What would happen if we compensated infrastructure engineers like we paid a top trader, or a pro golfer? Purely based on performance and results: My company's CI pipeline is frustratingly slow. `git push origin master` to production rollout can routinely take 10 minutes. We deploy a lot, and that 10 min is a huge tax on productivity and velocity. What i'm "supposed" to do today: * Put up a job posting for an infra engineer * Sift through 100 profiles, interview 10, negotiate, close, start date, etc etc etc and * maybe in a few weeks/months, I found the right person and my CI pipeline is faster. What I want * Let's say mean build time is 600 seconds, and * Mean time to failed build is 480 seconds. I'll gladly pay someone $10 for every second of mean build time they can reduce, and $20 for every second of mean failed build time. So let's say you can get it down MBT=60s and MFBT=30s I'd gladly pay a talented contractor $14,400 to deliver those results ((600-60)*$10 + (480-30)*20). Probably more.

People who use TypeScript and VSCode (or Cursor) for small-to-medium sized codebases (~4k files, ~280k LOC): Does your editor ever get into a state where the problem count fluctuates wildly? One second everything is great, next thing it thinks I'm targeting netscape navigator and has 9999 problems

Working on getting my two year-old daughter into programming and computers. Any other parents on here want to talk about what's worked well? Got her this recently and it's been watching her learn about loops: https://education.lego.com/en-us/products/coding-express-by-lego-education/45025

This has been weighing on me for a few weeks and I just need to say it. There's a company on here that claims to be builder friendly, were once customers of ours (and promised to stick around), used our APIs to build an MVP and raise funding, took our data, and then demanded we not mention them ever again.

Hearing that Zora's L2 is sort of a big deal. Would you build something incredible if we added Zora support for our v2 API?

(1/2) Something really cool we do for our new services: We have a simple but powerful observability framework that makes it really easy to 1) say what you want to instrument and measure, and to 2) make sure you're calling it correctly. https://i.imgur.com/NAgb7vs.png

Thinking about making a tool to benchmark blockchain node and IPFS providers. Does this exist yet? And which benchmarks would you want to see?

Who is the fastest and most reliable node provider out there now? Can't build our way out of the bear market if RPC calls are taking 800ms to complete

Is calling observability o11y a thing that anybody else does? If not, can we make it a thing? https://center-inc.notion.site/Observability-Tweetstorm-e6ef2d82c03d498894b893d1d96530c6

Also might aim for the Ballmer peak in a few hours. Late night coding is the best. https://i.imgur.com/JLS7H2S.jpg

My productive hours keep shifting to later in the day, and I'm becoming a night owl again. What's your favorite dark, high-contrast vscode theme? Currently on monokai-charcoal. https://i.imgur.com/yqQESvH.png
