There's quite a few AFK solutions that are out there. The OpenClaw form factor of using a chatbot to orchestrate sessions seems to be working for folks, based on what they're saying atleast. Simon Willison talks about using Claude

IMO Beads, Ticket, etc. give you optionality. Not every project needs to have Github as a dependency. Its added overhead and coordination work that isn't needed for every job. YMMV, and I get it if you're in a commercial/prof

Take a look at https://screenity.io/en/ , which is also fully open-source here: https://github.com/alyssaxuu/screenity While a Chrome Extension (not a standalone app), it does a fabulous job of rec

Wait... can't they use Claude to build this for them? :)

I just left a gig like this after two and half years (a leadership role at a 1-10 stage startup), and I have to say it was a overall a net positive experience for me. NGL it took time to get used to it. Being an ex-founder, it was doubly di

Svelte or Sveltekit specifically? I've had issues with getting the webextensions polyfill working with Sveltekit but Svelte works without any issues. Do you have any references that you could point me to on how to get Sveltekit running

Can I recommend you look at Svelte before jumping into more complex frameworks like Vue and React? It's lighter and a narrower footprint, but builds on JS fundamentals while introducing core concepts of component frameworks. This allow

I've run mail servers on EC2 before. You'll need to raise a request to remove the SMTP 25 restriction (both inbound and outbound), and also apply for a DNS reverse ptr update for that IP for it to work.

True, but it's not quite the same as what they've done with OpenSearch/Elastic. Also, from what I've read, despite claims, the compatibility isn't complete, esp with stuff like aggregations. There are a few use-case

Imagine if they went after Mongo next? Atlas is a virtual monopoly for Mongo solely due to SSPL, and it has created a ridiculously overpriced ecosystem for hosted and managed services, and tooling around it. Parking the technical merits to

Very nice. Especially kicked you've used Svelte/Routify to for the management app. I've been looking for a reference app for this setup, so thanks for that :)

If you're not valuing the equity if you're not involved, then honestly you need to look at this from an opportunity cost perspective. The trust is fundamentally broken, so it's not really worthwhile to pursue this as collabor

I literally highlighted every paragraph of this post. So many things to agree with. I'm really looking forward to the breakdown of much of what has been teased here. Top of mind: Is Postal the self-hosted transactional mail server ( ht

Do you have any recommendation for minimum sys requirements of hardware to effectively run this full-time? Considering the number of old Android mobiles I have sitting around gathering dust, this is a great idea to tinker with. BTW your ver

If they did, they'll have to stop offering the controller for free, but that would really hurty their SMB/Enterprise adoption.

by shankspeaks 7y ago
I doubt it would make sense for them to do it. Most of the heavy lifting is from the controller which you could run anyway on prem and for FREE. The cloud deployment AFAIK would allow for better multi-tenant management, and SaaSifying the m

I'm not sure if this all-in-one game is going to work. IMO, Unifi's hardware apart from their Wireless offerings is limited compared to other players in a similar price range. They should stick to what they're best at, which

Yeah, same here built a tool for Youtube about 12 years back as an experiment using XMPP as the messaging layer for syncing and group chat. We would buffer/pause video based on the video player state of the slowest connection, and stil

:) It's always nice to have our thinking validated. Thanks for the architecture reference btw. I thought it was something we cobbled together for our use case, but yeah using this pattern makes life so much easier for us.

We spent a fair amount of time going back and forth over whether to use Meteor or not for our in-house development (in late 2017), before we bit the bullet and moved ahead with Meteor. Finding people is the hard part for us as a business, s

I'm conflicted now on whether to bookmark this conversation or not. :) But in seriousness, I go through this cycle every few months but nothing really sticks. I've given up trying to change my habit. Edge cases always come up that

It also depends on how comfortable your team is with managing your own infrastructure. If you're not strong on the DevOps side of things, then stick with a PaaS solution to get started (even if it's a bit more $$$), and look at co
