Built a zombie game for Halloween! Free to play, no ads, multiplayer, and works offline! Enjoy 🎃

Asking claude "What would eliminate this type of bug all together" is honestly so cracked. Can't recommend it enough

Switched our CI to using effect tsrs. Can't hear my laptop fan anymore, so will need to find new background noise.

A few months ago, you’d have to swap to a new agent after 200K tokens or it started to go down the wrong path. Pretty sure I’ve compacted my performance agent a 100 times at this point.

AI really makes me feels like I can build anything I've dreamed about. With tech like Effect, Grafana, Grokbot, and Planetscale I'm waking up to PRs ready for a quick review. Lately the PR reviews are more for me to understand the wiring than code standards.

Come help make my @excalidraw mock ups better :)

My coworkers and I have noticed those who are top players in videos games tend to be cracked engineers. If you’re one of them, I want to hire you. Come build in SF with me, we’re building something incredible at @vitalize_care

Good companies don't hand their hardest, most critical projects to engineers that just walked in the door with a history of leaving early If you want to solve those problems (and add them to your resume), you've got to stick around and earn it

Proud of the entire team for pulling this off, and couldn’t be more excited to be on @PlanetScale!
In healthcare ops, infra performance directly impacts how fast hospitals can respond to staffing gaps. Supabase was good for early stage. It helped us move fast. But as we scaled across major health systems, we hit limits around connection pooling and unpredictable latency under load. We just migrated Vitalize from Supabase to @PlanetScale Postgres: Zero downtime. 400GB. 150M+ rows. Now: P95 latency: 2ms 200GB JSONB reads: ~1.2s, down from ~50s Fewer resources, far more predictable performance vitalize.care/blog/from-supa…

The self control I’m practicing by not upgrading our code base right now. So excited for V4!

This month I've been really trying out LLMs. Coding like this feels magical, but also scary. Got burned from trusting the LLMs too much earlier on in the month, but feel like I have good commands now and plenty of human in the loop intervention to keep it on a straight path.

Even with lots of human in the loop intervention, I feel like my code quality has gone down. Things are a lot more verbose, the if statements can run deep. Need to figure out how to reign those in. On the bright side, I've never added as many tests in my life.

Any tips on limiting context when cursor is fixing tests? I find it easily eats up a lot of my tokens, especially in bigger test files with a lot of concurrency.
