sghosh2··on Tasks: The AI Runtime for Prompts and Tools
Does this primiarly work with Claude for now given MCP?
sghosh2··on Launch HN: Common Paper (YC W23) – SAFEs for Commercial Contracts
I’ve seen so many deals get hung up on the smallest legal issues. One time a company spent 6 months just negotiating the NDA before could even get to a POC that the champion kept pushing and wanting to do!

I think what’s cool about CommonPaper is not just having the negotiations scoped to smaller areas but also the affect on the sales cycle. If can trim months off a deal process, that can help save a startup in terms of resources spent and dollars coming in earlier.

sghosh2··on WebAssembly is eating the database?
I think what’s interesting is while UDF has existed for some time. It anecdotally has seemed to be increasing in pace in announcements recently driven by wasm. For all the benefits explained in the post leading to a great end user experience, I would expect it’s something all the database providers to roll out as tablestakes in the future.
sghosh2··on Architecture diagrams should be code
There's a company that does this already! The visualization of code and diagrams helps different times of learners I think. Which also is beneficial for knowledge transfer since everyone learns different, some better from pictures vs some better from drilling down deeper. I also think you systems thinkers having a good architecture diagrams that can be visualized in different ways can lead to insights that otherwise are hidden. https://www.codesee.io/
sghosh2··on Show HN: Zuplo – Programmable, Serverless API Management for Developers
The automated checks on authentication and keys is a very nice feature! Bringing security into the gateway directly rather than an add-on feature
sghosh2··on Using CRDTs for multiplayer text editing
Very cool use case for CRDTs! I've seen a bunch of different use cases from other products like https://liveblocks.io/ and https://electric-sql.com/. It's interesting how CRDTs are now taking hold so much for all these collaborative syncing scenarios. Wonder what's driving the proliferation now given they've been around for awhile?
sghosh2··on Lastpass Security Incident
They gave no information on what was hacked. Although they're saying no passwords were compromised because of their encryption and architecture.

For a layperson, what's the best tips for what to do. Are passwords in Lastpass still safe or should we change all the passwords? Or simply change the master? Or should we migrate to something else?

I've thought about migrating before but frankly any password manager will have breaches...

sghosh2··on API Key Authentication Best Practices
The checksum validation was something I hadn't come across before. Interesting way to minimize the load on the API key store.
sghosh2··on Building a High Performance Data Integration Framework in Go
Much more of a focus on security and infrastructure than other EL tools. Like these security policies for example - https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/core-concepts/policies
sghosh2··on Open Source and Saying “No”
I wonder if having some sort of dependency scanner giving more upfront visibility would help clear things up. Then you'd be able to get a sense of what the composition of issues might look like. Seems like there's so many scanners out there that something must solve this.
sghosh2··on Building a High Performance Data Integration Framework in Go
Great post! I was especially impressed to hear about the 80% of plug-in code being auto-generated through the SDK.
sghosh2··on A treasure hunt for microbes in Chile’s Atacama desert
Such a cool article. There's a similar movie about finding Microbiome deep in the Amazon Rainforest. It's called The Last Tepui, Alex Honnold leads a team to go climbing and look for wildlife and bacteria on the ridge of a mountain deep in the rainforest. Crazy hiking and climbing! But they find some really amazing species.

Demystifying annual budgeting for founders from the CFO at PartsTech and previous FP&A lead at Snyk
sghosh2··on How to Animate Multiplayer Cursors
The animations on the blog itself are incredible. Would love to read something in the future about how you guys put this together (i.e. what frameworks, components, tooling is used to generate these blogs).
sghosh2··on Atlassian – Case Study in Managing a Culture Transition in the Cloud
Lol not arguing with that. But Jira so cemented in company workflows that would be hard to rip out.
sghosh2··on Liveblocks: Add real‑time collaboration to your product in minutes
Solving a tough technical problem that a lot of teams struggle with. Awesome to see!
sghosh2··on Video Interviews Increase 101% in March
Interesting data. Wonder what this will look like at steady state once things revert back to normal. Everyone talks about wfh but in reality I think a lot of people are cooped up and craving human interaction even in remote-first teams before Covid.
