Damn I just deleted another 29k loc https://github.com/VibesDIY/vibes.diy/pull/635 Code slows you down, always worth cleaning up. Yes, the business case is aligned with both the past bloat, and the current cl

I just had a majorly fun time addressing tech debt, deleting about 15k lines-of-code from a codebase that now has ~45k lines of implementation, and 50k lines of tests. This was made possible by moving from a homegrown auth system to Clerk,

The generation is running while you login, so this appreciable decreases wait time from idea to app, because by the time you click through the login, your app is ready. (Vibes DIY CEO here.) If login takes 30 seconds, and app gen 90, we thi

This is very much like Erlang's actor model. The same compute can be run in parallel, or managed via queues. With Erlang's strong support for FFI and process control, I wonder if it's being used as a dispatcher for these sort

if there is an ideological bent, or other driving reason -- write it up! make treatise / requirements document for someone else to implement.

I'm curious what your environment looks like. We have a bunch of open source options, but standing up a new one is always getting easier.

I didn't say enough about the ledger-like aspects above. Some databases have collections, some have tables, Fireproof has ledgers. These are the unit of sharing and access control, and also the unit of provable history.

Fireproof embeds in the browser, so you can add it to frontend code just like any other JavaScript module. It's useful for app data even without a backend. When you are ready to connect multiple users, that's when the backend come

CouchDB's HTTP API used to fit in just one file (less than 1k lines of Erlang), and it was a great jumping-off point for learning databases and web programming: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/0.8.

This seems like a textbook case where AI could let you have your cake and eat it too. Eg work in the easy 2d domain with maybe unstructured sticky notes. have a deterministic pipeline from 2d to geometric checking, with I guess patch points

P2P connection in the runtime will make a huge difference for apps - outside pressure like this (and React Native) is what ultimately drives the web platform forward.

It's cool because Erlang's functional design means F() is just as good a "top-level" context as whatever one you were in before. Eg this will smoothly allow existing requests on the old logic but start new requests on th
