As a solo dev GitHub going down is scary all my code, all my history, one platform. This makes me want to keep local backups more seriously.

Sorry to ask but... Do you have any idea how git works???

Yea or use another provider like codeberg

Personally I'd never use codeberg. Their FAQ on licensing [0] is basically everything that anyone who supports free software should abhor - it's "we might allow you to do what you want to".

True but switching is not that easy when all your ci pipelines and integration on in GitHub.

I don't think it's 100% compatible, but Gitea's/Forgejo's (which Codeberg runs on) own Action implementation is pretty much the same as GitHub Actions, with minor differences.

Good to know might actually try it for one project 1 st before switching

A model from 1930 that thinks computer is a human job is wild we come so far 100 years

Computer was a human job. They did arithmetic, or less frequently, higher-order computations. Basically, human-powered accounting.

As a teen I did some accounting for my family on an electro-magnetic adding machine. A big boon over hand addition, but still prone to input errors, alas.


This is scary as a solo dev who builts on postgresql. You pick a tool trust it, build around it, one day it stops. Oss sustainability is a real problem

I would say "unpaid tool use" is a real problem. Or perhaps "contractless" is actually touching the core issue?

True but as a solo dev, you cant afford to pay for every tool you depend on. That's the trap.

Built a 4 startups and abandoned most every abandoned one thought me something I use today the graveyard is actually where my skills come from

This is why I never give a.i agents write acces the prod. Read only the most. The agent did exactly what it allowed to do

I use a.i to build my startup and it massively helps but i still spend hours reviewing and fixing what is genertes.

PII masking is always an afterthought when building a backends 50m active params means it can actually run in production.

I am 20.idea showing to govt I'd just to browse feels wrong even if the crpto works the habit of verifying Identity everywhere is the real problem.

I had a state machine bug in my backend I built a where order states were defined differently in migration vs api routes. Wish I knew about this earlier.
