We want you to build protocols!
For that, you need to know about message framing.
Conveniently, we produced a video about doing this in #rust on top of #QUIC with iroh :)

This week on Counting Stuff, I write more SQL than most and found that LLMs get in my way in some cases, and are useful tools in others, and it depends a lot on application and whether I have energy to feed it context #dataBS

1/4. I'm incredibly excited for this case study to come out. The @paradedb and @BiltRewards teams have been working together to take Bilt's user-facing search experience to the next level, all without the cumbersome infrastructure of a bespoke search database.
We're proud to be partnering with Bilt to improve the member search experience with minimal infrastructure overhead.
