Hands down,
@zeddotdev
is by far the most powerful code editor I have ever used. The speed at which it works, and the power of using GPUI is incredible.
I can only wish that someday, 99% of the apps are built with care.

You might run a company with 10,000 people. But it is always lonely at the top. For the CEO. Only the strong would stay there. Consistently for years. If you are a CEO, remember, there’s a support group with one member in it, which is me.

It's been less than 10 hours since we went live with
@planetscaledata
for
@hellonexthq
, and the amount of insights we've been receiving is incredible. These are some thing that might have gone unnoticed with the painful RDS Console. Great time to be a founder.
Just when we were ready to go live with
@planetscaledata
, we experienced three major bugs.
1. Unable to import
2. An isolated bug with only our account
3. DB host is not generated
This gets me thinking whether it is worth the migration since it is production data 🧵

If you are hosting prod app on

1. Be nice. And respect others.
2. No inside jokes that might have people wondering what that is.
3. Compress content as much as you can.
4. Speak about the topic. Not drive off of it.
5. Stay non-judge mental about others’ questions or laugh at it.

The moment you lose interest in your job, it shows. After that, it is just an uphill battle. Every effort you put in, is for someone else. Not for your own learning. That, is exactly when you quit, or get fired.
