awww yay! love hearing that <3

Thank you! Lmk if you try it out + have thoughts :D

Building the revamped Tuist website highlighted just how much impact a small team can have. This success is due to an incredible team and smart technical choices like embracing a design system, opting for Elixir, and utilizing a monorepo setup.

Migrate your Postgres database to PlanetScale, fast.

Our migration-scripts repo has tools for migrating:

- Postgres → PlanetScale PG (Logical or DMS)
- Heroku PG → PlanetScale PG (via Bucardo)
- Postgres → Vitess

Yes! The Git Panel will surface conflicts and when they are clicked on, will take you to the file where you can choose which version to keep, or edit directly.

the "highly leveraged" piece really bounces around in my brain, if a t-shirt factory switches from sewing machines that make 1 shirt/worker/hour to robotic ones that let a worker make 20 shirts per hour does not increase pay 20x, right? what is the mechanism for that higher leverage becoming wages?

that said: the article is well-written, and definitely thoughtful in the domain that amodei is most passionate about, which is medicine / biology. i wish it covered the other domains a lot more, though.

i want a big ol' citation needed marker on "increasing compensation" in this paragraph because i cannot see any simple or complicated economics brain way in which this is inevitable

it seems, at the moment, lopsided: ai has a very visible (so far, negative?) impact on governance, definitely negative impact on economic measures (paying llm researchers $10M bonuses is not good for gini coefficient…), but its impact on medicine is uncertain, minimal, and not visible to most

Not sure if it crossed your way @josevalim but this is our love letter to the Elixir and Phoenix ecosystems too.

Could we have used a React-based design system? Sure! But our product would have ended up looking like all the others, with a strong dependency on an ever-changing, intricate ecosystem. Instead, we chose to bet on the web and Phoenix.

Tuist is crafted to maximize efficiency with minimal effort, and Noora's design system is crucial to this goal. While using it to develop our new marketing page recently, I was reminded of the incredible work made by @asmitbm and @cschmatzler.
