News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

very nice! yeah, i started with something pretty similar, but the biggest thing i was missing was the ability to code on the go from my phone. dragging and dropping images over ssh was also a pain.
the networking is very similar to tailscale, but the main use case is being able to spin up coding agents across your machines from a website. for example, i love being able to kick off agents from my phone when i’m out and about.

Thank you! With respect to datadog the elephant in the room is cardinality and pricing. We charge $20/mo and based on usage of data storage and query execution time. DD is notorious for charging for metric cardinality, which can very easily blow up. Coinbase famously racked up a $50m bill from this!

With respect to the product, we believe there's a segment of the market that likes to know what they are measuring. Datadog and other "telemetry" tools often times install an agent and collect metrics automatically. While this is a great UX onboarding, it does make it harder to know what data you have and how to query it. Whereas with telemetry we believe having that "manual shift" mode where you log your own data and write your own queries is useful in many scenarios.

I'd love to chat more if you're up for it! Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you're open to the idea.

Generally a big fan of Zed. Super fast and quite innovative in their grep UI. My biggest current gripe is Zed's filesystem watchers are either broken or misconfigured on Mac. If I do a `git rest --hard` via terminal or github desktop UI, zed doesn't detect it and I'm forced to do a hard reset of the app to get back to a synced state.
