I’ve been pondering a deep dive into Keycloak or Ory. Or is WorkOS good enough for the price? I’m looking to centralize account management across multiple systems.

I think pi-mono ( https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono ) is pretty close. The extensibility is wonderful and a much better fit for how I work compared to Claude Code.

I’m in a similar boat. Many artists I listen to on Bandcamp offer cassettes(!) at a fair price and will charge a comparable price for the digital. However, I’ve seen some artists charge thousands for digital only but $10 for a tape that inc

I’m debating Typesense vs. Meilisearch for a project. My use case isn’t particularly complex so either fits. Curious if anyone has any horror stories about either

I am still working on tweaking how I work and design with Claude to hopefully unlock a level of output that I’m happy with. Admittedly, part of it is my own desire for code that looks a certain way, not just that which solves the problem.

I am coming back to this. I’ve been using Claude pretty hard at work and for personal projects, but the longer I do it, the more disappointed I become with the quality of output for anything bigger than a script. I do love planning things o

At first I thought becoming “10x” meant outputting 10x as much code. Now that I’m using Claude more as an expensive rubber duck, I’m hoping that I spend more time defining the fundamentals correctly that will lead to a large improvement in

My personal experience was that of a decrease in productivity until I spent significant time with it. Managing configurations, prompting it the right way, asking other models for code reviews… And I still see there is more I can unlock with

What’s the best way to stay informed about the typescript version?

by jprokay13 1y ago
Neat! I am going to check this out. I recently built an MCP system similar to this called Nonlinear (so clever) that uses SQLite for storage that lives outside the repo. Honestly though, in repo is the better option.

Claude recommended I use Tilt for setting up a new project at work. I wasn’t sure if it was worth it…is it pretty easy to set up a debugger? Not only do I have to adopt it, but I have to get a small team to be OK with it. Our target deploy

Yeah I find it pretty funny that so much of us (myself included) threw out strict documentation practices because “the code should be self documenting!” Now I want as much of it as I can get.

by jprokay13 1y ago
If you haven’t, adding in strict(er) linting rules is an easy win. Enforcing documentation for public methods is a great one imo. The more you can do to tell the AI what you want via a “code-lint-test” loop, the better the results.

Create a file like conventions.md in the root of your repository with specific commands for common tasks: running tests, linters, formatters, adding packages Set this as part of the files it reads on startup. Then ask aider to look at your

I’ve been floating around a similar set of ideas and it’s been very fun (if not all that useful yet) to build Did you try taking it one step further where a “recruiter” has to hire the engineers after a screening process? I wonder if this c

Do you have any recommendations on how to get started with Keycloak or just RTFM?

by jprokay13 1y ago
Yeah that was what I was afraid of. I thought I saw in the caddy code that they did a sort on file name, but I must have misread it. Thanks for responding! Edit: after looking more closely at sprig, the solve was sortAlpha

I went all in on using Caddy for rendering my website and blog, but I’m encountering a frustrating issue that I’m not sure how to solve. The feed on my site uses the listFiles feature to populate from a directory. I take care to name things

If you are going after enterprise early, I highly recommend putting them on their own system instead of in a multi-tenant system. Enterprise wants 30 days of immutable db backups? They need to be able to rollback within X time? They want gu
