Ooff, this seems a bit sketchy. We recently looked at GA runner alternatives and decided on https://avrea.com . See if you have a better experience with them :)

There is likely some reason why they all look the same and also happen to be some of the best performing companies there are.

Since they have a /pricing page it would seem their business is not to make it easy to self-host but in fact to make people pay for the cloud version instead.

Why are people so hostile towards BSL? Paying/asking money for great products is fine and if the product's source code is in git, the better. Not everything has to be _free_. The major benefit of OSS for many is that you can read

Sounds like a government intervention is needed and the monopoly should be broken down for a better functioning market. However, I guess big tech companies have become part of the superpower games (USA vs. China etc.). Breaking up Google mi

I’m curious, how does this project compare to slonik that is also a fast, lightweight, full featured, using SQL template literals etc ? Is there any reason to consider switching, for example?

Out of curiosity, where do these ratings come from? From the PMs? Or do you have EMs who just listen to the PMs in these things?

I already have a way to unify my messaging across different apps. It's called MacOS and cmd+tab. Sometimes on the road I use something called iOS. Sure it's not the same. But is it that different either? All messaging apps have th

It certainly ain't free or cheap if you are running a real business with real traffic and real customers. However, still totally worth it, easily. Just saying they have a healthy B2B business model.

The point of the switch-case is to mimic pattern matching and TS is smart enough tell you whether you handled all cases. Would you prefer that it's a if-elseif-else based structure instead? I guess that would work too but I feel like i

I've always preferred Docker for setting up databases and database-like services on a development machine because then everything is nicely isolated. i.e no need to worry about random files in /etc/foo, easy to setup many ver

Ugh a dynamically typed SQL database, no thanks. I always find I have to build quite a bit of a "data layer" on top of SQLite for example when using it in mobile apps. Also you have to build some basic stuff yourself like Enum or
