It sounds crazy but I actually wouldn't be surprised if sales teams start giving potential customers access to the actual engineers who wrote the thing just to prove competence. "See, our guy knows Rust! If you have a Rust guy get your guy to talk to him about Rust! We're not just vibecoders! Look at all our code reviews!"

@rosano IndexedDB does this and is built into the web. 🤷 That's what I use if I don't need at rest encryption. I usually wrap it in `idb` so that I can get a nice promise based API. Most other "databases" offered on the web are just extra steps on top of this. Turso is also decent but needs more dependency bytes and might not work everywhere.

I really *want* to love Matrix, but their data model and approach to data storage is so annoying from a performance perspective. They pretty much mandate doing full text searches with decryption on every single row which just *does not* scale as you grow your message history / room count. 🤢

Thinking about downloading a thesaurus app to my phone now that the thesaurus website I use takes ten seconds to loud while cloudflare checks if I'm a "bot"

I'm begging developers to please index the data they're storing locally in their apps so that it can be fast. I get IndexedDB users are kinda cooked if you also want encryption at rest, but folks using Sqlite have no excuse.

I've been thinking about this video once every few months since it first came out.

Endearing myself to new people by rambling about surveillance companies making "automated kill chains" on my first meeting. 🤪

@bjb @Miaourt Yeah sadly "hallucinations" are very common. :P And then it ends up wasting a bunch of time down it's rabbit hole. The bigger water guzzlers aren't as bad at it FWIW. It's just very inconsistent.

My current tech strat is to deinfluence startups from what's trendy and point them to "boring" tech that will get the job done and be more stable.

@Miaourt Imagine getting into an argument and it just rm-rf's all your memories together.

@ylebre Hmm, you give a pretty compelling argument. 🤔🤔🤔

Should I abandon all my social connections for a pararomantic relationship with a chatbot?

Womp womp, turns out this refactor is taking more tinkering than anticipated.

I currently don't have an easy to use matrix client. 😵

in my opinion the answer is if a picture is worth a thousand words, you'll actually have to write those words bucko. "studio ghibli style trending on artstation" isn't gonna cut it. use your typing skills for something useful, and better yet, let me read your words directly. stop holding out on us

Womp womp, I need to rethink this system because JSON-RPC can't handle binary blobs. Might end up using the same shape but with length prefixed cbor packets.
