   Continuing from my blog post ( https://playtechnique.io/projects/grafanasink/tracking-sqlit... ) in which I learned about database triggers, next it's time to understand grafana's database workings a littl

   Following up again, today I tried adding a primary key to a table in sqlite and didn't figure it out. I revisited the sqlite docs and found https://sqlite.org/faq.html#q11 , showing that the alter statement is restricte

   I want to start by saying the author's right about wanting clarity in documentation and actually having documentation that's easy to navigate. golang, for example, has pretty good documentation, but whenever I visit the official d

    I appreciate you reading through it! I hope the working code sample around compdef was useful, in spite of the distractions : )

    I miss the reward after the suffering of working through these problems with dense documentation, even as I enjoy the benefit of chatGPT getting me rapidly closer to my destination. The days of RTFM were good days; the days of solving probl

    I’m actually just cynical enough this morning to think this was written by a chat AI that was prompted with “write a few paragraphs of ragebait about software erosion”. The article asserts software erosion is happening for a series of vague

    I want to set log levels using an environment variable. It's easy, but I find the go slog docs a little hard to follow, so I put together a simple example for my future reference

    Being honest, I dislike the tone of this sort of clickbaity rephrasing of the article title. The actual title is "You must use your Global Git Ignore!" which is completely true; the nuanced observation from the article "Using
