> It's a weird trend that seems almost entirely motivated by people wanting open source projects in their resume Developer here. I can't speak to what you see as the weird trend, but I can speak about sq's history: - I created the first version of sq circa 2013 as my own personal dev tool to address some pain points (amongst other things: getting JSON out of various DBs from the command line in a consistent manner, and wanting an easy way to inspect DB schemas, i.e. "sq inspect") - It was starting to be a minor PITA dealing with colleagues asking for the latest revision of the tool, so I open-sourced it. In 2016 or so I think? - sq is FL/OSS and will remain so, no funding is sought, not even one of those "buy me a coffee" thingies - I didn't create this HN post about sq, nor do I know the person who did. But thanks for sq's 15 mins of fame, kind stranger
