I think Prisma does type-safe ORM really well on the typescript side, and was sad it doesn't seem to be super supported in python. This feels sort of similar and makes a lot of sense!

Thanks! Haven't used Prisma much myself, but glad the approach resonates.

seems nice. I imagine the strategy here is going for expanding user base so Apple can sell more software services?

just one q: have you been to china before?

I think there are profitability requirements, right?

Profitability in both 3 month and 12 month spans. Also minimum 12 months of trading history after IPO.

+1, very polite way of saying it. of course there's a difference between the two posts. open source is interesting but not enough with a financial app, since it's all about trust + usefulness.

landing page needs to look good and communicate the value prop super effectively. If it doesn't look good you'll lose people's interest in about 2 seconds.

probably the "slapping steamOS" part of that

my only minor critique is using lorem ipsum examples. It tends to make me want to gloss over instead of reading; I prefer seeing realistic data. other than that, it's a really cool post

It also creates the tables, including invoice and lineitem tables. It's still a bit of a dull accounting example, rather than something like food, superheroes, social networks, zoo animals, sports, or dating, but I think the randomness does add a little bit of humor.

Although now we have LLMs, and maybe they'd do a better job.

Was going to post the same thing. Lorem Ipsum makes the data too hard to distinguish. I get that due to the dynamic nature of the examples the text needed to be generated, but Latin isn't the best choice IMO.

Otherwise great article, thank you!

It's the same for me when foo and bar are used as examples.

Someone gave me the advice to use animals, ideally animals of very different sizes or colours. People instantly picture them and remember them.

right, it is just syntactic sugar, but if that wasn't helpful then why have it in dev either? I find it more confusing to have asserts be stripped, which creates an implicit dev/prod discrepancy

really? it's pretty but I find it unreadable/unusable

Same here, I can't scroll smoothly at all even when I try (Windows mouse setting set to 15 lines per scroll tick)

At least they tried something different.

I wish they hadn’t

I didn't think much of it until I canceled Cursor to try out copilot, which is slower and yet also worse quality. I reluctantly resubscribed to Cursor.
