if you are running on DigitalOcean Postgres db you need to do the following to make it work easily:

1. Copy the ca-certificate.crt file from the DigitalOcean dashboard and place it in your project root directory.
2. change the file mode to 644:
chmod 644 ca-certificate.crt
3. use this whenever you are running drizzle-kit commands:
NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=./ca-certificate.crt pnpm drizzle-kit push or any other command
4. Vola! you are good to go!

Today prod was down for like 6 hrs because of our issue while saving some fields and better-auth couldn't tell us the issue 😁😁😁

Thanks to kinfish we were able to produce a solution to our problem and enhancements PR to Better-auth 🔥.

Still Rocking with better Auth for everything.

Kinfish can testify he saw better-auth inside python 😂😂😂 don't ask me how.

Trust me on this guys whenever you use background worker with some worker framework MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS USE TASK QUEUE instead of throwing every tasks at one queue specially in redis queue

some work might occupy so much stuff other priority task might get delayed the execution so make sure to start early to use task queue for different group of tasks

Don't wait to find your passion.

I see a lot of new students still asking me the same questions, and it reminds me of a simple truth: You don't have to like your work on the job, but you have to love it if it's yours.

If you don't love what you're doing, find your path early. Your years in college or your early 20s are the most advantageous time you'll ever have. If you're studying programming but you honestly don't like it, get out now. Learn what you need for your degree, but honestly, find what you're truly passionate about.

If you've got no passion yet, find work that doesn't just make you attend a bunch of meetings and feel "important." Your goal is to find what you love and get started early, no matter how complex it seems. It's like a tangled rope—you untie it slowly. The more time you take now, the more you advance later.

Your passion doesn't have to match your degree. Find it and start doing it. Ask the "dumb" questions in your dorm room or your garage. This is your time. So find what you love, and just keep doing it.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate our community. The tech community in Ethiopia is seriously the best. so supportive and welcoming.

But the community we've built right here in Chapi Dev Talks? It’s on a whole other level. It's truly a crazy, unique, and amazing thing.

Lately, my job has been pretty stressful, and I know I haven't been as active as I’d like. I'm so sorry about that. I'm going to do my best to carve out more time and reply to each and every one of you.

This is a huge thank you to all of you for being so awesome. Even my friends who aren't in this community see what we have and are always telling me how incredible it is. Let's keep this momentum going!

Way to go, everyone. 🔥🔥🔥
