The @convex Discord bot is a special cookie, Ian built a strong foundation for it two years ago.
We updated it recently, added Jev @typesafeai, and bam, we got ourselves a decent mod bot.
You know what's funny about it? It costs less than 10 cents :D

Parents, please check your kids’ Halloween candy. I just found row-level security stuffed inside one of them.

All gas, no breakages.
day 2 of making cool vids for startups: today @convex, my favorite tech product and brand.
when code is cheap and you can build anything from scratch, you might as well hand the hard parts to the people who care most about them. that's what it means to abstract. from latin abstrahere: abs- "away" + trahere "to draw." to draw away.
convex does exactly that: a reactive backend platform that draws away the complexity of building apps, so you can focus on your product and ship cool stuff.
ps, don't work at convex (i wish) or affiliated

Agents love state machines!
You know what’s super useful when implementing state machines in your backend?
• Discriminated unions in your DB schema
• End-to-end type safety
• ACID transactions
• Reactive queries

We just published a security advisory that affects the stream and paginator helpers from convex-helpers.
We recommend that all affected users update to convex-helpers@0.1.127 (or newer) to get the fix. We also applied a best-effort mitigation to Convex cloud deployments.
This bug could be exploited to query documents outside the range of the query filters.
It affects users of:
• the stream and paginator helpers from convex-helpers in their own code
• components that use these helpers internally (Agent, RAG, Workflow, R2, AI Budget)
