It’s had horrific uptime, to the point of hitting 88.x uptime percentage.

This is likely on the back of Mitchell Hashimoto (Hashicorp founder) announcing he’s moving off of Github as well.

And really just years of Github feeling inconsistent, bad UX, no good solutions for open source developers in terms of AI spam etc.

Yeah, I had this happen the other day with their Moltworker.

Another one of their products which was “just an experiment”

Cloudflare annoys me as a company.

I wonder if anyone from HN would be willing to input their opinion into some features I'm building, which is really outputting LLM generated writing.

It's basically automating release notes and sprint summary's from existing systems like Jira and Linear. The target user is a product team, the target reader are business stakeholders who want to validate your existence. I've found this process to be stupidly time consuming for both our delivery manager, and whichever Dev they decide to tap on the shoulder to help contextualize tickets.

I feel like LLM's are a really good _summarizer_ and it can easily highlight if your tickets don't have enough context for actual people, if even an LLM can't write a summary with good enough context.

Idk, maybe it's a sensible usecase because you REALLY don't want novel ideas from the LLM in this case. You want it to tell you 1:1 what you did this sprint based on a list of issues.

Interesting... I built an MCP server for their initial browser render as markdown, and I just tell the LLM to follow reasonable links to relative content, and recurse the tool.

I notice that PlanetScale has a Developer Educator position available. Has anyone sent that to Aaron Francis yet? He might be interested.

This is really good!

After they ditched there free tier, it became basically untenable to justify trying Planetscale for $30 (USD as well) on a POC or MVP product, and it also felt like you were paying a lot for unneeded hardware.

I went backpacking last year for only a little over a month. Absolute pain in my chest when someone who I'd gotten to known over the past few days said it was their last day lol.

I see this quite a lot via Copilot using Claude. It'll just get stuck on a token for a while.

You're like the caricature of what other social media platforms represent HN users to be.

I think about it like this...

Fundamentally, I believe it's how they want to be treated culturally, but in our society, we tie gender and sex so closely together, that to be treated the way you want to be treated culturally in society, you need to change some of the sex based features you have.

In a better society, a medical approach wouldn't be needed. In our society, we _should_ accept that it is.

That's my opinion, and it's a pretty weakly held opinion, someone could dissuade me from it.

Yep. It isn't just a less usable web, it's a less safe web. But anything for those sweet ad dollars.

How many Kilowatts has this man saved by computers not having to load trackers and render ad banners!?

I was trying to find some info about an issue I was seeing on ESLINT the other day... and they told me to join their discord, I couldn't believe it. No, I'm not going to join the discord for a javascript linter.

Especially now that Jira is removing it's self hosted option, someone should be able to come and fill that niche. It'd be surprising to me if that niche is unmaintainable these days.

Did they not see Google Maps change to a globe late last year? Revolutionary! Take that Flat Earthers!
