So internet radio has been free since the 90s. Why are there 100s of IOS apps that charge monthly (or ad supported) for the privilege of listening to it?

Lesson #3 - If you’re gonna run your database migrations as part of your deployment process, you should make sure that the timeout on the deployment connection string is super long. Something like an hour.
It’s sucks when you have to delay a deployment because it’s timing out on adding an index.

One technique that I’ve messaged around with recently is have a repo that just contains markdown files that describes the architecture of all our microservices. I point Claude Code to it and ask it about changes I’m planning on making and see what it thinks.
Works well for a first design pass.

I’m still unsure how I feel about automatic prod deployments when merging into main, but projects that I have that currently using it are pretty nice.

Lesson learned - If you’re unsure of something should be one-to-one or one-to-many, choose one to one. It’s always harder (if not impossible) to migrate from many down to one.

Turns Out I Have Strong Feelings About Socks

Got a compliment on our api docs. Most of the contracts predate me and we just started generating the docs with swagger…. But I’ll take the win.

If your laptop is upgradeable, one thing to look into is upgrading the network card. Easy swap can get WIFI 7 and newer Bluetooth protocols.
You’ll probably want to opt for a card with an Intel Chip for stability and compatibility.
