Love it! Fair source ftw!.

You can write the clearest error messages, with links to the clearest docs, and some devs still won't read them. Instead, they email asking why they're receiving a 403 status code when the answer is in the response body (which they copy/pasted into the email!!).

What inspires you to persevere through adversity?

The freedom of doing your own thing: eventually you get to say, "I hate this, and I don't actually need to do it.". And then you don't do it.

One of the biggest levers in SaaS is, really, just staying alive. Time in market fixes a lot: your product gets better, your messaging improves, your market starts trusting you more, and distribution improves. Happy 4th. 🇺🇸.

How do others solve backing up large Heroku databases offsite, to reduce platform risk? I don't like solely relying on Heroku for disaster recovery via their 'continuous protection.' Logical backups aren't feasible past 1TB. cc @jessethanley @adamlogic maybe?.

How has nobody built a Heroku addon that forks a pg database and uploads a backup to S3? I'd pay hundreds/month for this. I see @SnapShooterio but it requires me to manually fork the database before a backup and then delete the fork. I want something automatic.

You rank for the weirdest things when you write about tangential things on the company blog. "According to Keygen." 🤣

I was able to try this out last night, and it worked great. I had been putting off the upgrade from 15 to 17 because upgrades involve so much late night manual work, now I can schedule and forget it. Once again, there's a reason I'm still with Heroku.

The ebb and flow of burnout has been a constant my entire career (and life, really), and I've wanted to write about it for so long — to be helpful to others and to unpack it for myself — but I could never really put it into words. But I feel like it's all finally clicking.
