The Taker-Talker tends to use up the good Makers. The Talker-Maker does their best to protect their Makers. Makers who forget how to make are ... unhappy Talkers. Why? Because there is something inside a Maker that lights up when they make. So Makers gotta make.

Continuing the semantic code-folding design exploration. Instead of showing the typical "..." button, it shows an LLM summary of what's folded. Like "calculate 30-day revenue" for a collapsed CTE. Not sure if this would be useful yet.

A lot of people say AI will make us all "managers" or "editors"...but I think this is a dangerously incomplete view! Personally, I'm trying to code like a surgeon. A surgeon isn't a manager, they do the actual work! But their skills and time are highly leveraged with a support

This advanced optimization basically makes optimization (SSR) speed independent from the amount of pages (with variations) you have. Great for large sites with A/B testing and multiple languages. We even pre-render your top pages. Blog post soon. Great work @heypiotr
