Oh to be clear > dct validate <file.yml> Or any of the other commands that read the file will quickly fail with any syntax or SQL issues. It’s not just an open schema.

Exactly and that's why dbt Charts is a spec in YAML vs a python library. It ensures that the logic stays in SQL where its easy to test and trace.

Fair hit on "language". I keep forgetting YAML stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language". What we built is a declarative spec written in YAML, and that's deliberate. Think of it as HTML for boards rather than a p

I've worked in data for 15 years and I've never heard this argument. I love it :)! Who knows, with AI this may be the future. Visualizations were created to help us understand data. Florence Nightingale published them "to

So this is a fairly domain specific (dashboards) spec and we intentionally avoid getting too generic. The raw HTML/SVG or base libraries approach may well win out, but it does make it quite hard or impossible for humans to follow along

What's your setup for using voice with the agents and for handling your inbox zero? OpenClaw?

Yeah, my use case would have required a heavy node or playwright import to convert the SVGs to other formats or show them correctly outside of browsers. This keeps it all SVG and it looks and feels good and lighter.

I love SVG! Recently I needed to render markdown in SVG and found no library existed for that yet so I released one: github: https://github.com/davefowler/markdown-svg playground: https://markdown-svg-produ

I love that the recipe example is still being used as one of the main promising use cases for computers and now AGI. One day hopefully computers will solve that pressing problem...

Yeah, isn't the main user of those tools non-developers? It's not that developers are getting lazy, it's that people who aren't developers also have technical needs (and some chops).

I've used a similar smart outlet on a timer to just shut my wifi off at 9pm. I then put an alarm on my computer to give me a 15 minute wrap-up warning.
