- mixmastamyk 2y agoGood software takes ten years, at least according to Joel. That’s a significant application of course.

- ReleaseCandidat 2y ago> Out of curiosity, what took you 10 years That's not the first release, that's "just" 3.0, they released QStudio 1.25 in 2013 (their first blog post) https://www.timestored.com/b/qstudio-kdb-ide-1-25-released/ https://www.timestored.com/b/qstudio-kdb-ide-1-25-released/
- RyanHamilton 2y agoYear 1 - Getting the first version out that worked for me and my colleagues. Year 2 - Cleaning it up enough to promote wider use. Documentation. Years 3-5 - Minor bug fixes only as I thought qStudio solved the problem. Years 6 - I realised restricting qStudio to only 1-2 database technologies was foolish. Major change to support many more databases. Improved generic SQL highlighting. Added a partial dark mode. Years 7-8 - Minor bug fixes. Year 9 - Added a proper Dark Mode and support for many themes by using FlatLaf. Now looking properly modern. Year 10 - Realise that I'm not fully solving the problem. That actually for most data analysts I should support creating the analysis (pivot table) and improve exporting (real excel export, not just nicely escaped CSV). There were more learnings, like I should definitely have went fully open source at the start. It's harder to do later.
