"@damndhruv So I was wondering why eg Bluesky didn't go down during this Cloudflare outage or the last. Turns out they use not CF but something called BunnyCDN It's an European company and has a rad website Outages like this are ofc very good adverts for it"

"Any SaaS product going open source risks another player taking that product hosting it and undercutting pricing for the same functionality. Eg AWS vs Elasticsearch So SaaS products that want to be open but not allow this kind of competition create new licenses. Eg I approve"

"Because @linear is a sponsor for the podcast I talk with the team a lot. One thing that is surpising to me: how massive of a use case the "delegate this task for agent X eg Cursor Codex etc to implement" is. Feels like issue trackers like Linear becoming "AI agent hubs""

"It's one reason Anthropic and OpenAI started to hire heavily in Europe. They hire from local AI companies with ease: offering 2-3x the base salary AI engineers + researchers make at EU AI startups. Founders of these startups are frustrated but it's the market playing it out"

"Also Datadog figured out the opportunity to hire great devs in France by paying well above the local market to the point that they can hire pretty much any dev they want in France They are now a $53B company with core devs still in France AFAIK. The formula is not a secret"

"Is this the final nail in the coffin of vector-only DBs AWS launching S3 Vectors supporting storing and using these at massive scale (The previous nail one was almost all relational databases adding pretty good vector support for not-too-massive use cases - like Postgres)"

"This is a fair take. Looking closer S3 Vectors feels high latency in the DB world (sub-second - which translates to hundreds of milliseconds. Fine for certain applications where latency is no the main thing. A dealbreaker for ones where it is)"

"The below post is going viral people treating it as real because it looks like a screenshot from a site Its fake from an anonymous blue check account. Its not a story that happened - but was written as plausible and to trigger devs This is what rage baiting looks like 👎"

"Not fair to generalize - but in general you see this a lot at Google. Engineers very strong on the fundamentals and unafraid to use them (incl build from scratch) instead of looking for tools to do the job"

"LinkedIn feels really desperate trying to upsell AI products everywhere. Rewrite with AI on the bottom of my every post (and so my LI feed is full of AI slop) Now recommending doing hiring with AI - when LI Jobs inbound is already flooded with AI applications and thus mostly useless as I hear"

"I always thought Metas goal was to devalue the closed models OpenAI and Anthropic has by offering an open (=free to use) one to indirectly undercut them. If Meta is going closed model they gave up on this strategy. Cant see much interest for a closed Meta model outside Meta"

"Repeat after me: Global immediate configuration rollouts are like playing with fire on large distributed systems (this is why DNS is so often the cause of global outages: configs there are unfortunately global by design)"
