Gave the S3 functionality a try - it returned objects in reverse alphabetical order. :( Amazon S3 lists objects in alphabetical order.

Metabase 47 also has new serialization features in paid editions that allow for git-based workflows. https://www.metabase.com/learn/administration/git-based-work...

A while ago I wrote an Athena connector for querying SQLite in S3. ;) https://github.com/dacort/athena-sqlite Uses a similar approach.

SQLite is amazingly prevalent as well. Your own phone probably has hundreds of SQLite databases on it. One challenge with SQLite, though, is you have to download the whole thing to…

As part of a fun side project to make a SQLite driver for Athena, I made a read-only storage driver for S3. https://github.com/dacort/athena-sqlite/blob/master/lambda-f... Implemen…

Yea, my guess would be that's it. Coupled with the fact it hasn't been updated in ~3 years. I've giving this one a shot, might have too much functionality for me though...I liked h…

Would very much appreciate that as well as walk-through docs. Got it up and running easily enough, and connected to Redshift. But seemed like creating a new "slice" required custom…

Great insight into the changing landscape of a CTO as a company grows through rounds of funding in the first several years. My experience (Series C, ~130 employees) echoes many of …

Interesting seeing the activity on Twitter and how quickly Periscope caught up once it was released: https://twitter.com/dacort/status/582570506043310080

Different use case (SMS stats), but you can see an example of querying the local iMessage DB here: https://github.com/mroth/grayratio

I think one of my favorite things about this is that it actually makes product information available in the meta tags.

I was a little confused that an "author" rel would be retrieved from a "people" resource. Is there a way to define that author's are people other than the client knowing this?

s/privacy/qa or your discipline of choice that is seen as "slowing down" development. While most devs should be thinking about this, you're correct in that their culture generally …

Something every dev should be thinking about, but rarely is.
