Interesting point about state charts for hardware systems. They're indeed excellent for modeling complex system behaviors. I've heard of Stately/XState being used for some embedded control interfaces - while it's typically associated with web apps, the same statechart patterns work surprisingly well for describing hardware state machines and their transitions.

Really interesting tool! Would love to see how it handles database integration patterns. We've been working with Astra DB in some projects, and having auto-generated documentation for different database access patterns would be super helpful for the team. Have you considered adding specific support for database architecture visualization?

Interesting project! Reminds me of Astra DB who just worked with Wikimedia to vectorize Wikipedia: https://blog.wikimedia.de/2024/09/17/wikidata-and-artificial...

Nice work on the open source approach! Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

> I’d love to see something even more integrated with AI workflows

Do you mean a database still? Or something like Langflow or Dify? Curious what "something even more integrated" would look like as just a DB.

What makes them better? Have we tried Astra DB or Milvus? Curious where that stands in relation to the others.

Thanks! I'm doing my best.

Hey, this is actually a really good idea!

The ones that I know don't, but I'm sure some do. Either way, these aren't the people I'm talking about.

If it's not too personal—why do you not want to like people?

what are you even saying

I don't think so: those are strong convictions that people have according to their value system and moral code and it's their right to have them. I'm not talking about that at all. To me, those are "closed handed" issues: we respect them without negotiation.

I'm talking about "open handed" issues where people tend to debate and negotiate: preferences, not convictions—if 3/4 friends want to go get a sandwich, but 1/4 insists on either salad or "go without me", this can be taxing on the relationship—especially if they also are usually open to sandwiches and have no strong conviction against it.

I fully agree with this.

I'm not sure I understand this: do you mean you don't put in effort, or you do but the effort doesn't _feel_ like work?

> I guess I’m saying you shouldn’t treat others as impersonal machines to be manipulated unless you are ok with that same behavior being turned back on yourself.

This! However if you'll allow me—I think it's worth saying we shouldn’t treat others as impersonal machines to be manipulated _at all_ because we're never really okay with that same behavior being given back to us because of millenia of social, communal evolution.

This. It's the deceit that's hurtful, not the transactional relationship itself.

Yeah, strong agree.

I know a few people like this and can confirm: they're extremely difficult to be around and take pride in it, feeling great about being "free thinkers" and breaking from the "herd mentality".

This I feel is unfortunately counter to the design of humankind, where we are—as you said—social animals and the only way to change for the better—at a species level—is to change together.

I did feel bad about it. I'm glad you said that, and I'm thankful for how it made me feel. It is exactly that feeling that continued to inspire growth and change. No doubt, I feel it again as people continue to pile on here. This is really good, because it will inspire even more growth, and more positive change.

Thank you for this callout. I will re-listen, reflect, and grow from this. I will be better.

I don't remember his account ever happening, but I do see a younger version of me doing nonsense like that. I've done similar nonsense if I'm being fully honest.

I also would call that overt sexual harassment and it is totally not OK. Unfortunately, the culture of the organization at the time made it seem OK to where I felt comfortable doing such nonsense. In fact, I have done similar nonsense to get approval from the coworkers there when I otherwise would not have.

I knew it wasn't acceptable in the grand scheme of things, but my team accepting and approving of it (with laughter) was why I did many stupid things earlier in my career.

For what it's worth, I don't remember doing this but it's also not impossible given I was fairly foolish earlier in my career.

While I wouldn't put it past myself to have done something like that as a young fool, please do keep in mind the author of the comment didn't even see this happen.

And yes, there are plenty medical and mental conditions there that I've spoken about at length, for example in https://www.youtube.com/live/B8e1r2L7iq8?si=pLccCEZ4nfABcs8z...

Exactly. My relationships got so much better after learning to be better at conversation.

I think you might be choosing the wrong people. :grimacing:

Exactly. Humans are so much more irrational and illogical than the machines we know. And this is a feature, not a bug.

I don't know, this sounds a bit like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Why not go find extroverts instead?

My theory is that that term has this reputation because it is somewhat dehumanized: you _talk_ to people, you _network_ with opportunities.

These people are the real MVPs.

I'm sorry to hear that's your experience and hope this article helps that get a little better!

Love this!
