Every 4 to 6 years; using Iphone.

Usually wait for some reason to change, which is almost always unrelated to features on new phones. Either the phone breaks, gets lost or there is something specific I want which my phone doesn't have. Plan to get a new one this year to get a bigger screen, otherwise would have kept the existing one which works perfectly fine, does everything I need and is going on 6 years without any issues.

Short answer, maybe. Until you specify your needs or use case it is very difficult to say.

In general, most if not all, benchmarks I have seen comparing Postgres to RAM key value stores has always had postgres coming significantly slower. If speed is the most important factor then likely no, you still need a key value store.

Also, you wrote "small scale", but even that can be ambiguous. Is it small scale because it is small, but you still need fast lookups? or is it "small scale" because it is a small setup and speed is not an issue?

It ultimately comes down to your needs and your appetite for having a second technology if you already have postgres. Sometimes, even if a second technology is better at something, the overhead of having the second technology may not be worth it.

Over the last 3 months I have been working on my own agentic editor. Hope to make the code available within the next 2 weeks. So right now is mostly Claude Code and my own editor (named codemeld). Before that it was Claude Code and Open code.

For PRD I created a PRD framework PRDwise. That has worked well for me and plan to make that into a community. I have really bee focusing most of my pare time on the editor, but want to get back to the PRD framework soon to make it more multi-user friendly (i.e. so can be used by a team instead of a single individual).

Just to get some study support mainly

In that case, and it depends exactly on your needs, you may to consider something bigger than DSF 0731. If you find that DSF 0731 can't handle something you could give GLM 5.3 a try. It is more expensive, but still reasonable. Or if you can afford it, the lowest tier of Claude plans is a reasonable value for casual use.

I have

  • Claude code / GPT subscriptions
  • openrouter about $30 to $50/month
  • venice.ai about $30 to $50/month

I am constantly testing and have found that deepseek v4 flash, glm 5.3 flash and GPT 5.6 Luna do a pretty decent job with most simple tasks. So often they are the ones I go to first for the simple stuff or do a first pass for a lot of things. It depends whether I still have credits for the claude / gpt plans

You can really do quite a bit with deepseek v4 flash cheaply. Also, remember that you pay a lot more for output than for input so if you had something like

  • Deepseek does most of the work
  • A more expensive model checks <--- there is a lot less writing there

Or if you want model diversity

  • Deepseek flash 0731 does work
  • GLM 5.3 flash doest first round of checks
  • More expensive model checks

Not sure if you are using PRDs or a more free-format development.. if you are using PRD suggest this

  • Create your tasks
  • Have Tencent Hy3 (not hy4) / GLM 5.3 flash review the task and give feedbacks. Imagine you have task.md then task-hy3.md and task-glm.md then use GPT Luna to review all 3
  • DSF 0731 does work
  • your choice of reviewer(s)

That will likely increase your quality for relatively little cost. Suggest you try and automate as much as possible.

I have found that multi model workflows, at least for me, increases quality, at the expense of time and complexity.

I have had good results from Deepseek V4 Flash 0731, but the way I use it is:

  • Let deepseek take a first pass
  • Have a second agent review

Also GPT 5.6 Luna is also well priced and for smaller context behaves similar to Terra at high reasoning.

If budget is tight I would say Deepseek Flash implement and Luna review.

Model diversity, at least on my experience, leads to better results. Also, have found the GPT family of models seem to do well as reviewers (at least on my testing / use cases seem to do better on reviewing that coding).

paid version of DeepSeek

If you meant using the Deepseek company plan vs just using their model, I have not used it directly from Deepseek. I use OpenRouter / Venice.ai.

I don't use radicle yet, but from what I understand I don't see how it would change anything connectivity wise for your team. If you have private repos you self host in a company server, radicle would behave exactly the same. You would still not want it exposed publicly and would still need the VPN.

If anything, you could be less safe since a miss configuration would mean Radicle publishing, and potentially many others seeding, your private repos.

In many, if not most, startups and small companies titles don't mean much. You have to do more than you were usually hired for.

Try and learn as much as you can as fast as you can and then either ask for more money or look for another job.

As long as the environment is not bad, it may be a good learning experience. When I compare my startup years to some of my co-workers who never worked at a startup I was able to learn a lot more than them. Many of my co-workers have only worked at large companies so they were never exposed to a wide range of tasks because in larger companies jobs are far more segregated and specialized.

How much data? How often does it change? A common pattern is software like Restic saving to any S3 compatible service. There are quite a few, but one of the common, and affordable, one is B2 from backblaze.

You also did not mention what OS. The options for windows are very different from what you can get for Mac / Linux. Many of the Linux options are able available for Mac and Mac has some options of it's own which are Mac only.

Without even the most basic info about your setup and what you are trying to backup it is hard to give anything beyond generic suggestions.

Agree that the author should have given attribution to the image, but this is an author who has created packages well before LLMs ever existed so I would cut him some slack.

Additionally, he is re-iterating a topic which has been discussed by many other authors. A few points he raise I had not seen before so still found it an interesting read.

This I suggest you change or indicate one can manage digest somewhere. I did not want to select that since I don't want digests, but it won't let me register otherwise. Also, just seems like a bad thing to request. That should be a setting, not a requirement.

Two weeks ago I laid off more than 20% of my workforce. I didn’t do it because Cloudflare is struggling. We posted record revenue growth, have strong free cash flow and are adding an unprecedented number of customers around the world.

And since we are doing so great let's fire 20% of our workforce because obviously they were not a factor in our success. Besides what could possibly go wrong firing 1/5 of our company. Is not like there is lots of tribal knowledge that AI won't be able to figure out.

I like the idea, but wonder if a lemmy community may have been just as good. The main friction I think many of us will have is "one more place to go to". Also, I think the founders likely should step up to create content initially otherwise you run into

  • New user visits
  • Nothing here to see.. I like the idea; will bookmark to check later
  • Later never comes and the person just forgets about the project

In my opinion the founders need to create some, even if minimal, value for new users until there is a critical mass.
