Related but off-topic: Nothing I see today compares to the productivity that I saw with Lotus Notes, Dbase 3 and 4, Paradox, Microsoft Access, Foxpro, and a few other things from that era. There are some really good SAAS offerings that ta

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of very deep discussions with GPT-4 about design issues I’ve had, and brainstormed ideas on how to improve them. In these discussions, GPT-4 has been able to really dig into the details and grok the problem spa

A good trick is to ask it to translate the request into commands of your choosing. Like ask it to generate python code to make the calculation for example. Another thing that works well is to turn it into a command extraction problem, give

Using Parquet files is more scalable because the amount of data can be vast. It can be impractical to use a normal RDBMS to hold billions of rows, but is no problem for a bunch of files sitting in S3 or file storage. It can also be radical
