Two years in this role, I own ingestion from six sources into Snowflake, roughly ninety dbt models and an Airflow schedule that ties it together. In interviews I get asked about ETL tooling and I never know whether to…
Two weeks into running three times a week and it currently feels effortless, so I am extremely tempted to add the gym, journalling and an earlier bedtime this week. My history is that I add several, keep them for a…
I wipe the chain down most evenings and relube maybe once a week, and by the following weekend there's visible surface rust on the rollers and the plates. Riding about 15km a day on roads they salt heavily from…
30 person B2B company, roughly 60 pages, and the brief was the same for all three: fix a crawling and indexing mess, then produce content. The quotes were about 1.5k, 4k and 9k a month on twelve month terms. My ceiling…
Planted an 18x18x24 six weeks ago with a pothos cutting, two small ferns, a bromeliad and some moss on the background. Everything is alive and nothing has died, but it looks exactly like it did on day one. The pothos…
The product is live, billing works, six people use it, five of whom I know. I put up a post, told two group chats, got about 40 visits, and that was apparently the whole event. I keep reading about launches as if they…
Every thread here is somebody three weeks into a new system telling us it changed their life. I want the boring version: the thing you have used continuously for two years or more, through at least one phone change and…
Card is 4100 at 22 percent, car loan is 9800 at 6 percent with four years left. Income is stable, no other debt, and I have about 800 in savings. The 300 a month is genuinely spare after everything including a small…
My annual subscription renews at just under $100 and I've been looking at what I got for last year's: a lot of matching exercises and a number that went up. I'm B1 ish in French, about 25 minutes a day, and I'd rather…
Six indeterminate plants in the ground, mulched, drip line twice a week for about 40 minutes. Over the last ten days the upper leaves on four of them have rolled up along the midrib and feel thick, almost like plastic.…
Presigned PUT straight from the browser to R2, signing with aws4fetch in a Worker. Browser says: The bucket CORS rules have and . The exact same signed URL works from curl. Single part uploads under 5 MB were fine, this…
Users upload short screen recordings, typically 8 14 MB. Sending the File in FormData to a server action 413s at about a megabyte. I can raise but I am nervous about pushing 12 MB through a serverless function that also…
Four small holes in a fine gauge merino jumper, each about 5mm. Every time I work on one it gets bigger, because the cut ends of the yarn keep pulling back as I handle the fabric. By the time I've secured one side the…
Same bottle, same brand, same everything. For two years my hair was soft and had volume. Since about six weeks ago the exact same conditioner leaves a film — waxy at the roots the next day and looking greasy by…
Team of nine, about 60 pipeline runs a day, suite is 22 minutes of which roughly 14 is integration tests hitting a local Postgres. Budget I can defend is around $300 a month. I can either pay for bigger hosted runners…
Happened twice this week in the same hotel. Shower is fine, then a distant flush, then about two seconds later it goes genuinely painful and I'm pressed against the tile. It settles back down after twenty seconds or so.…
Trying to get to about 140g a day and I plateau around 90 because I run out of ideas by dinner. I have eaten chicken breast and rice five days a week for a month and I am starting to dread lunch. No allergies, I cook,…
Sales matrix, product hierarchy on rows, months across columns, four measures. Two million rows in the fact table, which I thought was nothing. It takes 35 45 seconds every time a slicer changes. Other visuals on the…
Scheduling tool for small veterinary practices. The practice managers I need are concentrated in two forums and one group, all of which have hard no promotion rules and moderators who enforce them. I have zero…
I cut 25mm knit elastic to my waist measurement minus a couple of centimetres, join it in a circle, quarter it and stretch it in as I sew. On the table it looks right. After an hour of wear it has slid down and folded…
It's my grandfather's cookery book, the spine has come away entirely and the boards are detached, but the text block is sound and no pages are loose. The binder quoted £180 for a full rebind in cloth with new endpapers,…
Four years agency side, going solo next month, and I already have two former clients who will give me work. Everyone tells me to set up on the big marketplaces for volume and everyone also says the rates there are a…
Hit a wall telling me I had reached the weekly invitation limit after roughly a hundred requests. Acceptance rate was about 22%, so that ceiling puts me at maybe 22 new connections a week, and only a fraction of those…
I've been doing 25 30 km a week for about eight months in a pair of GBP 45 supermarket brand shoes and nothing hurts. My club mates are all in GBP 160 180 shoes and keep telling me I'm one long run away from a problem.…
/changelog is a static page, one entry a week for about a year. Plausible says 11 unique views last month. Meanwhile in three separate support threads this month people asked for things that shipped in March, and one of…
