Fun! I was just reading about the star tracker in "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed". Really fascinating when you're thinking about how this all happened in the 50's and 60's.

Running the same codebase for 10+ years with a small team is what finally made me fully internalize these rules. I've always been a KISS/DRY person but over a decade there are plenty of moments where you're tempted to reach f

I'm working on Chief [1], a CLI that autonomously works through a PRD using AI coding agents like Claude Code. You write user stories, start it up, and it loops through them one at a time. Fresh context per story, progress tracked in m

We are also 100% customer-funded. AWS makes sense for us for the enterprise version of Geocodio where we are SOC2 audited and HIPAA-compliant. We are primarily using Hetzner for the self-serve version of Geocodio and have been a very happy

Hahaha. I'll update the post once I hear back from them. One could hope that they might consider an account credit.

There's a couple of great open source projects[1][2][3] that try to keep up-to-date lists of domains that belong to disposable email providers. I would probably not recommend implementing a whitelist for blocking purposes. But perhaps

We are mainly B2B so we don't really see signups using Apple's email relay. That said, it could be something we might have to consider blocking in the future if it becomes a problem. For paying customers, it probably doesn't

Isn't it nice to have just a little bit of an illustration instead of just text? Obviously an AI-generated image is going to spit out some nonsense text as part of the graphic, but we're not really trying to hide that it's AI

I would love do a more in-depth talk about this at some point with some more concrete examples.

Really excited for this! Had the opportunity to take part in early access over the last few weeks and the deployment process has been super smooth and insanely fast. I'm mostly just impressed with how polished everything feels and how

It's easy to hate on big companies. But can we just applaud Cox for having patched this within a day? That's incredible.
