What if it takes a long time to process the callback? Some servers don't handle this well by default and you have to customise to make it work.

I use Django with Procrastinate which uses Postgres for the task backend. Took a while to find the right Django setup, but it works like a dream.


Yeah, that's usually when async becomes unavoidable for me too — long tasks, retries, scheduling.

Even with Postgres queues I still end up doing a fair bit of setup, which makes me wonder if this should live outside the app.


I'm curious which countries you think are best at this?

Oh, this is actually very helpful for me! I have an AI copilot extension for LibreOffice Writer and I need to export the doc to a text file before sending it to the LLM. The problem is that I lose the semantic formatting (eg heading).

Link to the extension for anyone curious: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/99471


I know nothing about libre but in MS Word there's the office api you can use to send MD to an API, there's nothing similar? It's great to be able to read/write directly in MD.

Not mine, just discovered it today, thought it's pretty cool. I can now search if a Reddit post is made by a bot.

Doubt that devs will be completely replaced, but I'm considering moving into sales.

Moving to the dark side?

Don't know which one is the dark side anymore :)

It's the same reason why people complain about AI slop. Building a software product hasn't been a big problem for a while; there's plenty of funding out there that's ready to be deployed anytime there's a whiff that something can scale.

I think page agent is good. I've never heard of putty's pageant. And I think it's better to distinguish it from general meaning of pageant (for beauty).

Thanks!

On a separate thread - want to say that I don't think pay-per-crawl (a la Cloudflare) is a viable model. I think a better approach is to go via the usual licensing contracts. See my blog post: https://developerwithacat.com/blog/202507/cloudflare-pay-per... and an example with OpenAI / Reddit: https://openai.com/index/openai-and-reddit-partnership/

Used title from FT paywalled article https://www.ft.com/content/2622f8d7-9564-434c-bae6-a0c4c254b... as it's more meaningful

Partner with a lawyer. Offer equity (cofounder) or revenue split, whatever works.
