You probably don't need a fancy cloud CI setup. For @heyhey, we can run our 30,000 assertions in about 1m20s on a modern AMD desktop chip, and the rest of the workflow is super quick too. PRs are unlocked for merging with our soon-to-be-released gh signoff extension.
@heyhey Of course this doesn't work if you're Shopify or GitHub or another megadon app. But HEY is nearly 100,000 lines of code. So not exactly a toy app either 😄

Apple was asked by the judge to give up almost nothing in the first round of this lawsuit. They refused. Now they have to give up everything. Epic win by @TimSweeneyEpic and @MarkRein. Justice prevails in the end. Incredible day for app developers everywhere 🪩
Judge is also referring Apple and Finance VP Alex Roman to the US Attorney for potential criminal prosecution due to their contempt of court!! Incredible fumble by Apple. So hellbent on screwing over devs that they were willing to risk a criminal case rather than budge an inch.
The nonsense of charging developers 30% commission on links to their own websites and reserving the right to audit their books is key to this contempt of court ruling. It truly was an outrageous, monopolistic overreach. Amazing to see the judge call it as such.
This is Danish police celebrating that they ticketed 64 bicyclists who drove instead of dragging their bike on a pedestrian walkway to avoid construction. This is broken-windows theory on steroids, and it's produced one of the safest metropolitan cities in the world.
Copenhagen does all over. The metro is constantly patrolled for fare-evaders. And if you're disturbing the public order, you'll quickly see the cops there. As a result, the city is full of kids and young adults who are safe to roam, even at night.
This is the fundamental flaw of suicidal empathy. When you allow crackheads, bums, and other antisocial elements to get away with their shit, you're trading their freedom for the freedom of everyone else. The Danes never bought into that bullshit and reap social trust in return.
I don't think Zuckerberg has yet earned any right to an assumption of good faith, but it's also not hard to see WHY he'd wait taking a stand until it didn't risk his company being subject to more governmental retaliation. Not everyone has Musk's iron balls and risk tolerance!
This is why the woke era was so stifling. Companies and CEOs across the board were cowed into compliance with the new religion, because the pressure -- from the sitting regime, NGOs, and even just The Vibe -- was so tough. Everyone wants to think they'd be the hero. Laughable.
I can tell you from our experience with this pressure that even when you have far less at stake, far fewer users, far fewer stakeholders, it was still the most extreme pressure test we'd ever faced. No fucking wonder almost nobody wanted to go through that! Even Zuckerberg.
If you're not doing over a million dollars in ARR for your SaaS app, you almost certainly don't need more than a single server. Chasing a 99.99% uptime in those early days by prematurely optimizing your resilience is a vast of effort that could have fueled features and bug fixes.
The resilience math on splitting out your boxes early doesn't even math. If one box has a 99% uptime, and you only need that, your system will have 99% uptime. If your system needs three boxes (app, db, jobs), and they're all required, your system will have 97% uptime.
There's a huge death valley between the one machine and the many. You will INCREASE your likelihood of an outage from infrastructure complications as you split-out services (dbs, caches, jobs) EVEN WHEN ADDING REPLICAS, as it's the config and interconnects that'll fail you.
OMAKUB turns a fresh Ubuntu installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system by running a single command. It's what I use for my work, and it's a great way to get started with Linux. Enjoy!
This is the culmination of all those countless of hours discovering the wonderful world of Linux, TUIs, themes, and bash! If I was going to make my ideal Linux setup, I might as well encode it down to the last gsettings config in a project that others might enjoy too.
Apple is speed-running the fastest destruction of goodwill with developers I've ever seen in 40 years of computers. It took Microsoft much longer to poison the pond in the 90s. It's really a sad sight.
It's so sad because Apple has such strong intrinsic advantages with developers. The best mobile chips, amazing screens, highly polished unix-based OS, and a guiding sense of taste. But all those advantages are being overtaken by their brazen hubris and squeeze-the-lemon tactics.
Even if you're still all-in with Apple, it would behoove you to identify your nearest exit. Maybe you think Epic deserves it, maybe you think Apple is owed it, but you will have a line SOMEWHERE. Know where to go if/when it's crossed.
