I don’t love spending time on LinkedIn but I do love that you know what you’re going to get when you go there. There’s not some fake underlaying goal like “keeping people connected.” You’re there to promote yourself and your company, find a

It's not. Give it a read and then decide. Also, if it was, isn't that OK? You don't want discussion and debate on here? I do.

Karlicoss's HPI idea was one of my earliest inspirations here. I loved their idea of being able to somewhat "call" this database of information. The infra diagram is truly impressive!

Lots of prior art here so I knew I was not reinventing the wheel. I guess I just had to see what the challenges were first hand! FYI, if you have control over the repo ... the URL on the sidebar, "lookerproject dot org" goes to a

I love this and agree 100%. I feel like we, as a species, had to go "full internet" to understand the trade-offs of connectivity. First it was all local, then all internet, now it's feeling like the pendulum is swinging back

I would love to hear the story of where your domain came from! I love it. The idea behind Weave is something I would really like to adhere to. I take a lot of notes but get bored by tracking. That said, the origin story you have on that pag

I second both the sibling comments here but I'll add a few things: - Having a detailed meeting and project history from work helps me during interviews, writing resumes, reminding myself of previous approaches. A lot of this comes from

I've been talking about this with a friend/colleague of mine. Some of the greatest sources of data are "recorders" that are running in the background. Oura or any other activity tracker, Google Maps with location history

Thank you very much for writing all of this out! My abstracted YAML representation worked pretty well for this initial PoC but I'm seeing places where this is just not going to fly for more complicated queries. I'd much rather str

> how does this information really create significant value for myself? This was a really important question I asked myself. If I build it, will I use it? I had two answers. First, I do, somewhat regularly, have reasons to look back into

Oh, this is really fantastic, I'm going to check it out! Does you end up with an archive of the data that's being queried? In case we might be a good fit ... https://www.joshcanhelp.com/hire-me/

I've always thought that the messaging/texting interface is really nice and intuitive. It's like your terminal history but more ... personable? I got it running locally and, while I wasn't sure all of what I could do, it

I'm wary about adding chores to my life, that was something I mentioned in the article. I've been running the API crawler for a while now and, so far so good. The quantified self movement is adjacent to this but not quite. If you

I've had a few uses for PDPL so far and I'm trying to add functionality when I need it rather than taking a shortcut and just writing the script I need in $LANGUAGE. But, like you said, it was fun to build and I learned a lot so i

This is beautiful and something I wanted to accomplish, in my own way, as a part of this project. I love this: > It collects all your crap, and it puts it on a timeline. > I thought it would be neat. Everything you're describing

I totally agree. This would not work well with a large body of documentation and has some big limitations in terms of formatting. I never got to my second spike but I was looking at maintaining separate code files that could be included and

This looks great so far and glad to see others tackling this tough problem! I've spent a lot of my time writing documentation and example code and, while I love the process, it's very hard to keep it all up-to-date. I wrote up a s

My experience was 100% different (but also 6+ years ago). Margins just weren't enough to build it into estimates and it was nearly impossible to sell it to clients as a line item.
