I love how Meta will do anything but prevent phishing and prepaid credit card scams in Whatsapp/Messenger

I love this - it's very similar to what the book Shape Up (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) calls "appetite". I've been using this method even before I came to read this book for years, it works great! Estimates otoh, really don't.

Similarly, my father had a delicate CV issue recently (he's fine now!). We were only able to do the best research on risks, best approaches, etc with the help of LLM deep research. We would be mostly flying blind-trusting the first doctor we talked to.

What does real-time mean here? Would it work e.g. in a live stream?

This is fantastic! Interestingly, I was one of the early engineers at Maginatics [1], a company that built exactly this in 2011 - and Netflix was one of our earliest beta customers. We strived to be both SMB3 and POSIX compatible, but leaning into SMB3 semantics. We had some pretty great optimizations that gave almost local disk performance (e.g. using file and directory leases [2], async metadata ops, data and metadata caching, etc). EFS was just coming out at that point (Azure I think also had something similar in the works).

I'll be looking closely in what you're building!

I don't have a need at the moment just curious. It looks like Stripe Tax doesn't support all US states. Will probably be a good product when it's out of beta!

How complete is Stripe's tax product? Typically I've seen ecommerce apps use something like Avalara for this.

This like Elixir's pipe operator [1]! I use it on the daily (with Ecto) and it's epic!

Surprised nobody mentions this: Firefox DevTools are so, so much better than Chrome's, especially shining in two areas: (a) inspecting layouts with flex/grid; (b) inspecting websocket traffic.

Been using FF for 10+ years, never looked back.

I’m surprised to see that the OP, as a Django user, does not call out the lack of an out of the box admin tool that’s not there in Phoenix. Django’s admin is amazing and super useful in production. I love phoenix but I miss an admin tool :(

Can highly recommend over plain REST as an alternative to graphql. The iteration speed with instant feedback is incredible. Perfect pair with NextJS.

I built a thing that’s similar to supabase realtime or firebase, but for DynamoDB. It reads the DynamoDB kinesis stream and broadcasts the changes over Phoenix pubsub via a websocket connection, directly to the client.
