Repost, but this trick still works incredibly to speed up deploys using Docker
I sped up my Kamal deploys by nearly 2x with Optimistic Builds™
The problem: most of the deploy time is waiting for the Docker image to build. But CI usually passes anyway, so why wait?
The fix:
1️⃣ Build the image in parallel with CI and pre-pull it to the server
2️⃣ Once CI passes, deploy the already-pulled image

@marckohlbrugge lots of makers ship stuff with no website at all, just a cli in a repo or an app store page. how do those get the checkmark?
AI accelerates convergence towards the best UX
For example, I notice that many signup flows of new websites are very similar (enter email address, receive 6-digit code, etc).
Before AI, everyone was already kinda copying best practices from each other. But it was time consuming to do that research or make changes to an existing pattern
Now those things become so cheap and the defaults of AI become so good, that we all end up with similar UX flows, etc

Really cool to see some innovation in this space
Me and my friends tried to make this type of social e-reading product back in late 2000s, but it was impossible back then due to licensing restrictions and many publishers still being scared of ebooks and piracy
Seems like now might be the time
Hope they build an e-ink reader next and compete head on with Amazon who’s been sitting on their ass enjoying their monopoly for too long

time to secure your API credentials:
- a different, named key for every use case
- set a budget cap
- limit scope to just what it needs
- limit access to just your server IP address
- set expiration dates
anything else?

when you see an “expert” in the media talk about a topic you’re quite familiar with, it really makes you question all their other “experts” for all the other topics
No wonder people think PHP is dead.
Turns out... nope.
claude -p "Rewrite this entire PHP codebase in idiomatic Rust, preserving all existing functionality, APIs, database behavior, and business logic. Analyze the architecture first, migrate systematically, add tests, and ensure the final project compiles and passes all tests. Do not stop until the migration is complete."
Crisis averted. You’re welcome.

Wasn’t expecting to see this happening to Adobe products so soon 😂

Looks like .ai might be going out of fashion sooner than we thought
Long term I’m not a fan of .ai however.
AI will be part of most software. Once it stops becoming a differentiating feature it loses its branding value.
Same way we no longer use the words “internet” and “digital” in product names.
