We are. But our usecase is more tolerant of failures so it's probably not as much of an issue.

I actually have 0 enthusiasm for this model. When GPT 5 came out it was clearly the best model, but since Opus 4.5, GPT5.x just feels so slow. So, I am going to skip all `thinking` releases from OpenAI and check them again only if they come up with something that does not rely so much on thinking.

Ok, I was a bit addicted to Opus 4.5 and was starting to feel like there's nothing like it.
Turns out Gemini 3 Flash is pretty close. The Gemini CLI is not as good but the model more than makes up for it.
The weird part is Gemini 3 Pro is nowhere as good an experience. Maybe because its just so slow.

Interesting. Have you seen any benefits of using io-uring. It seems io-uring is constatly talked about but no one seems to be really using it in anger.

The actual lesson I learnt from this post is that Python was good enough for Reddit until 2024 from 2005.

I think what is happening is that people are realizing AI is not just plug and play. It can do amazing things but needs engineering around it.
I think what will happen is in parallel more products will be built that address the engineering challenges and the models will keep getting better. I don't know though if that will lead to another hockey stick or just slow and steady.

Sorry, I am going to ask this again.
This is exactly how a DAG works? So is the hype around things like Durable Execution, Temporal etc simply because something like Airflow is not more well known?

Sorry for the off-topic but I have been lately seeing a lot of hype around durable execution.
I still cannot figure out how this is any different than launching a workflow in something like Airflow. Is the novel thing here that it can be done using the same DB you already have running?
But Opus 4.5 exists.
