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

Can you build a PaaS in public? 😅
Sharing your progress, headaches, micro-feature releases, bug-fixing, family issues, etc?

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.

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...

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.

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.

It was a terrible platform in many ways but the Google+ notion of “Circles” (curated groups you could share certain things with, all on the same app) was genius and should be brought back
So social media has this problem, where it keeps promising ever larger communities, but everywhere you look you see people overwhelmingly talking to about 150 close friends.
90% of their interactions ending up being with like, a dozen people. No matter how big a room you put them in.

wish there was a Py lib that provides a wrapper around AWS lambdas using decorators for regular Py functions to turn them into lambdas and declares dependencies via decorator params. Dev lifecycle tooling similar to `modal serve`/`modal deploy` wouldn't hurt either :) l. #aws #lambda #python #modal
December 13, 2024 at 10:02 AM
Super refreshed by Modal's infra abstractions, especially for declaring lambdas out of basic Python functions. Figured out a nice replacement for their Team plan egress proxy feature with boto3 automation for updating security groups with lambdas dynamic IPs for secure AWS DB access. #aws #modal
