Sandstorm had a radically more innovative model of hosting: instead of helping you host apps, each document was its own instance. This was really interesting, but as this article notes, did need deep integration with the apps. I'd be i

Huh? Which of the things on that list are only needed at the billions of users scale? I'll give you "service discovery" and "dozens of services", sure, but everything else in there seems like a pretty standard need

I wonder if this is overstated. Anecdotally, we use Vue at work and Claude and Codex handle it just fine. I'd expect Vue to be the third best-represented after React and Angular, but even then, we feel absolutely no need to change thin

What a coincidence - I'm currently reading his collection Labyrinths . If you've enjoyed the short stories of Ted Chiang I'd highly recommend it.

Dan's post "a social file system" also does a great job at explaining and motivating the data model behind atproto. It can do anything, not just microblogs!

Oh this is awesome. This is exactly what I've been too lazy to build for years now. We don't need a new syntax. SQL, PRQL or whatever else should compile down to the database's machine readable interface, same as language-int

Wow, that always confused me since moving here. I thought I didn't know what a Waratah was, but no, it's the logo that's wrong.

Reading this, I mistook it for a slightly different idea: using these functional languages directly inside the database process, avoiding SQL altogether. I've wanted to try that out with e.g. Roc and a reimplementation of SQLite's

While I'm sure some people just want to write code for its own sake, I've never met one. What I've seen is coders working in domains that vary in what is economical, coders who have varying understanding of exactly how much r
