What backend are you using for Metabase? Any chance you are using the same backend for Retool? I'm thinking about doing this with Snowflake as a backend.

This is very cool. I'd be interested in a docker-compose script that wrapped this all into a single deployment, as it seems you have created a very nice self-hosted with analytics solution. I do wonder if Metabase is too resource inten

The skill of these "descent specialists" always reminds me of racing skateboards down hills, which is a combination of the "descent aerodynamics" of cycling and the "edge of grip" of racing cars. I participated

This is not a bad idea, and the way to spend that time may be youth corps. There are calls for youth corp in the US[1] and the UK[2], and it does seem like a valid way to contribute, learn and stay productive while universities arrange the

Fair point, thank you for adding this. I grabbed the notion from memory, and I don't even know if the source mentions age cohorts. I think it is fair in the context of the OP as a mid 20's developer, but agree wholeheartedly that

I like the framing of a career into thirds of 15 years. 20-35: Find and build your skills/industries/networks and start to align that into a career. Don't be afraid to make mistakes to enhance learning. 35-50: Double down on

I've been having a bit of joy using Dataform [] recently to "modularise" SQL code into more manageable views. It brings some of the best practices of software development to the SQL hellscape, making management of complicated

Looks like some nice, I'm a frequent Tableplus user, so nice to have a sleek multiplatform alternative. Quick Suggestions: * Snowflake, Bigquery, Azure support * A SQL linter (not easy!) Thanks for sharing!

Linking the main discussion [1]. This list is surprisingly small and perhaps the issue of tax havens needs better visibility. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22923670

In the visualisation it would be very useful if the "best/worst" cases included the inputs that were relevant to make that happen. It is somewhat obvious, but would drive the point home that should X & Y occur, you'd

This is great. I think you're well positioned to help people understand this very important concept in a familiar way. Have you thought to incorporate the "Minimise Maximum Regret" concept? I suppose it is quite an opinionat

This article poses some interesting thoughts. It is quite long, but I think worth a read if you are interested in this [0]. I think a way to frame the question is: "Will the coming decline in ad-spend result in proportional decrease in

I've been pitching Metabase to small businesses for a while and think it is a great entry to business intelligence tools, and has been growing nicely as an open source project []. Firefox exposes a sqlite db and so this project is a ni
