I did office hours today with a founder who had so many different things to figure out that we walked for 5 miles. (These were mostly the good kind of problem. He's in the early stage, where problems ≈ deciding what to do in what order.) Related

Programmer; makes Handmade Hero and teaches Performance-Aware Programming, and argues loudly about how software got slow.
From one piece
Why performant code matters (but gets widely ignored), with Casey Muratori
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
300 milliseconds is like an eternity in computing, right? And so if you're talking about like our pitch is that we're not more than 300 milliseconds, that just shows you how the bar was so far past where it probably should have been for something.

Their words
I also see people attacking major product categories now with performance-based pitches. Things like File Pilot or the Blick video editor, like things like this that have been coming out lately where it's like, oh, really performant software to try to take on uh incumbents in a space and they've been getting traction.

Their words
And so we've done this study where you have to, instead of me telling you where it is, you have to get up and find it. And so now you're engaging with the environment, you're going to go look for it and be like, gosh, it's been there the whole time. have walked by it so many times have never noticed it. And I think that's the difference between seeing something and noticing it.

Go read this post from Mat Duggan right now -- "@ClickhouseDB is Winning the Observability Wars". Go! I'll wait. https://t.co/LOsYeGNUJH "Every other observability backend I've worked with mutates as it grows... ClickHouse at 10 TB a day looks like ClickHouse at 1 TB a day with more shards. That's it. That's the pitch. That's the whole reason I'm writing this." Duggan's piece is a riot from start to finish. He talks you through all the pain of scaling Elastic, LGTM, and Datadog, and shows why a little tiny bit of upfront effort buys you SO MUCH EASE down the road, as you scale indefinitely. W… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
