this is one of those 0.0001% time I disagree with Gary's pitch. Engineers are builders, especially the exceptional top tier ones would almost never advocate or leverage a blackbox driven magical solution like this. Solutions like these unfortunately appeal to non-tech folks like PMs and designers who almost always tend to over simplify this stuff.

I’m not sold by this pitch, as a dev there was no code snippets or examples also sounds like another NoSQL database to me. I’ll wait till this is running on prod at scale before jumping in

Can someone explain to me, with some sort of analogy, how/why building a backend with something like Rama is more scalable/better than using something like AWS Amplify, which also seems to abstract building the nitty gritty of backend. Is the idea that somehow Rama would theoretically scale and be more performant than whatever magic is going on behind the scenes in AWS Amplify?

Garry just going through your all videos one by one, loving all of them, insightful info in every video 🙇‍♂

Gary did I just watch an Ad? Is this whole video an Ad? I like it though

I am a line cook and I was able to follow. I keep on thinking about how to scale a recipe costing calculator that I built. Gives me more to think about. Thank you for publishing.

Serious question: does early stage startups benefit from this? Feels like premature optimization for scaling issues that may never happen. Since more startups don’t even reach PMF stage in their entire lifecycle. When is it appropriate to spend team engineering time to climb this rather steep learning curve?

you know what I'm just commenting on Garry's video because I know if I do so then the algorithm will suggest me more of his videos and that's what I freaking want, and yeah it would help this wonderful channel to grow as well (coz of the algorithm, of course). so I'm just here to say that Garry you rock!

The idea of Rama by Red Planet Labs revolutionizing backend development is truly remarkable. The fact that it could potentially replace the need for multiple databases and drastically reduce the amount of code required is mind-boggling. I was particularly impressed by the example of building a scalable clone of Mastodon with Rama, achieving the same functionality with a fraction of the code and development time. Such efficiency and scalability are game-changers for the industry.

How do they plan to make money? What is the catch?

nice rolex Garry! that being said, i really liked your first videos where you were not promoting the businesses that you are an investor of...

Attaching to ig and too much censorship killed it

Take a shot every time Garry repeats "Don't Repeat Yourself"

Thanks for sharing. This looks pretty awesome.

Planet scale helps with MySQL scaling issues as well, Very interesting though.

A War crime is a War Crime, even when committed by allies...... What part of that do you disagree with?

Isn’t finding pmf more important than learning how to use a new db? Would try it if company is in scaling phase would love some sort of migrator

Code with Rama, without drama.

Eh! I made a twitter clone when I started learning to code, didn’t even need a DB!

Threads. A place where you can talk with Aunty Em about how bad Trump is and catch up on the latest Gen Z crocheting tips.

Hi Garry, what's the best way to reach you? Email works?

complacent developers who entered the field not with a passion to build, but for cushiony jobs and eagerly wait to punch out are about to be replaced sooner than we expected. rightfully so.

Thank you so much Garry for sharing! I would have spent huge amount of time learning old tools if I hadn't watched this episode! I am much more excited about learning new tools that make software engineering more efficient! You are our hero Garry!

How is it different from Grafbase?

Convochat is trying to compete with Tik Tok

So all the data structure interview puzzles going to be more useless 😂

Interesting!

Will this be open source?

The comparisons are so misleading. When building a clone, you already have a clear path, as opposed to when building an original/new product, you have to experiment, and make so many mistakes along the way, hence the “millions” lines of code. I don't have anything against RAMA, but this is not an educational/informational video.

it seems now all of your videos are about the ventures you have invested in ...its looking more like promotion than education

so everything i learned in college wont be relevant no more?

let me guess.. you fund these guys lol

Garry, I want to work for you

Zuch copies ideas and is not an innovator. I'll put my $ with Elon.

First😁
