Docker v29 swaps lib usage to moby from docker. No biggy, just about everything built broken with old docker lib. 😅🫠⚰️
Though, it is nice getting better abstractions. Aligning with grander container design. Not docker's way. Still, things will break. 😐

Multi-line autocomplete support on #fishshell! 🎉 I know this is going to be a powerful new feature. I write multi-line commands frequently already.

A single application does not equate to free writes in #sqlite.
Holding the lock means you can write and read from that process. But you still need to account of reading and writing concurrency control.
Interceptor handler for all writes is an absolute must. 😐

SQLite is a powerful database engine, but due to its design, it has limitations that should not be overlooked.

The work done on #deno deploy is pretty darn amazing.
Making a #paas solution requires figuring how much you let users do. Full configuration access can be too overbearing. Look at #k8s. 😅
But if you can get it just right, usability can heighten accessibility. 😎

And in a twist of design, here's doing durable execution directly with #sqlite and an event bus framework in #golang called #watermill.
So just in case you all in go, this may be the way to go instead of #litestream. 😅

Another project for #Hypermedia in #python. Hold up! It's a fork of #fasthtml. Using #datastar instead of #htmx. 😅
The difference here is how much datastar use #SSE (#ServerSentEvents). It's EVERYWHERE. Very potent stuff.
Hadn't yet tried datastar, but maybe soon with this. 😁
