractors that we've been paying for months. Now @RevolutApp is just insta-failing them - no actionable response on Live Chat, no way to get support. So fucking frustrating. https://t.co/iMZzD1L8LM 2 0 1 481 250 .

Apr 24 @steveruizok How would a pizza get ordered without eventually having to hit an API/Browser, even if through a CLI? 0 0 0 0 114 .
Apr 24 Still think for the "AI virtual assistant" to hit a value threshold where it becomes widespread the API orchestration model is too limited - there are so many things that APIs only still can't do. https://t.co/KMUqMjuPUs 1 0 0 147 221 .
Apr 24 @meijer_s Ah I see, yeah that's a fair point around positioning 0 0 0 0 63 .
Apr 24 I'd go a step further and say that a cloud based remote-controlled browser is *the thing* in the short term that unlocks the real "AI VA" use case - there simply won't be sufficient API coverage to do everything you can in a browser. But Rabbit's marketing was based on a "Large Action Model" which if this turns out to be true, was dishonest. 1 0 2 438 343 .
Apr 24 It's interesting how people can interpret the same thing so differently. My experiences - personal, family, friends - is that it's basically impossible to get half-decent, reasonably affordable therapy - not the thing I'd be calling for *more* regulation on. Personally don't think the AI chat tool is appealing. If it were the case that the alternatives were abundant and affordable then *maybe* would say this kind of thing is harmful. Otherwise this seems like a good example of "It's the worst thing we have, apart from every alternative" 0 0 2 923 546 .

Apr 18 @ToKTeacher I think you have the psychology wrong on this.

Apr 17 @destraynor I feel you guys are leaning into this trope in a way that comes off as needlessly us-vs-them. It can be true that building is hard and should be lauded, and people get bad reviews for missing the mark.

Apr 15 @dvassallo @syg1ll I can see why you’d come to that conclusion if you’re assuming he’s using the video title for more likes - like most other YouTubers. Having watched a lot of this stuff I don’t think that’s how he operates, which ironically is why he has the trust and power he does. 15 0 0 0 285 .
Apr 15 @joeldrapper Ouch! Personally find raw html with a little bit of erb to be the clearest, most maintainable way to do it. Although I'd agree when it comes to Rails frontend stuff e.g. <%= turbo_frame_tag %> Also agree that I'm in a minority and you're probably right that many prefer react 2 0 0 0 295 .
