Career advice for young system programmers

Aug 18, 2023 | glaubercosta-11125.medium.com | Glauber Costa

Much of the advice I see online targeted at "developers" is really bad. And the funny thing is: it is bad advice, even if it is completely true. Source: https://twitter.com/glcst/status/1683101220200742914 That's because in developers' minds, it is very easy to say that a "developer" is someone who does the same things I do. But in practice, there are many kinds of developers, focusing on drastically different problems. Much of the advice online takes the form of "who needs this anyway?".
SQLite-based databases on the postgres protocol? Yes we can!

Jul 4, 2023 | blog.turso.tech | Glauber Costa

libSQL “server mode” (sqld) enables access to SQLite-based databases using Postgres and HTTP network protocols. Applications built on SQLite are very easy to get started with. SQLite requires no setup, no maintenance, and no scaling, and the result of that execution lies entirely in a single file that you could drop into your CI/CD for quick verification. What’s not to like?
Why Open Source is a terrible way to build products, yet most great products use Open Source.

Jun 2, 2023 | blog.turso.tech | Glauber Costa

Some 15 years ago I had a falling out with an acquaintance of mine over a realization I had that Open Source is an absolutely terrible way to build products. When I shared this, I could immediately feel the atmosphere in the room darkening.

My personal YouTube storyWhen my first kid was around one year old, I developed a bad case of insomnia. He was a terrible sleeper, and would wake up frequently. I started leaving the bed and sleeping on the couch, which was at least far enough from his bedroom to try and ameliorate that. But I'm a creature of habit, and after a while I just couldn't sleep, even if the kid wouldn't wake up. I was never mad at him. Maybe only parents will understand that, but your kids...
We are now proud sponsors of Drizzle

If you're following the new hot developments in TypeScript infrastructure, you may have heard of Drizzle by now. Bytes.dev recently had a great piece on it, summarizing the reasons why Drizzle is a breath of fresh air for the space and those looking for alternatives to Prisma. In particular, Drizzle fully embraces TypeScript and allows you to define your schema in a type-safe manner, without an intermediate representation or code generation.

Let’s face it: our industry has a penchant for buzzwords. As people try to differentiate themselves and establish their own relevance, they often try to do this by inventing and capturing terms that may or may not mean something. So you would be forgiven for thinking that “the Edge” is just yet another such buzzword.
What have we learned from a year of ChiselStrike?

Feb 1, 2023 | medium.com | Glauber Costa

ChiselStrike’s CEO shares lessons learned from our first year. For the past year, we have been building ChiselStrike in the open. During this time, we have built a great Discord community with over 200 members, and got a decent amount of Open Source activity. We’re Open Source veterans, so for us building this– or whatever we build– as an Open Source project was always a no brainer.
