I really wonder how dumb (or overconfident) one has to be to think people won’t notice a poorly designed thin wrapper on GPT 3.5 and release it in public.
A few days back, the dev team in the company hired a backend intern.
Yesterday, they gave him a task.
The intern said he can't complete the task now as ChatGPT is down
And he refuses to write the code for the job he was hired for.
Lol, what's wrong with interns now?

actually killed his production while we were recording this podcast to demonstrate a live production failover and that too on his bare metal infrastructure 🔥

Peak productivity unlocked today. Took meeting while getting a haircut.
The staff were the sweetest to stop music while I took the meeting.

More CPUs will def help to bring down the time.

Anyone who says "it's easy to blame govt but we as collective people are also to be blamed."
Just seriously fucking STFU and demand accountability FOR ONCE.
Stop your goddamn narrative when 1000s are dying daily.
Fucking shameless.
Tech Twitter talking about “full stack frameworks” and what not while missing the big picture.
1.5RPS is a joke honestly. Like a stdlib Go’s HTTP server could do 10000x of that on a potato VM.
A typical Rails app will serve up to 1.5 requests per second per vCPU. With tuning plus an optimized app, that can be up to about 5 requests per/sec/vCPU.
So these days, vertical scaling can buy you 75-250 requests per/sec for 350 a month… not bad. ~5-10x better than Heroku.
I’m 🤯 on how CF published the RCA blog post on the same day after suffering a P0 outage. And the post not only tells the issue but gives sufficient background context as well.
👏👏 Good stuff

neither gives bragging rights to indicate "move out of cloud". that term is typically when you run your own DC. this is simply switching providers for cheaper costs.
And every major cloud provider gives you an option run dedicated (another term for bare metal) instances.

I kinda disagree. When I was younger I had so much time to experiment with distros/tools/editors/configs etc. Now I just want something with sane defaults and good out of the box experience 🙈
It's actually the same thing with Linux. I know others feel differently, but I think most beginners and early stage developers are actually better off just using a Mac (or Windows). Less room for error, more guardrails. Level up in a safe space, then explore the world.
Yep, that’s precisely what I was doing at

Having a friend you can vent out to, trust them for a good advise and have no judgements whatsoever is a goddamn blessing. And it gets harder to find such people as you adult.

It pays off *much much* more to write better code, have a leaner stack and meaningful service oriented architecture than optimise for server costs by switching to bare metals.
Have you ever been able to cut cloud spend proactively? Also what prevents us from using bare metal servers in early days? (They might be a lot cheaper)
No, I am not looking for auto scaling argument here?
Programming is easy, but Java makes it frustratingly difficult.
Instead of business logic, Java makes us focus on abstraction & extensibility. A simple IF is required to be modelled as multi-level abstraction, because SOLID, whyy!
Verbosity does necessarily improve readability.
been a couple of months since Spotify didn’t auto renew and forced myself to use YT Music. I don’t miss it even one bit and actually find better curated playlists based on my mood.
Thanks RBI 🤭
if you're a big enough customer, they even suggest solutions and architecture revamps to bring your overall costs down (with no hidden incentives), which IMHO is not something other cloud vendors can even think of doing.
Talking with devs at AWS & AWS customers, one thing that AWS does better than almost any vendor:
Talking to customers.
Ask yourself: which other vendor called you, to want to meet and have *their PM* directly talk to you?
AWS does this all the time. Hard to believe but true:
Rockset leaving their paying customers with just 3 months to migrate should be a nudge to move away from proprietary dependencies for business-critical stuff.
Ofcourse, you can always learn it the hard way.
fuck.
@RocksetCloud
!! NOOOO!
Rockset is a critical part of our business, and giving us only a couple months to build an alternate solution for our DynamoDB analytics sucks bad. It's tightly integrated into our Retool internal tool.
Used Namma Yatri for the first time today. Couldn’t help but notice how it’s so nicely designed + clean UI. Gets the basics absolutely right. 💯
The open dashboards are also quite interesting to look at.
stop gatekeeping man! I get exploring the local food and culture and all that jazz. but one of the most satisfying meal for me in a 3 weeks long Europe vacation was to have a nice enough scrumptious butter chicken.
