It feels like there's still a lot of innovation space left in designing PaaS api's and offering them to devs. Modal is def an inspiration. AWS/GCP apis cant possibly be the end of the evolutionary tree...
Concerning, as usual...
Very true. I prefer the deterministic path as well... for most ppl though the shell approach is just not going to happen, they're not going to debug and maintain it due to lack of skill... the LLM approach is the only possible path for them.
There need to be better feeds for genart... its kind of scattered across various hashtags

AT procol seems worth developing for
Can you build a PaaS in public? 😅
Sharing your progress, headaches, micro-feature releases, bug-fixing, family issues, etc?
#paas #developer
Love it! 🤪
Very nice

Ahhhhh if only something like that existed! 😇
- has a great CLI interface
- has great osbervability and monitoring tooling.
- Exposes its full capabilities via MCP.
- allows for UI construction via backend programs if one wants to do it that way.
- has first class support for SQL
- has first class support for 3D visualizations.
- allows one to play with generative art too and share it easily with the web.
- works really well with DevOps tooling
- allows for declarative definition of cloud resources
- allows one to go from dev to production super seamlessly
- is built by devs for devs
- integrates really well with a wide set of extern data sources
- has LLM support built in for app creation
I wish there was a highly futuristic visualization oriented data platform:
- that orients its APIs around generating imagery out of data
- is serverless
- super low cost
- abstracts away best parts of AWS
- has great programming primitives
- great UI
Most of the world population doesnt have the expertise or the tools to interpret market and economic data; or access to assets markets... both of which are desperately needed if they're to escape the poverty loop there locked in.
Fascinating to watch what's happening with the economy. It's not accidental, or incompetence, seems more like intentional crashing of markets so they can re-enter positions at a lower level and get the fed to intervene with stimulus/interest rates.

So glad this platform is growing. 30mil users! Awesome news.
Thinking seriously about doing some bluesky API integrations. This place doesn't feel like a passing fad; feels alive and like home.

Using a GitOps approach to manage resources works well in most cases. You define your infrastructure with files in your Git repo and then an operator running in your environment watches for changes and applies them. One important tool in this space is ArgoCD.(1/3)
I catch myself being increasingly optimistic about the software dev profession with the introduction of powerful AI's. Still have swings of pessimism, here and there, but those are less and less common... seems like the amount of software that needs to be developed is exploding.

Rapidly deprecating my classic long-lived servers for running services with lambdas... been meaning to do this for a veeeery long time, but now all the tooling and libs are coming together. Still wrestling with perf issues, particularly around db conn establishment in non AWS envs...
#lambda
Dealing with some interesting problems of apps/UI's that mix their backend sources (and server rendered templates) coming from both golang/py services, running in servers and lambdas.
Very flexible, refreshing to pick and choose envs for different parts of same UI.

Web3 UI's still quite far from where they need to be for regular users... decentralized stuff is complicated even for youngsters and tech pros, can't even imagine older people using it fluently. #web3 #ux
Decided to deprecate the whole publishing (gf_publisher) app from the gloflow system; it's totally tangential to the core image-centric mission of gloflow.
Feels great to remove such an unused part of the codebase, it's been too long.
Great product dev is significantly about removing features. I've been reading about it for decades, but it seems that I've only been internalizing over the last few years. Guess I've been too stuck in systems thinking to give enough attention to users feelings.
The urge to systems build is strong, but the urgency to product thing is more important... don't forget the user.
Its really tricky for one to go from a systems oriented thinking to product oriented thinking; but seems to be particularly important at this point in time in the tech industry, for rapid growth.

Used route53 health checks 2ith great pleasure for global resiliency. Agreed.
