The resulting "combined" Codex + ChatGPT mac app is super confusing. I use the Codex app with my work account, but I liked the old ChatGPT app, which I kept logged in with my personal account, for my LLM chat needs. I guess I can

I think the only correct answer here is: It depends, on so many different things. Usage is definitely way more generous with codex and it isn't even close.

As a long time paying customer of DO, I don't know how I feel about this. I've been unbelievably happy with the products I rely on (App Platform and Managed Postgres). I worry this is an attempt to play catch up in the AI space an

I agree it seems better at complex work. However, I find that it often tries to make ALL work complex. I had a simple bug fix where I knew exactly what the 1-2 line fix was. GPT 5.4 added like 200 LOC and started refactoring the entire func

I also have always gone back to Claude after trying new models... until GPT-5.3-Codex, specifically with the new Codex Mac app. I've been pretty much full time with it for a few weeks now and have not missed Claude Code. It can over co

Digital Ocean App Platform is great. We switched to it from Heroku in 2021. It had some growing pains to start, but has been rock solid since. I can only think of 1 downtime incident that was their fault. They continue to improve the platfo

Not sure why the downvotes, it's largely true. Almost every non-techie I encounter in real life incorrectly uses the term "memory" to mean storage space.

I think it would be enough to simply move the 3 point line back a couple feet AND have it follow its natural arc out of bounds, thus eliminating the shorter and easier corner 3 shot.

Yes. I think part of the problem is how good it is at starting from a blank slate and putting together an MVP type app. As a developer, I have been thoroughly impressed by this. Then non-devs see this and must think software engineers are d

I used to feel they just served as a great auto complete or stack overflow replacement until I switched from VSCode to Cursor. Cursor's agent mode with Sonnet is pretty remarkable in what it can generate just from prompts. It is such a

I'm of the opinion that a single VPS can take you a very long way. Once you get to the point where you've outgrown that model, you're likely making enough money where something like Digital Ocean App Platform, as another comm

I've tried several times to migrate a few apps I have from Dokku to Kamal because I've been intrigued by all the hype in the Rails community about it, but I've always given up after an hour or so of unsuccessful tinkering aro

I find myself contemplating this more and more now, especially as my interest in discovering new music has declined significantly as I enter middle age. My biggest concern would be replicating the cloud aspect of streaming music. Is there a

I agree this is the correct way to use it, and it is incredibly useful in that case, but I think a study like this is valuable in the face of all the hype/fud about how AI Agents can program entire complex applications with just a few

The spotify app experience is what drove me away in the first place. Once they started cluttering the home screen with TikTok style videos and banner sized ads for podcasts I have no interest in, I left for Apple Music and have not looked b

The spatial audio is also keeping me with Apple Music, although I will say that while most are incredible, sometimes I'll come across an album where the spatial mix is laughably terrible.

I have been golfing in a weekly league for 10+ years and was frustrated by the complex spreadsheet our league manager built to track everything. I Figured there must be an app we could replace it with... While there were plenty, most were s

Awesome! I'm looking forward to trying this out. Currently I get this functionality by using PouchDB on the client with a CouchDB sever. Then on my API server I have some janky code in a cron job to sync changes from CouchDB to Postgre

I wonder if they're going to offer Basecamp with this model, and if so, how much is that going to cost? I imagine it would have to be in the thousands.

Seems like ATT may have screwed this up even worse. They seemingly dropped my autopay discount to $5 from $10 claiming that I am using a credit card, when I'm using my checking account as I always have for the past 10 years.

I only have two Apple devices, my iPhone 14 Pro and my M1 Macbook Pro, both in front of me when this happened. You can't enable this feature if you have a non-compatible device tied to your account. Yes, I was informed by Apple Support

Discord does has a "Forum" mode for channels. I cannot for the life of me figure out why no servers seem to use it. Trying to follow conversations or find useful info in a normal chat channel is incredibly frustrating.

A 2nd for Dokku. It's dead simple and works on any host. Yes, it is limited to single server architecture, but for most people this shouldn't be a problem. Vertical scaling can go a long way.

Especially if you can run your stack on their Ampere processors. 4 vCPU and 24GB RAM... for free.

Digital Ocean's App Platform looks to still do basic static sites at a reasonable rate (free for up to 3 sites). I've been a very happy App Platform customer, although not using static sites.

I'm curious how one goes about handling the need to query data across customers with the one-database-per-customer pattern.

I definitely get the dangers of kayaking in extremely cold water. Whether or not ads should be held accountable to only promoting safe behavior is another conversation. Also, he claims it is illegal to drink alcohol while kayaking in all 50
