Our worst outage in 15 years lasted 44 minutes. The database timeouts behind it, how we fixed it, and what we changed afterwards.

The section on "Maintainability & discoverability" in this post by @jitbit is pure gold. It explains exactly my frustration with Tailwind at my job (where we also maintain a large-scale application). jitbit.com/alexblog/tailwind…

I really wanted to like Tailwind CSS

I’m actually on DHH’s side on this one. Emotions aside, the “consumer/business” distinction their decision relies upon DOES NOT EXIST in appstore guidelines. It’s perfectly ok to have an app with nothing but a “log in” button. You’re just not allowed to have a “sing up” in it

When this is over, what say we all pitch in and buy health care workers, couriers, hauliers, farmers, millers, grocers, bakers, sewage workers, power workers, teachers, fire fighters and police officers a bottle of something?

Having a public roadmap discussion forum can be super exhausting especially when I have to write lengthy responses like this one (at the bottom), but man it is feels *so* good to engage in conversations with our customers directly support.jitbit.com/helpdesk/…

Had a heating engineer enquire about some SEO work, he wanted to arrange a time to set up a call. I told him I'd call between 9am and 5pm

I always wondered if it'll be cost-effective to build my own email dispatcher solution and save for the long term, or continue paying $$$ to email SAAS products. @jitbit built their own and it actually looks alright: jitbit.com/news/email-archit…
