building /frens realtime streaming data with arbitrarily complex queries can be tricky. but… now it works better also finally got around to configuring vscode as my debugger for both backend and frontend. Got sick of debugging in chrome :P

building /frens messaging hyper focused on a tricky tech decision, when all of a sudden I get a knock on my office door It’s my buddy @bli.eth, and he’s looking serious. “They’re still spinning!” A chill crawls up the back of my neck. I know what this means. And it’s my worst nightmare INFINITE LOOP OF CACHE INVALIDATION! IN PRODUCTION!!! No time for pleasantries Kyle. I drop everything. This is why I keep two local working copies. Zed! wake up Claude Your time has come 😎 let’s roll 🏎️💨 <HACKING_MONTAGE />

building /frens onchain messaging this week I shipped more data stuff, but with better perf crypto deals with a lot of data getting the data flows right is tricky

building /frens with frens this week I made stuff work more good fixed garbage collection and caching innards this is effectively synonymous with programming because pretty much all of programming is just data transport, transformation, and caching so I did a bunch more of that kind of thing

tornado can’t stop us from shipping but it sure can delay it a little bit 😅 (typing this from the floor of the closet)

The multiple endpoints game is too real. We’re building a bunch of product infra to deal with it all. Typical frontends talk to only a single endpoint controlled by the team. But we don’t want accidental centralized control of your stuff, so we are bending over backwards to keep the power in your hands as the user

Local first data means we get to have classic data model classes again! encapsulate a bunch of data transformation shenanigans into a single data model method call And with React Hooks, useWhatever methods can dynamically rerender the UI! Feels like the revelation of Ruby on Rails back in 2006. But native mobile
