"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first 4 sharpening the axe"

I think people worry too much about branch names. Feature branches are usually ephemeral. Prefix your branch with your personal identifier so I know who is primary on it and worry more about the commit message which will live on indefinitely.

I've found referring to them as implicit vs explicit contracts conveys the idea and is more well received than proclaiming someone's ignorance.

DuckDB in Action 2 years ago

DuckDB targets analytical workloads. Your question sounds like your workload is transactional to me, so I'd recommend sticking with SQLite.

You are basically saying "Don't use any native apps, ever". With chrome profiles, links are just opened in whatever profile window was last active (this is on Mac OS, but I think others are the same). It's the one thing keeping me with chrome (brave).

My problem is opening links from apps. Sometimes I want a link in Slack (or other desktop apps) to open in my personal profile and sometimes I want it to use my work profile. With Brave/Chrome, the link will open in whatever profile window is active. I can't find a way to make this work with Firefox.

This is years ago now, but every ampersand in my passwords came across wrong. I can't recall if it was missing or url encoded, but even passwords weren't safe.

Heroku was the original gold standard for git based app deploys, but never for scheduling tasks. Here's a link to the documentation of Heroku's supposed "cron alternative" : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler

It only supports hourly, daily, or every 10 minutes and it isn't even guaranteed to run. I would see it skip jobs more often than I expected, maybe 1 in 20 at times.

Supporting actual cron is way better than anything Heroku offered.

Sounds like your docker was pulling latest instead of a versioned tag. I'd update that and be happy this only cost you a few hours.
