We made the Tuist dashboard public because we deemed important that people could check what they’d have access to with real data and without having to create an account.

kinda think that the last few years of web framework tech has been rocket-ship growth for weirdo complexity and stalling-out of real improvements

react router 7 is turning me into the joker unfortunately

"Request a demo" feels like such a broken pattern. Let me see the actual product without signing up or starting a trial. 

That's why we've made our Tuist dashboard public, so it's accessible by everybody, immediately.

Your local Postgres Docker container watching you run `npx prisma dev` without needing it 👇

It’s the first time we are doing this  so we’ll see how it goes 😃. We noticed video is becoming the norm to share updates, so we thought: why not trying the same format ourselves?

🤺 Postgres then competes with the OS for these resources, making it slower and less efficient.

That's why on conventional machines, you can usually only fit a handful (or maybe a few dozens for larger machines) of Postgres instances. 

A unikernel machine can fit millions! 🤯

The problem with running Postgres on a traditional OS is that the OS has lots of system software (drivers, user shells, file system, and much more ...) that isn't actually needed by Postgres.

😵 BUT this system software still consumes resources (CPU, memory, disk space, ...).

This custom OS is called a "unikernel".

Here's an analogy:

🇨🇭 Swiss army knife = traditional OS (heavy, cumbersome to carry around, can do many things)

🔪 Scalpel = unikernel (lightweight, efficient, tailored to one specific use case)

⚡️ "Prisma Postgres is built on unikernels"

What does that even mean? And why is it better than other DBs? 

Let's break it down! 👇

Prisma Postgres doesn't run on a traditional OS (like Linux). Instead, it runs on a custom, hyperspecialized OS that's tailored to its needs.

x is melting down atm

unfortunately, besides these subgenres of indie rock and my surprisingly good 5k time last night, nearly everything else in the world is doing very, very bad

Thanks - first time in NYC sub-20! Was running mid 19s in sf and low 19s in high school, when such things were a little easier
