In all seriousness, I’d take a “s3 is all you need for durable workflows” and use it in data processing applications that move data from s3 -> s3 with no other dependencies.

For a webapp I’m building I started out with migra and plain sql, but ended up going with sqlalchemy partly because the library was deprecated. Great to see someone picking it up! Thank you.

I know this might be hard for some people to hear, but I want to share my thoughts to promote, in a small way, a common understanding of different perspectives.

My genuine trouble with this kind of post is that I don’t know if it is true.

How do I know the guy isn’t trying to get donations for local groups? Is that an odd question to ask after the dominant lens through which we analyze action is “cui bono?”

How do I know that this didn’t come from some Russian intel group? Is that an odd question to ask after Russian interference is all over the media during our elections?

It’s the problem of our society today: we don’t share a common view of reality.

Thanks - I didn't know this but that makes sense!

> But startups run on belief. Once you stop believing, the company is dead, even if the bank account isn’t. We had tried everything we set out to test. The data was clear: people weren’t switching. Grinding for another year hoping for a miracle wasn’t persistence; it was denial.

Big kudos to you for being honest with yourself. That kind of groundedness and self awareness is rare quality, and one I’d want in a leader of my company.

I applied and had the same experience you did—no confirmation and didn’t hear back.

If I recall correctly, it was explicit somewhere that they would only contact you if you were accepted. With the volume of applications they likely got, I give them some grace—I think it’s great they have a program like that at all.

Interesting! I can see this being valuable to retailers. One question I have after looking at the landing page--how does it work? Is this something like similarweb that tracks traffic and relevance? Or, is this something you put on your server to measure traffic? Something else altogether?

Thanks for the details—Its encouraging to hear how you approached it, and I’m glad it worked!

Can you share a little more? Because this is outside the norm I’m hearing and I’d like to know more.

kpt is a package-centric toolchain that enables a WYSIWYG configuration authoring, automation, and delivery experience, which simplifies managing Kubernetes platforms and KRM-driven infrastructure at scale by manipulating declarative Configuration as Data.

Great work and I like the concept of Dashboards-as-Code. Thank you for building this.

I know burnout can be extremely difficult.

Take a 2 week vacation first. Make sure it’s 2 weeks (or more, if you can swing it). One is not enough. Actually travel—it doesn’t matter where. Just get out of your normal environment and habits for a little while.

You’re not aiming to solve burnout with the vacation, but only getting some time and space to think and gain a little more perspective.
