yes, this is the proper use case. We hooked up fly.io's sprites mcp to our company claude and now all employees can spin up dev envs and actually prototype, verify or reproduce something before coming to engineering; doing it directly

thanks! I've been having quite a lot of success with your instruction today. Tried so many variants, best practises bla bla bla, but yeah this one seems be working quite nicely for me so far :)

haha no it's an old (15years old) abandoned enterprise app running on-prem that hasn't seen updates in more than a decade.

Yes but you need to setup quite a bit of tooling to provide feedback loops. It's one thing to get an llm to do something unattended for long durations, it's a other to give it the means of verification. For example I'm busy u

it's fairly bespoke, but some examples: ETL pipelines, we catalogue and link our custom transformers to bodies of text that describes business cases for it with some examples, you can then describe your ETL problem in text and it will

So we have an LLM code scaffold repo we use in a large (2m loc) production Rails codebase and it works amazingly well. Rails and especially Ruby lends itself to describing business logic as part of source code closer to natural language tha

I go in because it helps separate work life from home life, which I find benefits both positively in different ways. I prefer a hybrid work area with three zones 1. Open plan chaos, lots of people talking and going bonkers 2. Smaller office

Heard about MPTP a while ago, it was no 3 of 6 on this list. Some crazy stuff out there https://youtu.be/5G1eaNkzERE?si=ic71KlAtdVE7Mwey

There is the downside of having to maintain both schemas now. Unless you automate it devs will have to remember to migrate both when making a change which adds some overhead, not a lot, but it's just something to consider here imo as s

"what advice would you give to xxx" Other than a means to gain advice, I've found this question a good gauge for collaboration compatibility. I often ask it in interviews on both sides to give me insight into what someone cur

Have you thought about taking on the role of CTO? Not sure if it's a possibility or something you even want, but it sounds like you're invested and have thoughts around the role. Maybe if it comes to quitting..before you do that h

We've had success using DBT incremental models for this. Deletes aren't supported though, but for our use case that's fine and do a nighly refresh on the whole. Otherwise the best alternative would be something like https:&#

Yeah it's a bit of a shame they were bought by one of the cloud providers. Would've been great if something like Cruncy Bridge, PgAnalyze and Citus were merged into one company so that you have managed Postgres over the 3 major pr

Sad to see. We really loved gitlab, but the pricing was so horrendous for what we were using and couldn't be scaled to non-tech employees (e.g. wiki or just reading MRs), so moved to github and haven't looked back. Interestingly g

I don't think this is really comparable to 2008. Grossly simplified 2008 for me is more about bad debt, while this is around bad risk management...svb bought too many long term bonds which was a bad bet given current rates and an indus

Haha indeed! I've started with a very basic Ruby api client that can read and create dashboards. My plan is to poc a tool that allows you to edit metabase config as files and secondly something that can replicate cloud instances to oth

Ah I was looking for exactly this the other day. I'm try to build a git based interface to our BI tool so that we can get config for our reports in source control instead of configuration in a db. Was looking for something to read json

What exactly is the concern here? I scanned through the article but there so much...for lack of a better word cruft, in there yet so little about what the underlying issue is. Is it that AGI will take over all jobs? Or are we talking Von Ne

Living in a 3rd world country the experience is the polar opposite. Everything the government touches fails here and quite dramatically. You mention business efficiency being built on the back of a responsible government, but I've ofte

I think the fact you mention billable hours is telling. What about caring about problems and their solutions? Because that's the core driver for me. I often feel other programmers fall into this trap of technology usage for the sake of
