I am curious to find out more about those "prompt packages". Where can I see the list of them?
yla92··on One of the best podcasting apps you know is built by a single person
Yep, been using PocketCasts and it is pretty good.

Recently they made their apps opensource as well.

yla92··on Amazon to lay off 9,000 more workers after earlier cuts
I always thought AWS is profit center and won't be impacted by the layoffs. It's interesting to see it here. Compared this to Google, GCP was not impacted by the layoff.
yla92··on Tracking the Fake GitHub Star Black Market
TIL: you can buy (fake) GitHub stars.

That was a bit shocking to me to learn.

yla92··on Meta plans to lay off 10k employees
> In our Year of Efficiency, we will make our organization flatter by removing multiple layers of management. As part of this, we will ask many managers to become individual contributors.

I am curious what people think about this.

> It's slower than Ruby.

Any reference/numbers to back this up ? Just genuinely curious about this.

yla92··on Ask HN: What is your new year's resolution?
Good question! On top of my head, this is what I plan to do

- Timebox some activities (e.g browsing Instagram/Reddit/HN to 10 min a day or so)

- Set a deadline for the activities I have been avoiding to do

- Do some activities not just by myself but also with some friends. e.g reading a book together.

yla92··on Ask HN: What is your new year's resolution?
- Read more books/long form essays.

- Less Procrastination

- Less reading the tutorials and start doing more "practical" stuff. i.e. write more code.

- A blog post a week on my measly blog - https://blog.yelinaung.com/ - write anything that I find fun and learned!

- Find a new job!

yla92··on CircleCI Layoffs
100% can back the claim about Travis. It is awful and very buggy.

For our case, we are migrating to the Google Cloud Build. More stable and features but also some things are still lacking. Nonetheless, a big step up from Travis.

yla92··on Chris Seaton has died
I saw this tweet and I was wondering about the language used there like "permanent rest" but was thinking he was going to delete his Twitter account. Will miss seeing his comments on HN and his contributions. RIP, Chris.

yla92··on How rate hikes are affecting the economy
A lot of "hiring freeze" and some "lay offs". It's getting ugly.

Anybody knows if there is similar pattern for Python's asyncio?
yla92··on Things to know about databases
Great post. Also highly recommend Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann (https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Data-Intensive-Applications...). The sections on "Storage and Retrieval", "Replication", "Partitioning" and "Transactions" really opened up my eyes!
