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. Excessive details in blog post: blog.cloudflare.com/unpacking-cl...

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.

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!

Always fun to get emails like these from @onlineornot.com customers

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.

think about your audience of course, but the *vast* majority of readers online aren't impressed by your use of words like utilize, leverage, operationalize, etc. if anything, you're confusing them. just say use.

Here's 95% of my job as a principal software engineer

Two abstract diagrams consisting of nodes joined together with arrows arranged side by side.

The left diagram has a label above "From this" that connects to the right diagram labelled "To this" with an arrow

The left diagram consists of two columns of 4 circles, each circle on the left column is connected to each circle on the right column. Making a tight mess of 16 arrows

The right diagram consists of the same two columns of 4 circles, but this time there is an additional diamond sitting between both columns. The left column of circles are each connected to the left side of the diamond while the right column is connected to the right side of the diamond.

There are 200 “to-do” apps because there’s 2,000 ways to do it, and which way is “best” is personal. From features to integrations to workflow to opinionation to brand voice. What other areas are like that? P.S. Those are often good places to start new companies.
