Why do my best ideas always happen on a plane when my ping is so bad?
If i'm in the initial, iterative design phases of an app where I just want the final output to be a bunch of react components... what's the best LLM-based tool these days? In my opinion, it used to be v0. Is it still?
If you're an engineer who insists on doing irrationally beautiful & principled work, we want you. We're not selling a bait and switch. We make real, difficult, novel things, build trust with customers over time, and play the long game. You're gonna love it.
Convex is hiring in-person in SF! Particularly focused on infra/dist-sys folks rn. If you have experience with scale, love going deep, value clean simple architecture, have high ownership, and want to work with a world class team lmk. My thoughts on ideal engineer profile:
Never never never
Published a new post: "PSA: SQLite WAL checksums fail silently and may lose data" This is a follow up to my previous posts. When SQLite encounters checksum failures in WAL, instead of raising an error, it drops all subsequent frames; even if they are not corrupt. It's not a bug
📈 @mikeysee quietly been making outrageously good developer content on the Convex YT channel.
Onwards and upwards!
Oh hey that's me
Yeah, @theo made a video about Convex. YouTube commenters had thoughts. Some positive, some less positive. Now we made our own video with our thoughts about your thoughts.
I seriously don't understand how a 39 year old database is still this bad.
Pour one out for me and all the other souls who legitimately used em dashes before GPT came along. If LLMs start using too many ellipsis... I'm really screwed.
We removed some marketing bs from our website and it got magically better. Funny how that works!
Chris's video on using Resend and Convex together is so well done. If you want to get started with the Convex component for Resend, check it out!
What if your database solution had email... - queuing and batching - durable execution - idempotency - rate limits Welcome, the new @convex_dev Resend component.
🧵 1/ We've partnered with @resend to launch the Convex Resend Component and Hackathon. We’re confident that Resend provides the best DX available for integrating transactional and marketing emails into your React app.

Great product!
We teamed up with @convex_dev to 10x your mobile apps
this windsurf shit is such a bitch move as a leader you get a lot of upside but the deal is you go down with the ship
my god what an incredible blog post
I'll talk more about what's next soon. For now, I wanted to reflect on what I've learned. Plus share a bunch of photos from behind the scenes! Thank you 🖤 leerob.com/vercel
