   Thank you. I'm using SQLite3 to keep deployment simple, which unfortunately doesn't support stored procedures. Do you have any other suggestions to improve this code?

   Re: no ORMs - do you have any advice on how I could make this raw SQL insertion ( https://github.com/bbkane/starghaze/blob/54d255f524f8ef73384... ) more readable and less error prone? Right now I'm basic

   Try over and over even if it feels embarrassing. Watch how others meet new people and learn. Always say yes when invited to a group activity (within reason of course). Invite others to group activities. Smile at people. Join clubs. Read a f

   I don't really use .NET for personal projects, but issues like this that demonstrate Microsoft's apparent conflict of interest when it comes to supporting the runtime and languages ensure I probably won't be volunteering to

    LinkedIn built and uses https://iris.claims/ . I don't know how it compares to alternatives, but I find IRIS relatively pretty easy to use.

    See https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdo4fOcmZ0oV2uhlVIItf... for last years .NET Conf with some F# -> web frameworks. They look really nice, but I haven't tried them yet.

    I haven't really looked much for a replacement (instead making my little side projects CLI tools). I'm playing with Fyne (Golang) right now for a smaller side project (a TODO list app with just the features I want). The next GUI l

    Honestly, I don't think VSCode hides much of what's going on from you. Generally I use it to edit code and then run "go run ." on the side.

    I generally make a "run.sh" script or Makefile to build and deploy. Then it's just a few tappity taps in the terminal to run it again. Still not as good as a "play" button, but easier to set up in many cases.

    Before you commit too much time to learning Elm, please understand that Elm has somewhat unique cultural values. The Elm leadership team has a very specific vision for how Elm should be used and actively discourage alternate visions (in par

    I used GNU Stow for a several years and always found it difficult to tell what symlinks were actually being created, even in verbose mode. When I also ran into the stow bug with --dotfiles , I gave up on stow and wrote fling ( https:&#x2F

    Doesn't Rust also have competing nonstandard ways to handle errors? Right now I think they recommend 3rd party libraries for it (anyhow, one other I don't remember), and those library recommendations have changed over time

    One thing that I find nicer with functional options is building tree-like data structures. My command line parsing library uses them to declaratively build CLI apps with arbitrarily nested subcommands. Some examples at https://gi

    Could you give an example of "attach metadata"? Are you talking about attaching metadata to the logger object or handlers? How is that done? If I recall correctly, the only thing you can send with an individual log event is a stri

    This sounds like a great use case for Tree-sitter ( https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/ ) GitHub uses Tree-sitter for code highlighting and goto definition, so it already has grammars for many languages

    For my tiny projects, I analyze my JSON logs with: - jq - Google Sheets (after conversion to CSV) - Beekeeper Studio (after conversion to SQLite) This won't scale to large projects, but it works well for the logs from my little CLI too

    Yes! Rendered markdown comments - especially with mermaid or equivalent diagram support and the ability to link to functions/classes/etc - directly in the IDE would be amazing!

    I think this is a great use case for some algorithm to help you combine tags ( by recognizing synonyms/plurals, text summarization, crowd-spurcing, something else?). Then it could keep you "on the rails" when tagging and peri

    This is a great description for the original, most pure definition of taco. However, people interpret foods differently over time and space (just look at what "pizza" has meant for different areas over time), and, in my opinion, t
