We did something crazy - we launched HUNDREDS of billboards for @Typesense across San Francisco!. When I first visited SF in the late 2000s, what stood out to me were all the billboards from tech companies. Until then I had only seen billboards from random lifestyle brands, and

PSA: If you hear a tsunami warning for a 3ft wave and think “that’s cute, I’m going to stay put”, think again. The *speed* of the wave and its *debris* composition is also dangerous, in addition to the height.
On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

Purely for old times' sake, I decided to google for a programming related question, instead of using ChatGPT & clicked on the first Stack Exchange link. I was greeted with a Google login popup covering some content on the top, and a cookie banner covering more content at the.

In Google Workspace if I click on “Report Phishing” it just forwards that email back to me, as one of the admins of the workspace . So I basically spam myself twice if I click that 😂.

"Call us for pricing" restaurant edition.
I’m at a cafe in Seattle where there are no prices listed on the menu. I asked if there was anywhere I could see the prices and the worker replied: “No, we don’t have that.” . Is this a new thing?

Signed up for a service and reached out to their support for something. Issue resolved, all good. At the end of our convo they say:. Oh btw, we’re using Typesense for search. Love running into unexpected use cases in everyday life!.

That said, I’m grateful for how dead simple deploying PHP web apps was when I first started with web dev. Seeing my first dynamic web page up and running behind a domain name with very little server admin involved was magical.
If Ruby were the first language taught in a programming curriculum, I wonder if those students would ever put up with the “line noise” (heard the term from @dhh in the @lexfridman podcast) that other languages’ syntax force you to just accept as in-escapable reality. Thank.

I’ve seen these kinds of spam emails land in our support inbox and always wondered what the scam was. Now I know. Thanks Tony!.
A very smart, malicious attack was sent to me and I think it should be worth that everyone take notice. A thread. @troyhunt . 1. It was sent to me disputing a charge on one of my websites, something that I would usually reply asking more details about the charge.

If you’re familiar with what Rails and Laravel bring to the table, please go tell your JavaScript friends about @adonisframework so they too can experience the productivity gains of a batteries-included framework.
Just discovered this Reddit thread The universe is slowly understanding and appreciating AdonisJS.

So many folks at @railsconf who I mentioned @typesense’s bootstrapped and revenue-funded journey to, suggested that I attend @MicroConf. I had heard of it before, but nothing like an in-person endorsement from multiple people. I’m now convinced I want to attend the next one.
