I’m back on Xitter! The research community reach here is far bigger than BlueSky.
Now that I’m (@S3TechInno) venturing into Physical AI along with EarthByte Lab (earthbytelab.com), I’ll post progress & my contributions to various OSS can be found in GitHub.
Client's server crashed every 30 seconds. A bundled library assumed a modern CPU but the hardware was too old. Standard fixes failed because the crash hit before any config was read. We built a startup script that swaps in a compatible version and caches it. Rock solid since!

Need a resilient database? We deploy distributed SQL solutions using CockroachDB and YugabyteDB. Gain PostgreSQL compatibility and fault tolerance without the operational overhead. Contact us today for a custom implementation plan. s3techinnovations.com/#conta…

Thank you to listening to developers!
We’ve read your posts and heard your feedback.
1. We’re postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions to take time to re-evaluate our approach.
2. We are continuing to reduce hosted-runners prices by up to 39% on January 1, 2026.
We have real costs in running the Actions control plane. We are also making investments into self-hosted runners so they work at scale in customer environments, particularly for complex enterprise scenarios. While this context matters, we missed the mark with this change by not including more of you in our planning.
We need to improve GitHub Actions. We’re taking more time to meet and listen closely to developers, customers, and partners to start. We’ve also opened a discussion to collect more direct feedback and will use that feedback to inform the GitHub Actions roadmap. We’re working hard to earn your trust through consistent delivery across GitHub Actions and the entire platform.

Supercharge your data strategy. We automate daily PostgreSQL 17 backups directly to AWS S3 using docker-compose. It is efficient, reliable, and takes less than 30 lines of code to handle the entire schedule. Stop worrying about data loss and focus on innovation. Contact us today.

Just wrapped up a monumental migration: moving our client's backend from raw SQL to Prisma ORM. The GitHub diff says it all: +13,527 additions and -6,643 deletions. The codebase is finally modernized, please reach out if you need such services.

Remember when Redis pulled this exact move?
→ Community forked it into Valkey
→ Major distros dropped Redis
→ One year later Redis crawled back to open source
MinIO is speedrunning the same mistake

The real lesson:
Your open-source community is not a customer acquisition funnel you can strip-mine.
It’s your moat.
Burn it down and someone will build something better next door.
Usually in Rust. 🦀

MinIO just went from “beloved open-source project” to “cautionary tale” speedrun to chaos!
Let me tell you about the most spectacular community self-destruction of 2025

The community response when features got stripped and the GitHub discussion got locked?
chef’s kiss
“Anyway, thanks for all the fish-time to fork and build.”

The timeline of pain:
2021: Switch from Apache 2.0 → AGPLv3
2025: Strip admin features from free tier
Oct 2025: Kill pre-built binaries (1 BILLION Docker pulls btw)
Dec 2025: Community Edition enters “maintenance mode”
Commercial license? $96k/year. For 1TB. 💀

LLM-generated job applications have become a plague.
Same structure. Same empty phrases. “I would be thrilled to bring my expertise.” Cover letters that hit every keyword in order, written by something that never actually read the posting. We got tired of it. So we built defenses

If you’re still writing your own applications: you stand out more than ever.
Be specific. Have a voice. Sound like yourself.
The “perfect” LLM cover letter is the new spam folder. Hiring teams are catching on fast.

Dealing with LLM spam in your own systems? Job applications, forms, user input, whatever it is.
Reach out to S3 Tech Innovations. We built these defenses. We can help you build yours. s3techinnovations.com/#conta…

We deploy Plausible analytics across all client websites: no cookies, no personal identifiers, no consent banners.
GDPR & India's DPDP Act complaint. Plausible satisfies this by design.
Privacy-respecting analytics ships standard with every site we build.

Just shipped a new client website built with Next.js/React and styled with Tailwind CSS within a week! Super excited… it's fully optimized for both mobile and desktop for a seamless user experience w/ SEO optimization & caching. Love seeing projects come to life! #webdevelopment
