> We've been profitable from month one โ every single month for 20 years. That consistency has given us the freedom to make decisions based on what's right for our customers and our family.
The dream.
Hugely inspired by your journey, Ian. Itโs something Iโd love to have for myself one day.
Those benchmarks from @t3.gg revealed some interesting issues in Workers. Happy to say it's all fixed now, save for some lingering next.js-specific stuff we're continuing to work on. Thanks for the reproducible test cases, @t3.gg.

Next project: AI agent for investing.
Based on my own preferences and criteria for company fundamentals, combined with some trend following technical analysis and breakout detection from pivot points.
An MCP server to allow me to chat with the agent through LLMs, and web UI.
I still need to get better at this.
I started reading software blogs before I got my first programming job 20 years ago. At this point, Iโve read thousands of blog posts and essays about software, but only a small handful stuck in my mind and changed the way I think. refactoringenglish.com/blog/softwar...
I have been listening to the Market Wizards books by Jack Schwager and I loved them.
It does make investing and trading seeming like a skill that needs a lot of work, consistency, patience, and risk management.
However, not a single strategy is best. It depends on your character.
Reliability is sort of like a stomachache. Itโs hard for people to really appreciate not having issues until you have issues.
Share your best resources, articles, publications, talks, about "AI in Databases and Storage products".
I imagine some applications are for query optimization.
What else is already being explored or would benefit from AI? Infrastructure or application level.
Finally updated the #SkybearNET landing page with the Insights feature that's been out for several weeks, and some stylistic changes.
New pricing as well.๐

I mentioned a few times that DynamoDB is among my favourite databases. I collected my favourite articles, videos, and its papers into a single place.
Great to go through and learn the internals of DynamoDB.
Let me know if I missed something.

BlueSky wants me to verify my age (seems to be a new UK law), and the provider they use failed at least 4 times today in different times.

Future in 20XX. Custom UI (websites, apps) doesn't matter anymore, at all. All devices directly handle multimodal input, and based on "intents" the service's APIs are called, and the response is converted to visual/audio/feeling (e.g. vibrations).
Hardware + APIs + Data, wins.
๐ Super happy to announce Hurl 7.0.0!

better ways to checks every step of redirections

new filters to templatize HTTP request and response

new curl options supported, --max-time / request, --ntml, --negotiate, --pinnedpubkey

Also implements a URL grouping mechanism so that you can get a holistic view of an endpoint. Useful when your tests are doing hundreds of requests with different resources of the same type.
For example, in the screenshot above, I am doing operations on hundreds of D1 databases.

I finally got some time to implement the "Per Request" insights for #SkybearNET.
You can now drill down at the request level and figure out how your API is behaving, latency timings (DNS, TCP connect, transfer, and total duration), alongside response body sizes and status.

100% strong agree! Some of the UK gov websites too.

I am a hard core fan of Claude 4 and Claude Code, but using jules.google.com for easy changes without having to leave the browser is super nice too!
Need to set up my remote access to Claude Code through Tailscale, but Jules is sufficient for quick things.
I decided to record a talk on agentic programming and why I'm so damn addicted to this. I think there are a few useful things in it, but I'm sure in a month this will be outdated :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfOV...
"Logistician - ISTJ" sounded wrong initially, but the more I read about it, the more it fits me. I expected the "Architect - INTJ" type, and in hindsight I can even trace back to the questions that probably tipped me over.
I find this personality test not to be very bullshity.๐

Especially facing the sunset in the late afternoon!
There are many drawbacks, but the benefits are:
1. Super fast SQLite access. Everything local, no network.
2. Reduce blast radius*. 1 machine downtime is not 100% downtime.
3. Scale out.
* Availability of a single SQLite file still depends on a single machine.
The ATTACHITE tooling will make it easy to figure out which server has each SQLite file, and handle the moving of the file to new servers. Mostly acting like a "migrator of SQLite files".
Litestream integration for backups.
It's a bad idea for most, but could be lots of fun!
๐ก Shower idea, "ATTACHITE: SQLite files coordinator across servers".
You like servers (VPS), and want to be able to use more than 1 machine. Shard your dataset across N SQLite files (N>=120). ฮTTACH them to the app to query across them. Grow by moving files to new servers.
