I love reading all of the DuckDB love here. It's good software.

Remember duckdb is for OLAP, not OLTP!

The claim of "built for teams that measure latency in microseconds" is conflicted by the pseudo demo showing a simple query that takes 4 seconds. I could assume that this is slowed down for effect, but the glowing green label[1] t

Funnily enough, I didn't even have the speaking aspect in mind. I don't like how the "times" symbol floats off the line -- it's a visual thing for me (again, irrational).

Ah, yes. My gripe is certainly US American flavored.

An irrational gripe of mine is how GPT uses 7× instead of 7x. I recognize that the former is the multiplication symbol, but I don't think it should be used that way.

'Tis a good workhouse, indeed. I hope they give us a 4.0 Pro that can use Flash subagents soon.

Knowing what I know now, I definitely would've opted for dual-credit rather than honors/AP classes, and CLEPed out of the remainder of freshman year basics.

Thanks for the candor.

I like this a lot. Do you handle scenarios where the data and context live in a data warehouse (Snowflake, etc)? There are a lot of operational needs that exist downstream from dbt models that combine data from the various source systems.

How would we rate this revised version on a scale from 1-10? """ Totally fair. You can build the first 10-minute demo with an LLM now. The hard part is usually what comes after. You need editable state, templates, and email-s

I have no affiliations with the team or product, but Superconductor reminded me of Jules when I tried it a couple of months ago. It might be overkill features-wise, but there's a free tier and it likely won't be left for dead anyt

Re: difference -- Ok, I think I understand. Ultimately, we need a "permissions" layer and you've built a solve for that. Re: README -- I can't recall a specific repo with one off the top of my head so took a stab at edit

I'm biased since I built a dbt[1] inspired utility[2] that turns markdown into a runnable DAG, but I think a new language is the wrong abstraction. In a time where people are reading less and less code, introducing a new surface area -

> Due to the way Bibtex works, you may need to compile at least three times to see correct reference numbers in the PDF. I'm not sure I understand why the second or third compile would work, but not the first.

Lol thank you for sorting. Are the scores here normalized such that each point difference is equidistant?

I hear you -- you and other teams are capable of building internal versions that just work. I'm equally excited -- I've spent much of my career building janky internal versions of popular SaaS out of necessity since we didn't

Many, many people do not have the capacity to build and maintain custom solutions (whether in-house skills, or simply bandwidth) and therefore outsource to vendors. It's an incredibly common aspect of business. Enterprise level contrac

Re OLAP: It's probably ~good enough~ for a lean team that's trying to keep the tech stack standard and/or doesn't have a dedicated data person to take advantage of a columnar store.
