Because electric-sql.com's sync protocol is HTTP, you can do ridiculous things like write a client in Bash

Experimenting with using Windsurf/Claude to create text-based programs. I ask it to write ad-hoc "prompt code" into different files & I can have it ask me for data which it then writes out. Very fluid and interesting. Been using it for the last week or so to design/run my exercise program.

Claude is really good at asking questions — ChatGPT/Gemini kinda don't.

Been enjoying thinking lately of electric-sql.com as syncable data structures. Postgres supports a huge range of data structures and they're all syncable now with Electric.

Congratulations to Trigger.dev on hitting GA for their realtime product! They're an early adopter of electric-sql.com and it's been great working closely with them. Syncing data in real-time right out of Postgres into your app — it's a thing people! https://x.com/triggerdotdev/status/1863599508283912356

Reading Victorian England novels is interesting as they were busily inventing huge chunks of the modern world. Which in many ways was quite stable until the last 20-30 years or so where we've been busily inventing TBD (we can't seem to stabilize on anything)

Coding with AI is exactly like being a manager — figuring out the right precision of requests to minimize my effort while still ensuring a good outcome. Also learning the qualities of the human/ai I'm managing so I fine-tune the instructions.

Salt Lake City this week is like being in the bay area with kubecon in town. Tons of events and friends pinging me to hangout.

Biggest surprise of the night so far is Russia calling in bomb threats in liberal areas: 1. They're not hiding it — using russian emails, etc. 2. Making it very clear they need/want Trump

It's funny how little talk there is about Kamala being the first women & asian-american US President. Way more with Obama & Hillary. The spectre of Trump v2 seems to overshadow it.

Daikon Radish is the best cover crop. It grows crazy fast and you can eat it! I planted these area 55 days ago at the end of August. The plant I harvested tonight for some soup had a 13 oz root and after destemming, I got 6.5 oz of greens.

Neat trick — you can screenshot a doordash search result into gemini and ask it for the google map reviews of each of them — doordash reviews are useless it seems

A hill I'll die on — city golf courses are horrendous exclusionary wastes of space. They should all be converted to houses and giant parks.

We had a brief power outage that got me wondering what is the horse equivalent of electricity usage per household. Chatgpt estimates around 12. For whatever that's worth. https://chatgpt.com/share/6712b64a-5fa8-800c-a5a3-3c136fd738eb
