SaaS are not going exctinct. This reminds me of the LinkedIn posts saying they clone Slack in two hours, copying the UI, etc. Yeah, if you think Slack is private chat rooms then you should use IRC for your company.

One of the most valuable things about Slack is the ecosystem: apps, API support, etc. If you need to receive notifications from external apps (like PageDuty or Incident.io or something like that), good luck expecting them having a setup for your own version of the app. Yeah, some of them provide webhooks (not all of them), but in the end you have to maintain that too...

Imagine being so close to build AGI and erase software engineer in the next 6 months, that you need to throw $100M to build a certification program...

Please, it's the one thing I miss on my Pixel 10

Not sure if people interested, but since I use sqlite in a lot of my own projects, I am working on a lightweight monitoring and safety layer for production SQLite.

The idea is pretty simple: SQLite is amazing, but once it’s running in production you basically have zero observability. If something weird happens (unexpected writes, schema changes, background jobs touching tables, etc.) you only find out after the fact. It tries to solve that without touching application code. It's a Rust agent that runs next to your sqlite file, and connects to the server where everything is logged in. My current challenge right now is encryption and trust, mostly.

Curious if others here are running SQLite in production and if you would be interested in something like this.

I think progessional photography is so wide as a definition that makes no sense. Product photography could be somehow replaced with AI, maybe, but not journalist photography at all. In fact, journalism photography is more importnat than ever with AI now.
