Re:You Are No Longer Invited to Dinner

Feel like part of the issue is everyone’s self imposed neurosis about not intruding on others. My wife insists on not ever asking to come over to someone’s house - she only wants to be explicitly invited. We invite people over to our place when we can but this leads to us basically never visiting any of our friends because they aren’t the planning type.

Isn't this a failure by the company to recognize free trial abuse sooner? and to not close the loophole immediately seems like even more of a weak behavior. Calling them out but not taking decisive action beyond claiming that they are acting immorally ultimately accomplishes nothing. Businesses are not beholden to your ideas about what is nice and fair, but whatever the rules and constraints are to your system. if you keep a practice like this that allows free trial abuse forever, why would they spend money?

Very good read! love detailed explanations on the "bad" original code and steps taken toward improving it. a lot of it comes down to personal preference and the author did a good job at respecting what might have been an intentional design decision with their optimizations by making it all configurable

gdpr might help you with data in a web database or data warehouse but if they have anything outside of that you're still screwed. I doubt a failing company has the time, energy, or resources to comprehensively clean up your data everywhere. Definitely submit the request but don't expect it to prevent your info from being resold

Realistically how much money are they even saving trying to cut librarians? They couldn't trim the fat somewhere else in the budget? Seems like a waste of time and money to try and "automate" this when they can find the funding elsewhere

How many of these tools are out there? This is like the 4th CDC to Data warehouse tool I've seen this year and I'm struggling to understand why they all exist in parallel.
I just found estuary with a colleague yesterday which didn't work and previously have seen at least two other tools promising the same CDC to Data Warehouse in-a-box pipelines. What makes this tool different?

It's honestly incredible how companies will have issues with the most core fundamental way people are attempting to use their product and no one noticed. Being unable to check out is basically throwing money into a fire and I've had it happen all the time - I take my business elsewhere.

And how do you manage the versioning and deployment of your views and mviews? What tooling do you use to refresh those materialized views on a schedule?
Is it something you've written and maintain yourself? What testing do you have on them?
I find that dbt answers all of these questions pretty simply in a way that avoids the need to reinvent the wheel. It's not some godlike piece of software, just a helpful framework wrapper around plain old SQL

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the comments is that putting a phone case on the later generations of iPhones messes with the accuracy of the touch sensation of the screen. This inevitably leads to even more typo issues because you hit something "correctly" but the input is recognized incorrectly. Not sure if this impacts Android but definitely changed with iPhones
