Step 1️⃣: Expand

You add new fields (firstName, lastName) while keeping the old one (name).

Then, write a sync trigger or job to keep data in sync.

✅ Nothing breaks. Reads/writes continue as usual.

Use the Expand and Contract pattern to migrate schema changes without downtime.

1. Expand the schema
2. Backfill the data
3. Migrate the app
4. Contract the old field

🎉 This keeps your system live the entire time.

😱 Migrating database schemas can spiral into downtime.

Downtime = lost revenue, unhappy users, midnight deploys.

Here's a proven pattern to ship schema changes safely in a team👇

That’s a model I’m pondering for @tuistdev. You bring your API keys, and we take care of the rest plugging the hosts to GitHub or GitLab. The costs are mostly on you, and you pay a flat fee for our managing of the those hosts.

They resort to automation tools like Ansible, but I think it’d be amazing if they could do everything through a UI that allows them to add Mac Minis to their own pool, and let a tool provision them automatically.

I’ve already come across a a handful of companies that set up their own Mac infra to escape abusive pricing models by some CI providers 😅.

And I’m here for it.

With the launch of Chai, we have seen tens of thousands of new AI agents being vibe-coded both by builders and expert developers. 

Everyone is seeing a huge productivity gain here. From builders to developers to product managers everyone is building agents like never before.

There’s a huge amount of grey area between what’s vibe-coded and what’s AI-assisted coding. Do both. 

Both btw are much better than the drag-and-drop BS no code and low code alternatives.

It’s like when Tailwind first came out, as someone who always wrote CSS from scratch it took me a while to see how Tailwind was not a framework but like an API for CSS. 

I think we are in that phase of vibe coding where a lot of people judge it by the cover.

Vibe coding is going to replace every no-code low-code alternative. For good reason as well. And I would never understand the hate vibe coding gets. 

The AI-assisted coding and vibe coding are not far too different. I’m a convert tbh.

done! moving from cloudflare r2 to bunny took about 5 minutes. seems great so far! using sftp feels retro but it's super nice to be able to use transmit to upload files instead of cyberduck
