I'd probably say Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games continues to be massive with the cyclical relationship between movies and books. Then Douglas Adams, Orwell. Otherwise, I'd be interested in non-Anglosphere numbers too - Sergei Lukyanenko and Liu Cixin etc.

Today we introduce TIN: a powerful and reliable full-text search extension for Postgres. TIN works with complicated WHERE clauses, replication, backups, and maintains correct transaction visibility. It's also mind-blowingly fast.

Neki, horizontal sharding for Postgres, is available today. Join us tonight for a first look at Neki with talks on Neki's architecture, why you should shard, the lifecycle of a query, and data movement between shards.

Designing for this feels pretty alien - there is nothing to look at. Classic ideas of UX go out the window. At best you could probably get away with only providing a CLI client of some sort for convenience.

One of the stranger things we're seeing is the rise of fully headless apps. No UI, not even really intended to be used by a human. OpenAPI specs, llms.txt and robust documentation (using diataxis.fr) is all you need. Provide metrics/logs endpoints etc.

Been trying to work this one out. I think it's all in engine? Using the TAS data and geometry slices, and triggering animations/game state as normal (e.g. grabbing Bowser), but with a locked position?

If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.

So. I don’t have a job anymore. Company just did layoffs yesterday. I have all kinds of experience, but would prefer to be in Ops land. I have experience in bash, regex, dns, networking, all kinds of monitoring platforms, AWS, terraform, docker…

I worry a little that beyond open source, AI re-implementation will mean less technical blogging on novel approaches to problems, or with such little detail as to be pointless.

I now join the chorus of folks looking for a job. I’ve got some software and systems engineering expertise, some AI/ML expertise, and I’ve been in a business seat for the past few years, meaning I know a lot more about how GTM, sales, etc works than I did. Let me know if you’d like to talk.
