prasadvara··on What Coding Is Starting to Lose
The tools were sold on speed and quality, and they deliver both.

I think "quality" side depends on LOT of tuning you would need to keep in place. Quality might be good if you are dealing with single project, when you hare more than one repo to deal with, things need real attention and observed that quality goes down significantly.

The ongoing theme of all these responses was shifting the blame to the consumer.

As expected. I think consumers also need to push back on these practices, but the problem is, majority of consumers are tech savy but not privacy savy.

prasadvara··on Three Depths of Interaction
Reducing the number of clicks doesn’t necessarily improve interaction.

I think this is half true and depends on you are dealing with vetrans or new users. Once you are used, people just click as many as needed, but when user is new to the UI, every click becomes a question and resistance.

prasadvara··on Ask HN: Is vibe coding bad for SaaS projects?
If you are upcoming developer, nothing wrong in vibe coding in my opinion as long as you take time to understand what is being done by the model. One suggestion I have is, make sure ask/explore alternative approach of solving the same. This helps you to understand and eventually judge what fits in given scenario. Good luck!

prasadvara··on Debugging Postgres Performance Under Row-Level Security
I feel that when we opt for row level security we are fundamentally moving away from CRUD principles and maybe not a good candidate in RDS. I have used this approach lock the rows from UI modifications, but felt like awkward way of restricting.

You don't need an SBOM or anything fancy to get started

prasadvara··on Don't couple your Go code to GitHub
Isn't this going to introduce the dependency of domain management? I understand the positive side of it, but put some infra level manamgment layer to individual Open Source devs, just a thought. But yeah, positives vs negatives weigh and pick.
prasadvara··on The Year of Internal Tools
It’s super lightweight and incredible.

As long as the phase of the software and users are lighweight - agree these internal tools can be built, but as scale comes that is when the challenges show up is what I have observed.

prasadvara··on The Year of Internal Tools
Where internal tools shine is internal operational workflows that are being done manually.

This is the key distinction people need to understand, until then it just piles up and lot of companies main business is not software, something else.
