simply preload every single visible link that the user can ever possibly click on and your nextjs app will be fast! also we'll charge you for the compute to serve all these API calls on our serverless platform!
this is what they're pedaling. absolute insanity.
Have you tried next-ai-news.vercel.app? Everything is dynamic, zero caching, fetches from Postgres, all RSC, auth / identity on every page.
If a navigation is slow it’s one or more of;
- They’re not prefetching
- They don’t have fallbacks / loaders
- They have slow backends

the year is 2025. discord drops a zencha marketing video. nature is healing.
we've rebuilt the game overlay from the ground up for a snappier, smoother experience while you chat and game with your friends ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

I kid you not, @itchio has been taken down by @OriginalFunko because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called @BrandShieldltd that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, @iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

tfw the poster has no idea what they are talking about.
Discord's Engineering is rough. (1/2)🧵
The backend has switched from MongoDB, to Cassandra, and now...Scylla?
Discord has around ~150 Million Monthly Active Users (MAU).
Facebook used plain PHP and MySQL as their engine until 2010, when they had already reached 450+ Million MAU.
Facebook in 2010 had advanced search queries, a complex social graph, as well as a full system of games.
Discord has...a slightly polished up IRC experience?
