I used AI to write a new feature. After it was finished and merged, I found a critical problem with the solution. It was easier to just throw the whole thing out and rewrite the feature from scratch, my way. AI can't pivot away from a bad design, it just brute forces a solution

Docker Run vs. Attach vs. Exec 🔽 Explore how these key Docker commands work under the hood in my most recent write-up labs.iximiuz.com/tutorials/dock… Why bother: A fundamental understanding of how tech works enables you to apply the knowledge to new domains and synthesize hard skills.

AI demonstrates the sunk-cost fallacy perfectly: Just one more "this doesn't work!" prompt, you think, and it'll fix it!! But often it won't, and now you've wasted 30 minutes begging that you could have spent learning how to actually fucking do it yourself.

Does anyone find Opus 4 to be too verbose? I ask it a simple question about "how to do X" and it spits out 8 different options with 100s of lines of code... Just give me the best one!

I'm a bit late to the game, but I've been playing around with @PulumiCorp's hooks and I'm having a great time so far! I'm able to implement functionality that I've been wanting since I started my BYOC project @QuestDb over a year ago

Did you know you can add a label to your QuestDB Web Console, so it is easier to identify instances and environments? export QDB_INSTANCE_NAME="🐧 Dev 🐧 Market Data" export QDB_INSTANCE_RGB=g

How much faster can a database get in a single year? We ran ClickBench on QuestDB 7.3.3 (Dec '23) vs QuestDB 8.2.1 (Dec '24). The results speak for themselves
