Elon be editing the system prompt in prod

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported.

It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

Don't anchor your resolves to the calendar year. Just do them!

Anyone in #MusicianSky have tips on growing your audience that doesn't involve daily social media posting?

Feedback is great! Someone said that one of my tracks sounded like The Cure and/or Coldplay and it made feel confusing things 😂

The last time I did an SSR with a rails back-end we went with an express API serving the front-end application and proxying calls to our rails API. There might be a better, more rails-y way, but I haven't had the need lately.

Rails Integration | Vite Ruby Bringing joy to your frontend experience

Yeah! I use vite-ruby.netlify.app/guide/rails.... and ship my own React SPA, served as a static app and using Rails as the back-end, via API endpoints. Rails handles auth and sessions on the initial page load, but the SPA takes over from there.

4/ As far as Rails-specific grievances, even though the framework is opinionated you can still get into trouble by doing things wrong and its not obvious when you are making those choices. You very much need an experienced steward to steer the ship.

3/ I was also concerned about finding talent, but a) this hasn't been a problem for me and b) getting new engineers up to speed on Ruby/Rails has not been particularly difficult.

2/ I started to talk myself out of it with Typescript, deploying the back-end with the same language as the front-end and having true E2E type safety. But code/typegen tooling alleviated that specific pain point for me.

1/ This is biased, because I've built 3 start-ups on Rails, but I find that I can get a lot of heavy lifting done with very few keystrokes. The framework gives me a lot of functionality and opinions out of the box so I can focus on building and not configuring.

Obligatory "I don't know why but I got into birds sometime after turning 30" #birds #birdsky

I've tried to talk myself out of Rails a few times (for zero-to-something, start-up-y builds) and keep failing to finding a better alternative.

Was looking forward to seeing more Berard, bummer. Hope he gets healthy soon

When I first got my house I had a Trello board with now, next, and later columns. These days, the reminders usually happen as sudden realizations of "oh, I should probably check that out" when I'm trying to fall asleep

As a listener, definitely Tidal

How does #MusicianSky feel about AI-generated materials for cover art and other branding materials for your music releases?

I really like using DALL-E or Midjourney for tinkering with concepts and rapid ideation, but still can't shake the bad feeling of using those artifacts for the real thing.

Cursor is insane, give it a shot

Anyone using AWS Bedrock in prod? Very much interested in hearing about how folks are doing private LLM deployments for a startup in regulated/sensitive spaces.
