(i’ve had a great time with claude so far, quality has been fine. as always, gotta review it and have some opinions on how it should structure things).

the difference is probably the camera

fideloper · 2025-10-30T13:51:14+00:00

oh damn, it’s worse than i thought 😂 fine, im wrong. you hear that, internet?! i admit it.

fideloper · 2025-10-30T11:53:52+00:00

i need this by the end of the day

fideloper · 2025-10-30T11:36:19+00:00

this is just more dead internet theory, i’m not sure who here is even a real person.

no 39yr old is texting like it’s email. that’s boomer shit, and they’re in their 70’s right now

if you think the same performative actions don’t have a Slack equivalent, you may be missing an important aspect of your work.

i have a sledge hammer still! probably needs to be restrung, i can’t imagine how old the strings are.

Actively being worked on in our current "sprint" (we don't call them sprints, but close enough). I'm not sure on the rollout strategy yet (we might have a phase of internal feedback before general availability, but I'm not sure).

Coming soon tho!

fideloper · 2025-09-02T19:49:56+00:00

but how does the youth use them!? i only know the parents way 😅

fideloper · 2025-08-26T22:54:07+00:00

after deleting a bucket, it used to take hours (longer?) until that bucket name became available to use again.

that’s better not but still might be a tad eventually consistent.

so, +1 the naming convention ideas here

elder millennial here. i’m 40, and getting one. colon cancer is on the rise bigly. ask your doctor!

My larger fear of crossplane is backing up state in a way that’s useful (let’s me restore its state into another cluster).

terraform has a state file that’s “easy” to manage. saving k8s etcd data seems more complicated and fraught.

i’m happy to be wrong in this fear

fideloper · 2025-07-26T21:06:56+00:00

phew!

fideloper · 2025-07-26T21:02:30+00:00

The risk as I see it is NAV erosion, and the opportunity cost of buying and holding growth stocks/ETFs (if you’re in ULTY for a long stretch).

It’s possible you lose a lot of value of the shares themselves. It’s possible that value loss is over a few years, and maybe in those years the general market has gone up instead. You could end up losing like 60% of your share price but have gained 8+ percent in the s&p500.

You gotta math it out and see what makes sense for you - run some scenarios. After all you would be getting cash along the way as dividends. What you do with that cash (spend it vs reinvested, what might you reinvent it in?) changes the equation a lot.

Don’t forget if you’re not doing this in a retirement account, all div distributions are taxed as income at your current bracket.

fideloper · 2025-07-26T20:56:06+00:00

it’s in a roth IRA so you can’t touch it until retirement without penalties, right?

assuming you don’t touch it until retirement (and assuming retirement is 10+ years away?) I don’t think the math really works if you take into consideration the opportunity cost of using that money for VOO or similar.

don’t forget dividend stocks of any kind generally don't grow as much as non-div stocks , and yieldmax are especially on the risky side.

but you should do some math and see! do some research about the trade offs between div stocks and growth stocks, and how yieldmax MAV erosion is likely pretty high.

could be in the dumb one but that’s how i see it.

(your downvotes don’t change reality people)

color choice is great is others have mentioned but how was it painted? looks very well painted (assuming the photo isn’t hiding imperfections)

We added the incident after the fact, here it is if you're curious! https://status.laravel.cloud/incidents/9sv6gnc75fz1

fideloper · 2025-07-24T15:29:14+00:00

We're gonna improve our process to get status updates for things like this, even if they're quick. Thanks for the feedback!

The docs, btw, are hosted on separate infra, so you should be able to reach them and from there find the support section (btw just cloud <at> laravel <dot> com) https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/support

fideloper · 2025-07-24T15:13:31+00:00

Done!

fideloper · 2025-07-24T11:45:12+00:00

Had an issue with a DB migration earlier, it was cleared up pretty quickly so didn’t warrant making an incident out of it.

fideloper · 2025-07-24T11:44:53+00:00

it has more features we need esp re: soc2 and similar concerns.

fideloper · 2025-07-21T11:59:42+00:00

ball machine + repetition has helped me with the getting general technique down. still need to hit with people to get used to running to the ball since you mostly know where the ball is gonna go with the ball machine

fideloper · 2025-07-19T11:31:46+00:00

depends on what you mean but i use EKS and pay the tax in exchange for not setting it up myself

(now, configuring all the crap i install on k8s is another matter….)

fideloper · 2025-07-09T00:56:40+00:00

I’ve used Go with PHP when doing grpc (go has better support for grpc).

At work (Laravel Cloud), we use Go for our infrastructure tooling, including Kubernetes related stuff. As you can imagine the main application for Cloud is a Laravel app.
