This is the whole main challenge of the quantified self movement all over again.
There's a lot of attempts to solve this problems but not much has been found, possibly because the whole setup of ELT processes is a lot of chores (just think about the whole inconsistent formats of data across services). It's like having a second job in data engineering, and I'm not even remotely in the software/data industry! I just like and do coding as a hobby.
- joshcanhelp 2y agoI'm wary about adding chores to my life, that was something I mentioned in the article. I've been running the API crawler for a while now and, so far so good. The quantified self movement is adjacent to this but not quite. If you are gathering data from a service with an API, this can grab that and you can work with it. I used to wear the Oura ring and now I have 2+ years of data sitting in JSON on my laptop that can be ported to anywhere. I'm not really looking to, like, optimize productivity or physical output or anything, I just want to have and work with data from services that make my life a little easier.
