As a career? Almost certainly not but I do think I (and probably many others on hn) would still do it as a hobby

As a few others have said Plaid is actually rather cheap if you only have a handful of accounts. I created my own personal finance tracker when Intuit Mint shut down and Plaid costs me $1.80 per month for all my linked accounts which feels very reasonable to me

There are some studios who do this already (A24 for example who have produced a number of relatively popular films). But agreed that the big studios have focused on sequels and formulaic content for the most part

This is essentially the definition for complexity that Ousterhout argues for in the book A Philosophy of Software Design. I highly recommend reading it if you haven’t, it’s very good.

https://marginalia-search.com/ is a great way to find small indie blogs

Which part of Michigan are you in? I know some people that live up in northern Michigan where they don't bother salting the roads in the winter and just put down sand instead which I would imagine contributes to better longevity

To me these blog posts seem more like a company that wants to differentiate itself from openAI and others by putting out high quality technical content to be consumed by developers so that they stay top of mind and seem more tech focused

Any executive who is fully bought in on the AI hype could see someone in their org recommending this as working against their interest and take action accordingly.

I never thought I’d see a discussion about the Underwood NIL drama on a databases blog post but here we are.

The yearly ruby release announcement getting to the top of hackernews every year certainly seems to imply that it’s not a dead language

I’ve thought the same in past years but for last year’s aoc I didn’t try to finish all the puzzles in December and let myself work on them whenever I had time throughout the year. It’s a bit less fun because the general zeitgeist isn’t focused on it outside of December but still totally possible to finish them at your own pace.

As a fellow first-time parent with a 1 month old at home this captured a lot of feelings that I’ve experienced recently. Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful article

The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert Caro. Fascinating book about Robert Moses’ rise to power in New York and how he managed to exert considerable influence over the city and state for decades despite never being elected to office. Caro is an exceptional author who manages to present a huge amount of information without it feeling dry.

Wow I had no idea this behavior existed. Now I’m wondering how much time I’ve wasted trying to figure out why my pipelined greps don’t show correct output

Some of these things like a visual history of changes you can get from using a git client like sourcetree. For other things you listed I’m not sure that they actually make your life easier. For instance, AI conflict resolution sounds great but what happens when it accidentally picks the wrong changes and you need to manually fix those?

I think git has a steep learning curve to begin with but once you spend some time using it things start to get a bit easier.

To echo some other comments here I use DBeaver as my daily database IDE but it doesn’t work well with SQLite. This looks like a great tool for handling that use case
