spillcoffee··on Emacs appearances in pop culture
Do you lose all street cred if you use Emacs keyboard shortcuts whenever you can, but will use vim/nvim if there is no other choice?
spillcoffee··on Show HN: Construct SQL from table records by breaking down decision tree
Nice tool. Worth flagging for folks in the design phase of their data model. Knowing what you want to report on, and what data your application actually needs, is usually how I approach schema design. Being able to draft your reports and derive your data layer from them is a good way to wrap your mind around what you need, not what you think you need.

Agreed. The complexity brought by AI-assisted development is making this worse. This brings a shift in responsibility to the individual, as it did in previous technology shifts; a farmer driving a combine has a different set of problems than one standing behind a donkey with a plow. A developer who has placed themselves firmly in their comfort zone needs to increase their knowledge of the ecosystem around them and perhaps look further than the next component connected to their own.
