I'm struggling to remember/find the exact story but like 6 months ago, some dev had built a guestlist or q&a & used some off the shelf Notion-y thing - maybe some form builder tool.

There was seemingly IMHO a lot of protest the dude didn't make some kind of php script or something one off & "simple" for the job.

But they'd used existing tools.to make a real data pipeline. And potentially could keep making new tools around similar pipelines. They had invested in some pipe building technology and it felt like no one was interested in giving credit for that.

Seperately, Karlicoss has HPI as their personal data toolkit/pipeline, and a massive map of services & data systems they've roped into HPI (and HPI-near) systems. https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html
