Nice! I was just minutes ago writing a very similar pattern with zod and GPT. Thanks for validating my approach :)

Mixpanel employee here, I actually just emailed Jitsu this morning to ask about adding Mixpanel as a destination. We're willing to work with them (or any of you!) to get the PR open. Feel free to reach out directly to josh@mixpanel.com

I believe their value lies in their e-commerce partnerships. You can effectively check out (almost) as seamlessly as a using a credit card on partner sites. I used Klarna when I bought new golf clubs. They show up right on the checkout scr

I believe tech is still largely a meritocracy. If you think you should be paid more than someone, you should prove it with impact. If the goal of your education was compensation and your education doesn’t enable you to have more impact than

This is a concern with monorepo but you can still enforce the boundaries programmatically. For example you can add some simple, custom lint rules that prevent cross-boundary imports. Another thing you can do is have your CI only check out s

We have been using a small bit of glue code to write Web Components declaratively with Snabbdom for a couple of years at Mixpanel: https://github.com/mixpanel/panel . Happy to talk further about our experience!

Just curious, what are the reasons to be on "a bunch of metrics platforms"? Specifically, what are the various problems you were trying solve with different tools?

It's funny to me how many people are outraged at Facebook's focus on data collection and privacy "invasion" for the sake of monetization. Every company is using whatever data they can access to make as much money as poss

I'm pretty sure that the concept (or implementation) of virtual dom wasn't invented as a part of React. IANAL but I don't think they could patent it. Ignoring specific optimizations, a virtual dom algorithm is fairly simple.

It's just personal preference. I really dislike the lyft product because I don't want the driver to treat me like I'm his friend (fist bumping and what not). It feels fake, forced, and awkward. I much prefer the general exper

I think iterating quickly is great for product decisions where you don't know how people will react. Technical decisions, however, can be objectively evaluated up front given the right experience. I don't think a migration from a

Loose coupling is awesome and dogfooding your public API is smart as well. However, it seems like there is a lack of strong technical leadership and a lot of big decisions are being made without thinking them through. For instance, "We

One of the biggest shocks to me when moving to the Bay Area is the difference in social norms and acceptable behavior. I grew up in Texas and went to college on the east coast. For the first few months after moving out here I was in awe by

Although I'm happy to see someone attempt to do what Simple is attempting to do, I don't think any sizable amount of people will be willing to drop their bank and move to an alternative that doesn't allow cash deposits. I have two bank acc

There is certainly a line that can be crossed when it comes to over thinking OO. However, Dependency Injection enables you to write much more testable code where in many cases people would use static methods therefore breaking the ability t

For what Twitter is today, I'm sure they are. They are essentially the world's largest chat room except every participant gets to curate their own experience (plus it's all indexed). Maybe their revenue stream won't be directly a tech produ

It strikes me a little odd that twitter doesn't want to have a larger hand in their data distribution. Having some one else handle it seems like something a non-tech company would do. Scaling and automating the distribution to subscribers d

I think the larger problem that is touched on a little here is getting your team to buy into your vision. When the team becomes disinterested or uninspired in the long-term product, all the little problems start becoming big problems. Words

The whole weight loss approach described in the article seems flawed to begin with. The human body is an adaptive organism and will fight any drastic changes trying to stay in balance. 500 calories a day will certainly cause the body to beg
