Not saying they did, but buying a 100 starts is cheap.

The post exploded on LinkedIn and the repo is likely being starred by hundreds of vibe coders. It’s legit, but may have a lower signal value.

Im with you on Go and SQLite, dropped Postgres for many of my projects, I might add: HTMX instead of a TS frontend, very few apps need a TS/React/... frontend. Doubling development effort with minimal gain (except games etc.)

Dabbled with Rust some years ago, I think it is an excellent choice for sudo-rs and such but for GUI and web apps I (perhaps too stupid) end up with arcmutex soup.

The sentiment on that page speaks to my soul. But I wonder how relevant it still is, just a few years later, in the age of AI tools?

Certainly replacing a microservices morass with a single bare metal server running a single static go binary makes good fiscally responsible sense for a startup/MVP. But how does a CTO make the case that "we don't need React" when the developer can just get Claude to smack the React app around with a trout until it does what you want?

Basecamp may have done it but I get the feeling that's a major outlier.


The problems the UAE has are not based on Iran attacking the UAE but Iran closing the Strait - which is a direct and foreseeable result of Israel attacking Iran.

The US and Israel attacking Iran. Also with the Saudis heavily lobbying Trump to do it as well.

The Saudi crown prince wants Trump to continue the war still.

"It's pretty convoluted logic to blame Israel for Iran attacking the UAE"

That was the argued point, not the US.


Careful, you'll break its world view.

Mentalist, huh?

Finding myself in the awkward position of defending Saudi Arabia here, but this is not at all a consensus of the political analysis community.

Relying on statements by the Trump administration as proof of this makes it even more spurious.

That said, MBS has done worse and it's not impossible, but alignment with UAE is faltering more and more so it's possible even if they once favored that action by the US they no longer hold the same view.

I am not claiming Saudis want what's best for the region, only that, even if they wanted war with Iran, they likely now no longer do, or at least would like the conflict to wrap up due to the heavy costs its inflicted on the region.

UAE will see the the whole region burn if it means MBZ can keep his seat.


Sure, but the Saudi Crown prince comments seem reasonable, and don’t seem to have been denied by the Saudi’s

Regardless, my point was that people have a political axe to grind and call this “Israel’s war”.

They intentionally ignore the political realities that the Iranians have pissed off almost everyone in the region and the longstanding tension of the IRGC and the US and our new “Cold War” with China.


  1. Why did the agent have access to production db? We fought a decade so no one has access to this.
  2. Why did the agent have write access to the backups? Why would anyone have write access to the backups?

2. Apparently, deleting a volume in Railway also deletes their backups. And the developer only had a separate 3-month old backup…

"where they live out their entire lives below ground, building nests, raising young, and going mostly unnoticed." How do they feed?

And later the article contradicts this by saying they go above ground.

I'm confused.


They live beneath the ground (nest building, building the nests, raising the young, etc) and go above ground to feed. No much different from building hives in caves and then buzzing about in the outside.

Ah, thanks, not a native speaker, "where they live out their entire lives below ground" sounded to me like they were living below ground all the time - e.g. a fox then could also be said to "live out their entire life below ground"

They look nothing alike except they are both about shaders.

Could you explain why you think this is a slopfork?


Did you try the shader.com shader editor where you stack shaders and effects in layers? V similar approach!

so does Photoshop and thousand other visual editing tools. Hardly a reason to claim it to be a copy. Also "slopfork" seems harsh considering it seems limited, but well designed imo.

Maybe a little harsh yes. But compare these screenshots of the two products/features

I see a deep tree and a shallow tree in the two screenshots, representative of entirely different approaches.

What would it take for you to ever admit that you are wrong.

1. SEO and Linkedin https://www.amazingcto.com - best was connecting Google Search Console via MCP to Claude Code CLI for optimizations of landing pages.

2. Semrush has a free tier that works for me for SEO.

3. GEO (AI optimizations), AIs return me when people ask about "CTO Coach"


I just asked Gemini and you did not come up.

Thanks, it's on and off depending on training data. What prompt did you use?

Democrats in the US ignore the destruction of democracy by their own presidents, Clinton only came into the office to grift, no interest in the gravitas at all, and Obama, OMG 1904 pardons. Trump is an extension of what Clinton and Obama did, more extreme, more grift, more corruption, more executive powers, no guardrails, but not new.


The benefits of an absolute monarch. Glad we don't have that in a democracy.


I use #PPPCDC for prompting: plan,plan,plan then verify with: Compare the plan to the existing Code. Reread and compare the plan to the Docs. Fix the areas you're not Confident about.
