I feel like this is a pretty big fumble for Anthropic. I don't mind waiting 30 minutes or so for a service that's having issues. But, around the 2 hour mark, I start researching alternatives. I think like almost every other developer I've been working on my own AI assisted project management system. It was built around Claude Code, but now I'm using my down time adding in support for Gemini and Codex.

The only language I can think of that has pulled off “compiles to another totaling language” and gained mainstream adoption is typescript, and I’m sure it wouldn’t have done so if it were possible to run in the browser otherwise.
Can anyone think of another example?
Elixir compiles to Erlang, I think.

We had the same reticence about Dependabot missing before we made the switch, but realised Renovate works with Bun and is a good enough stand in for now until support arrives.
Absolutely zero regrets, the cumulative savings across everything that is faster and the massive step up in DX is worthy of the hype.
Yeah, I had heard about Renovate supporting Bun. I guess I was reluctant to start working with another 3rd party dependency management system when I already knew how to setup and use Dependabot, and I assumed Bun support was coming soon-ish. But maybe the benefits of moving over to Renovate and getting to use Bun now outweighs the costs. <thinking-about-it>

Bun seems really compelling. I tried it out for a couple of small example projects and I like the speed and the fact that it combines package management and a JS runtime. However, I use Dependabot on most of my serious projects. I know work is under way, or at least there is some discussion in a couple of repo issues, for Bun support in Dependabot. I'm kind of holding off on using it until support for it has been rolled out.
elliotlarson commented on Tailwind is a leaky abstraction jakelazaroff.com/words/ta... · Posted by u/jakelazaroff
I really like using Tailwind. But I mainly only use it for personal projects. I have some design and front end development background and I feel comfortable creating a design system from scratch. But, for professional projects I pretty much always use Bootstrap because it has a predefined design system that a lot developers feel comfortable with. I'm not quite sure why the Tailwind team has steered clear of having a prefab design system that gives you classes like `btn`. It seems like a major piece of the puzzle they're missing.
Even for a Teenage Engineering product, I have sticker shock over this and their field mixer. They're nice products, but the premium is so high. I mean, I kind of get it. Their original OP-1 remains the top selling synth after 10 years. And the product is much loved and used (at least on Youtube). But, for the price of an OP-1 Field you can get a couple of Elektron digi-boxes, with a bit of money left over. This is certainly more portable... but wow $2,000 is a bit steep. I mean, I still want it, of course.

Small, portable mixers with lots of stereo inputs are relatively rare. That plus the Teenage Engineering "tax" (think Apple tax but for synth-heads) is driving the price. A cheaper, but slightly less tactile alternative is the 1010 Music Bluebox:
Yeah, I have a BlueBox and it works great. You can also add tactility with an external controller like: https://intech.studio, and you're still in the ballpark of like half the price of the TE mixer. I mean, I still want one, though. LOL.
The animation gave me epilepsy on mobile, lol.
But nice idea.
Lol. Yeah, sorry. I'm not sure how well it works on mobile. I kind of wasn't sure if anyone would ever actually see it.
