Compared to Elastic's Cloud offering Apex Logs would be roughly half the cost. I forgot to mention in the post that it's 100% serverless, so there's nothing to maintain and no need to resize clusters as you grow. Kibana defin

How so? It's just a basic marketing site, nothing newsworthy at all

I installed Hey to check it out and it’s useless from the app itself, it’s not too surprising they don’t want bad UX.

They've been doing this for ages, it's nothing new haha

I'm good, I like to actually have data when a customer reports an issue... or you know, figure out why a system fails haha. Also, Sentry is logging, it just groups by a fingerprint.

I suppose it depends, but throwing out node and migrating everything to Go was one of the better choices we made at Segment, before the platform grew too large.

Personally I think css utils are better suited for layout related stuff, acting more like layout primitives (hbox, vbox) etc since those tend to be pretty ad-hoc. As far as concrete UI components go, I'm not sure this technique is any

Facebook pays for this kind of stuff? Why not spend the time incorporating a decent language instead of trying to fix the fragmented hot mess that is js

There's inherent value in supporting something with money though, it's likely to actually stick around and improve, rather than some hacky OSS project that will die in a few months.

Yeah $250 is nothing if you're building a real product, fuck these cheap developers.

Great job, this looks awesome! I wish something polished like this was around when I started my stuff. I'm not sure how I feel about Tailwind being almost 1mb of CSS :D, but it's probably worth all the time you save, especially fo

These days I think most people deploy static sites to a CDN, they get you such great performance I can't imagine not using a CDN, my site loads in 10ms in London for example.

You can definitely do that, but I find this appealing for development, just write some routes as you normally would and the templates all re-render etc, no need for watching file changes and re-compiling. But you're right, if you have

Yeah it doesn't work if you're relying on JS for interactions and layout, but wget's crawling technique works great if you're happy with using server-side rendering for content.

Just go to the VCs, they're pretty dumb, they'll throw millions at just about anything with a lot of GitHub stars these days.

GitHub stars will pay your rent if you sell out the hype to a VC instead of building a real company. I can definitely name a few startups that have almost no product, certainly not technically challenging or particularly well built ones, bu

I'd rather have nice command output, that could use a lot more love than this try() stuff, and maybe ditching the weird go.mod format it doesn't really add value—if anything it hurts because you can't manipulate those files w

Anyone know if this is what CloudWatch Insights uses? If so, it doesn't even come close to competing with Elasticsearch performance (with a tiny cluster), it seemed quite slow.

Dozens of emails / notifications, people pinging / bothering you on multiple platforms, multiple emails, etc. It's stupid to blindly trust someone's code, regardless of who they are of if they are the current maintainer,

Ah sometimes you get people asking to use a name such as my "log" pkg in npm, but bumping from 2.0 to 3.0 so that dependencies aren't messed up. Assuming the person has no bad intentions I think it's a perfectly reasonab

Easy for people who have zero packages and no pressure to say. Don't contribute to OSS and you have no problems. If these huge companies profiting off OSS work actually contributed financially and with time, maybe maintainers would hap

Not to blame them NPM, they're great people, but I often get requests from random people going through NPM support to use an existing name (saying they will bump major). The centralized naming scheme is to blame here, it normalizes the
