I'm here less these days, but you can hit me up on telegram t.me/tychoish
I've also made this telegram channel where I've been putting the things that I'd otherwise put here: t.me/tychoish_pub
Blog announcements will continue.
I'd like someone to make a rust library (Go would also be interesting) that would make it easy a binary shebangable.

Want to build a @getdbt pipeline that can seamlessly connect across different data sources? You can do that with GlareDB! Check out the video for a preview, this repo for an example (twtr.to/Ma2xu), & this post for a step-by-step walkthrough (twtr.to/NqZkQ).
I'm sure the novelty will wane, but I've been getting a lot of kicks out of referring to the last 20 years or so of Apache Foundation as "the hadoop cinematic universe."
Look, I wrote a thing!
Ever wonder how to get the most out of your database? In our latest blog post we dive into what makes databases fast and what you can do, for any database at any scale, to get the best query performance you can.

Hot take: the reason why Star Trek (mostly) and The Culture (almost entirely) don't have money is because they're liberal fantasies, not socialist/communist (materialist) fantasies.
I think we should have common language about "read (past tense) bugs" which are bugs you discover when reading code rather than by observing incorrect behavior or semantics.
This feature was, soup-to-nuts, all my work, but I don't think I'm entirely off base when I say, it's pretty cool.

'In v0.8.0, we added a few features to GlareDB to support what I've
been thinking of as "workload sharding." This grew
out of work we were doing internally using GlareDB; since we
found this pattern useful, we thought you might as well.'

I kind of cringe at the fact that I open issues on open source repos like someone who just read karl fogel's book.
the messages are fine, good even, but I feel generationally out of places.
it's not even warranted because I really started doing this software thing in 2009-2016, which is too late for being this weird.
Wouldn't it be cool if there were a google-keep style "shared task list" or just collab notes editing (so something not quite taskobot.com/, which is good but different)
so I've been really keen to work on these posts about how we, @GlareDB, have been thinking about the future that we're building, because I think it's important that we take this really cool thing that we're building and make sure that it (and the world) is ready for...
... this isn't to say that any particular problem with crypto would be solved by having had better science fiction writers, but it sure wouldn't have made things worse.]
If you don't have star trek we'd have gotten something very different from modern technology.
To develop new things, you have to have people who dream, otherwise you get a lackluster recapitulation of whatever crap you already have.
