Nice overview. I'd suggest to anyone interested in doing something like this to also consider the much simpler managed approach of using tools like: * Stitch [etl/elt] * Snowflake [data warehouse] * dbt [transformations] I'

This looks really great! A somewhat related video that your docs reminded me of, "Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle" [], which I think is a really interesting take on inventing and learning. Perhaps some useful thoughts for yo

_not a doctor_ This seems to cover it [0], an "early estimation" gives a high R0 number indicating a higher transmission rate (more worrying than mortality rate). Also worth noting, WHO initially suggesting a lower R0. [0] https:

Yes, just did an audit, it worked 90%, it seems some categories didn't get imported and just ended up in "Home", but it seems they all came across. It might be something to do with the categories from Feedly with multi-word t

Seemingly well funded UK cashflow management tool fluidly [1] also validates the concept I suppose, although I'd guess that they (Fludily) are solving for what the user _needs_ and not what they _want_ (cashflow predictions vs cashflo

Good question, this [] article proposes that this is indeed a bubble. I tend to agree and generally avoid ad-tech related work, even though it is closely tied to the engineering work I do. [] https://thecorrespondent.com/100
