Recently I was working on something with Astra and it implemented a Swift app, with a BE server also in Swift. It worked fine, but I'm not a Swift guy so I had it rewrite the BE in TS After that went perfectly, I've been thinking a lot more... show more

I build one thing in C++ yesterday and I’ve never done any C++. It works, it solved problem I had. Don’t care anymore

Great video. I really think strategy and architecting is going to become increasingly important, and also being very aware of all the technologies so you can steer your agents. Totally agree with all your points.

yup!! literally just got done doing some crazy optimization for cpu budgets for this personal thing i’m building. it’s all done in c++. works great. would never have done it otherwise.

Since code is increasingly cheap and abstracted, have thought about building apps using more obscure frameworks like Axum/Tokio/Leptos?

schemas, migrations, queues, and failure semantics are the new framework lock-in. the stateless parts are almost free to rewrite now.

I stopped caring which language the first draft picks the day Astra swapped a whole backend for me without drama.

Nice video m8

Literally built a Rust CLI tool to solve a problem I was having wherein I knew exactly what problem to solve, what the runtime experience should feel like (fast, composable, easy install, portable). And now I have something 60x faster than a TS/Java variant. But have yet to read the code. I don’t even know Rust.

Keep it in Swift next time
