wwdmaxwell··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
I think Amazon uses an internal platform called Dynamo as a KV store, it’s different than DynamoDB, so im thinking the outage could be either a dns routing issue or some kind of node deployment problem.

Both of which seem to prop up in post mortems for these widespread outages.

wwdmaxwell··on Vector database that can index 1B vectors in 48M
Aside from being serverless. This is like elasticsearch but with a kind of built in redis-like layer, I think.
wwdmaxwell··on Nobody knows how to build with AI yet
I only call provider APIs and try to include only devDependancies in my project.

Really helped my understanding of how apps work.

wwdmaxwell··on Show HN: Code Search Mcp for GitHub
I built this tool because I was getting frustrated by having to clone repos of libraries/APIs I'm using to be able to add them as context to the Cursor IDE (so that Cursor could use the most recent patterns). I would've preferred to just proxy GitHub search, but I (maybe also GitHub) couldn't figure out how to get reliable results based on a query.

My next step is to add the ability to specify a tag/branch to search specific versions of code bases, I also need to level up a bit more on my understanding of optimizing converting text to vectors.

wwdmaxwell··on Show HN: App to buy groceries online
This is my first app in the apple store, it's for a business idea I started up while working for a Retail Real Estate Developer as a way to leverage their existing assets for ecommerce, rather than watch all their tenants shrink in size.
wwdmaxwell··on Show HN: Reddit on a map
Hi, I'm sure many of you could probably blow this out of the water, but I'm pretty proud of this little app. This is my first app. Having graduated with a degree in Biology I decided to teach myself ruby on rails to put together a "news map" because I felt this was missing when I was looking for my first place to buy, and I wanted to get a vibe of a local area.
