Building agents that's fast enough to help a human on a sales call respond in real time is no joke
But @thatguybg and @microhq figured out how to do it with @mastra@recallai:
something new just happened here, at our live Postgres hacking session:
youtube.com/live/Nu6RdU3aemk…@recallai was streaming our words right to @claudeai code, so we worked on new @PostgreSQL patches (support of logical decoding on physical standbys replaying WALs from archive) just talking
claude code became acting participant in this zoom call
going to explore this model further
look at it here: youtube.com/live/Nu6RdU3aemk…
we had an incident because we migrated traffic to a brand new s3 bucket.
our millions of servers instantly crushed the new bucket’s partitions and started getting slammed with 5xx errors
The previous bucket had intelligently adapted its partitioning to our specific traffic pattern.
The new bucket had zero history and its default partitioning was a terrible fit for our workload.
Fun fact: when an S3 server is overloaded it will return a 503 Slow Down
On any network, you can see who is on a video call, their movements or speech patterns by sniffing the RTP headers. Even if your browser shows as “secure”, RTP headers are completely unencrypted over the wire. Here's what's leaking 🧵
RTP headers are sent in plaintext and are rich in metadata. The SSRCs identify who is speaking or sharing their webcam. Header extensions expose more, they often signal the volume of audio or the orientation of video, just to name a couple.
Thankfully the audio and video are fully encrypted. You may be wondering “doesn’t WebRTC use DTLS for UDP traffic?”. The answer is sort of. DTLS is used to establish the keys for RTP payloads but the RTP is still sent directly over UDP so you end up with the headers in plaintext! Yet they call this SRTP 🤷
We asked a dozen DevTool founders from companies like @RevenueCat, @greptile, @firecrawl, @infisical, @ollama, @resend, @mintlify, @UnslothAI, @porterdotrun, and @recallai, about the state of AI agents and the future of software engineering.
In this episode of Founder FAQ, we covered everything from agents as customers and the end of coding, to advice for founders starting out and what they're most excited about going forward. Their answers might surprise you.

In its default configuration, kernel logs and cloud-init logs are both written to the serial port. If you launch your application from cloud-init, and you’re not careful, your app logs will also be streamed directly from stdio → cloud-init → ttyS0.
