Yeah, I see the Vercel logo, and I am instantly out.

The issue with this general rule of thumb is that we can swap Postgres for many others, including non-relational, and it works.

Thanks for your input, GPT-5.

The "everything can be done in Postgres" crowd is crazy. It is like a religion at this point.

By the title only, having gold bars is bad? There it goes my plans of buying some.

Time to scan for the current opensource copmmunity projects to migrate. Any recommendations are most welcome.

They are probably adding more trinkets to their shop, so you can buy them.

It started well, though. It was an analytics tool with a developer-oriented mind; it was refreshing compared to the competition. But all good things do seem to come to an end, especially when it is a company. They went full weirdos in the l

Calm down, GA4/Amplitude/Mixpanel.

PostHog was wonderful as an analytics solution, with its developer-first approach, good tools, and nice pricing. At this point, I lost count of how many times in the last two decades I fell for it, although I'm more used to it now. Com

This one has yet to enter my head. I read Martin Fowler's related article* a few times, and it is sound... But I still can't see microservices being so "complex" to be so avoided early on. Especially in 2026, with the le

Coupling is evil, as it is the main root of all the nastiest problems I have found in many projects I worked on. It is the main cause of "throw it all away and start greenfield" in my experience. I mean, it is important and needs

To be honest, "It depends" is also exhausting. I have some defaults that I push until the breaking point, though I apply this more often on personal projects. DDD is an exception, as even professionally I will vomit DDD concepts a

We need to consider new benchmarks for AI, where we compare them by their capabilities of knowing who is dead.

Given how chaotic the world of data analytics is (or logs... Or error tracking...), I imagine how this could be a better source of context without hallucinations...

I'm old generation and almost forgot for a while. GitHub was good even on their hands at the beginning, C# is amazing, TypeScript is amazing, wsl2 is game changer (which includes the change in Microsoft's position about linux), vs

I disagree. Diagrams are a type of visual communication, and not everyone is good at translating things to visual. I open an excalidraw with clear concepts in my head, but nothing comes out of it. I try C4 or flow diagrams, and I spend an e

I'm out of the loop. Do you guys use Claude subscriptions for Claude Code rather than just pay-as-you-go API keys? Is it cost related?
21.
by rafael-lua 5mo ago
It is not the making of the diagram that is the problem, but often the fact I have no idea how to put it visually. AI is awesome at this. Now, does that justify the harm? Not for me, but this issue is way out of my league.

Well, out of all the workflows I have seen, this one is rather nice, might give it a try. I imagine if the context were being commited and kept up-to-date with CI would work for others to use as well. However, I'm a little confused on

Are we still complaining about Tailwind? This ship has sailed. The world is so much better than the old BEM/LESS hell, it is wonderful. UnoCSS is even greater in empowering frontend developers.

And my ax... Oh, this is hackernews.

I use ChatGPT mostly for translation. It is amazing what it can do from Chinese to English. Sentences actually make sense and consider context. What are the most popular usages for it? Homework?

I'm not sure what you mean. Vue 3 is very healthy and alive, and so is Evan.
