    If you’re on tech twitter you may have noticed an increasing dissent with Stripe and it’s DX. t3.gg (Theo) summarizes it best: “IMO, the biggest issue with Stripe is the "split brain" it inherently introduces to your code base. When a customer checks out, the "state of the purchase" is in Stripe. You're then expected to track the purchase in your own database via webhooks. There are over 258 event types. It's far too easy to have a payment be failed in stripe and "subscribed" in your app.” We've built an OSS abstraction to build any pricing model 1 line of code. The idea is a layer over…

    I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

    The discussion about what to use for database keys has come up a few times on HN. Integers or UUID, or maybe ULID/UUIDv7 with a time component. One that also comes up is prefixes (as used by Stripe, most famously). The biggest downside (imo) of the Stripe approach is that you either have to store them as strings, which isn't great, or strip/prepend in your API layer. So I made a new thing called UPID. It's most similar to ULID, as it includes a time-component (but with lower precision) and also encodes to a base32 alphabet. But it also includes a 20-bit prefix (allowing four…
