We're diving deep into those pesky out-of-memory errors, analyzing our new Pipedream instance status checker, and trying to figure out why someone in Asia downloads a single episode so much. :link: https://changelog.am/124

Andrew Patton (Jan 26 2026 at 23:24):just started listening to this episode and the reference to 2020 as a “killer year”, literally, feels like an upsettingly accurate way to describe 2026 so far :pensive:
“i just want an easy-going year” also feels like a wish that has been denied before we even made it through one month.
