Definitely friends, not frenemies. I have nothing but genuine respect for builders out there solving hard infrastructure problems. We are primarily focused on our Feature Architecture. Durable execution is only for command features, require

Good question. Building for extreme scale constrained the possible architectural space. For a high level overview of the application architecture, refer to the seperate comment here in this thread. It started initially by realizing that our

Congratulations. I am curious about what prompted you to build a durable execution framework. We didn't know we were building one until later as that is where our application development trajectory naturally lead us.

Nice. Our architecture has had somewhat of a different primitive for years that yields the same outcome. Our application architecture is named The Feature Architecture. A unit of work is feature. A lot of common implementation can be deriv

The whole article reeks of paid propoganda hit peice. The author attempts to virtual signal as impartial but fails horridly.

Validation is shorthand for saying "I don't have deterministic skills or knowledge hence I will rely on user behaviour to drive the product". Works out for many people and usually ideal for beginners. But post a couple of yea

I respectfully disagree. Good content, regardless of who generated it, should be cherished. A community that is affected by LLM generated text but otherwise good content is not worth being part of. The corollary is also true. Hollow content

When English is not your native language, I find the accusation a compliment. It means my content was linguistically well-structured that people confuse it to be machine generated. What more praise can one expect :)

Clearly you have not been to India. I advise you visit a busy street chai shop in Banglore and see UPI in action. If you still have the audacity to claim that cards, an inherently inferior payment method, as forward, then I have nothing els

Types increases particular types of correctness. There are more types of correctness. Our apps are built on what we call features. Our own in house database Dip participates in the correctness enforcement exercise. We built what we call an

Which was in turn heavily borrowed from UPI :) Cheers.

Why should we, when we have more modern UPI?

by elendilm 29d ago
Clearly you have not been to India. UPI will make your card economy look ancient. Why should I have to carry physical cards with me in 2026. Almost all have a capable Turing machine in their pockets. Backwards means backwards. No euphemism.

In india, nobody cares about Apple Pay. We care about UPI. Every nook and corner, every person old or young, every chai wala, every kirana shop uses it. The constraints that plague the US is irrelevant for us. Salesman can scream the amount

Cards are so backward in 2026. To carry them should by itself make one shudder.

Its a bit lame in 2026, to attack the messenger instead of the content of the message. Its awfully similiar to bitching about reading mails on a computer and attacking the sender. The virtue signaling is beyond me. I dont care about AI;DR o

Recently went self hosted. Not going back ever again. Also had a couple of ui pages on our app to have full email functionality. This also means custom integration into our existing ecosystem.

Understanding is expensive. And hence valuable. LLMs usually points to the most idiotic future trajectory on my work, and I have to curse it inorder to let it keep up with my refined understanding. But what else would one expect from a prob

I am flattered that my comment was equated to AI content. English is not even my native language. I will take that as a compliment. Apparently you misunderstood. What made you think I claimed recursion as the key to better intelligence? Cle

Nice one. Yes. Compression constitutes necessary conditions for understanding. But don't forget recomposition as well. Add recursion to the mix and it results in recursive compression and recomposition - making understanding itself a s

Your take helps to ground oneself and not be swept away by the hype. But never forget, there is nothing in information science that rules out that bzip cannot develop consciousness. Sounding silly doesn't mean false. It just sounds sil

Buddy you haven't seen me be snarky nor insulting. That was polite yet informative. You are clearly overreacting. "ungodly numbers", false & violates economics - thoughtful to you. "source - trust me bro. <Follow
