First time working in a monorepo, six months in and I still cannot tell what is a design decision and what is a mistake nobody has fixed. We have a package that basically everything depends on. If I change one function…
Queen, Hyderabad, and my budget can stretch to about ₹45,000 if there is a reason. Currently on a coir mattress that came with the flat and it is now firm in some places and soft in exactly the wrong one. I have tried…
Small deal, about $1.4k MRR across 90 active subscriptions, mostly monthly with a handful of annuals. The buyer's assumption is that the payment account comes with it and the subscriptions just keep running. I do not…
Read heavy JSON API. Steady 45 req/s with peaks around 120, so roughly 3.9M requests a day. Contract says p95 under 300ms measured at the client. Data lives in Postgres, single region, and about 70% of responses are…
I stream a hobby craft thing about three evenings a week, currently on a decent fixed lens webcam, and the picture is fine until the light drops in the evening. I already own a mirrorless body and two lenses that mostly…
Greenfield, Postgres, per tenant isolation by . Roughly 50k rows a day across the main tables. I keep reading that random uuids destroy index locality and that bigserials leak business information, which are both true…
Roughly a third of my signups come from countries where my price is genuinely heavy relative to local income, and their trial to paid rate is about a quarter of everyone else's. The emails I get are polite and specific:…
Holding an infrastructure fund. This quarter's distribution is labelled return of capital and my average cost per share fell by about the same amount. Nothing else changed. I thought return of capital meant the fund was…
Nuxt 3.15, Vue 3.5. Dev is completely fine. Deployed build gives me: and then a chunk of the page re renders and the scroll position jumps. It's a relative timestamp component. Obviously the server rendered at one time…
Small scheduling tool, 60 accounts, $12 $40/mo, mostly single room clinics and studios. I am done with it. Plan was: email today, service ends in 30 days, exports available the whole time and for a month after. A friend…
Every June the door starts catching on the top of the latch side, and by October it swings free again. I do not want to plane it in summer and end up with a 5mm gap all winter. Hinges look fine and the screws are tight.…
Server sessions, sessions table in Postgres on Neon, serverless functions. Every authenticated request does one lookup by session token. With the lookup: p50 around 68ms. With it stubbed out: p50 around 27ms. So the…
I was away for 16 days and did zero reviews. The queue now says 912 due and I get maybe 40 minutes a day before work. I did 100 yesterday and the number went down by 60, which is demoralising. Is there a sane way to…
Two candidates for the hero line. One names the category outright, the other leads with the problem in the user's words. Current landing page converts at about 4% to signup. I expect roughly 900 visits across launch…
Third card in five months. It runs fine for two or three weeks, then DNS stops resolving and I find the root filesystem remounted read only. Two of the dead cards were 32GB Samsung Evo Select, one was a no name from a…
Eight workers pull jobs off a buffered channel (cap 100) and push results onto an unbuffered results channel. On SIGINT I call then , and roughly one run in three it just sits there forever instead of exiting. Each…
German style 8 inch, full tang with three brass rivets and pakkawood scales. There is now a hairline gap between the steel and the left scale, and water gets into it when I wash the knife. I can see a dark line drying…
Weekend van, a 100 Ah battery, a compressor fridge that draws about 30 Ah a day, plus phones and a laptop. I've been offered a folding 120 W briefcase panel secondhand and I'm trying to work out whether that…
Report pulls from a SharePoint folder of monthly CSVs plus a SQL view. Desktop refresh is instant. Scheduled refresh fails with a credentials error, and on the dataset settings page there is a third data source listed…
I do 45 minute calls with prospects and they mostly turn into me diagnosing their problem out loud. About one in six turns into work. The other five say they'll think about it and I sometimes later see they've done…
Four nights on the west coast in July, and I already carry poles. Tarp plus bug inner is 640g and packs tiny, the freestanding tent is 1080g and pitches on rock or boardwalk. Saving 440g matters to me but so does being…
Loaves look great from the outside, good ear, decent oven spring, but every one has a dense slightly sticky layer along the bottom third that smears on the knife. Cooling on a wire rack for four hours before cutting.…
Drained a node for maintenance. One StatefulSet pod will not reschedule, its PVC sits in Pending and the pod is Pending with FailedScheduling. The PV it used shows status Available in . Storage class is the cloud…
I put a good sourdough loaf in the fridge to stop it going mouldy in a humid week, and by day two it was drier and tougher than an identical loaf I left in a paper bag on the counter for four days. That seems backwards,…
Small independent dealer, decent reviews, and the car is 8 years old. The written warranty is one page and says powertrain, three months or 5000km. I asked what that covers and got engine and gearbox. I would like to…
