"The crash is the short story; the slowness is the one worth writing down."

The horror.

I'd rather read a "badly written" and to the point story, than a clone of the last 20 postmortem-ish/incredible discovery stories I've seen this week.

It'd be great if it were written as a postmortem, but seems like that's almost the only moment where a concrete hour is mentioned. Except for the screenshot footnote.

I mean, the real takeaway is they’re using Prisma 5. That reached EOL years ago, we’re on Prisma 8 now

Who found it

I didn't. I gave Claude Code the guest's screenshot and asked whether the problem was ours or his phone's. It answered that in twenty minutes and, while verifying the deploy, noticed the ten-second floor and kept pulling: the logs by hour, the 47 ms TCP measurement, the pg_stat_statements query, the arithmetic.

If your brain, dear reader, is aneurysm-proof, by all means go ahead and read TFA.

You won't learn much, though, but then again neither did its author.

The crash and the slowness turned out to be unrelated. The crash is the short story; the slowness is the one worth writing down.

And that's not slop, it's the real smoking load bearing foot gun.

To the author:

First of all, you still have the images problem (among others). Loading your home site takes around 60MB of downloads, including the autoloading 40MB MP4 file. Reduce resolution and compress. You don't need a phone to reproduce that, you just need to open your web browser development tools and reload the site to see how heavy is it. Also, the memory use calculation is off, but that's not important because probably an LLM did it.

Second, your API in karibukit.com is down

Don't rely that much in the LLM. Check things with your own eyes.
