For a webapp I’m building I started out with migra and plain sql, but ended up going with sqlalchemy partly because the library was deprecated. Great to see someone picking it up! Thank you.

I know this might be hard for some people to hear, but I want to share my thoughts to promote, in a small way, a common understanding of different perspectives. My genuine trouble with this kind of post is that I don’t know if it is true. H

I thought the same about xAI / Grok, and was surprised to see the Grok Code Fast 1 at the top of the list for number of reasoning tokens processed in Open Router’s state of AI report that came out this month: https://openrou

I applied and had the same experience you did—no confirmation and didn’t hear back. If I recall correctly, it was explicit somewhere that they would only contact you if you were accepted. With the volume of applications they likely got, I g

First Things[0] is one of my favorite magazines. It has perspectives I rarely see anywhere else, and generally well articulated and argued for (provided you accept Christian first-principles). New Polity Podcast[1] also regularly features s

Interesting! I can see this being valuable to retailers. One question I have after looking at the landing page--how does it work? Is this something like similarweb that tracks traffic and relevance? Or, is this something you put on your ser

Can you share a little more? Because this is outside the norm I’m hearing and I’d like to know more.

I know burnout can be extremely difficult. Take a 2 week vacation first. Make sure it’s 2 weeks (or more, if you can swing it). One is not enough. Actually travel—it doesn’t matter where. Just get out of your normal environment and habits f

Same here - I regularly google things to see what the AI will say. I never used to do that a year ago.

This is something I've never thought about before, and haven't had a use case for, so I'm genuinely interested in learning a little more about your use cases if you can elaborate a little futher.

I was pattern matching Carvana to a company called Sidecar[0] this summer when I heard my friend say he bought a car for something like $5k less than any dealership in town was offering it for. Sidecar was the "3rd company" that d

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yeah ideally we always use real resources to mirror prod closely, but I see your point that that won’t always be possible as the app grows.

Thank you for the reply. That makes sense… I guess something about me just likes the purity of running the exact same container on my local machine as would be in prod, but yeah I agree that at some scale that doesn't work.

The thing that holds me back from Google cloud run Is that it is difficult to replicate that exact environment locally for testing and dev. If you’re working with stateless apps then that’s fine, But what is the typical local workflow of de
