You’re incredibly talented, Taylor. Their loss, sincerely. If they didn’t hire you, know that it wasn’t the right fit and you shouldn’t be there. Your talents are needed elsewhere.…

I don’t love spending time on LinkedIn but I do love that you know what you’re going to get when you go there. There’s not some fake underlaying goal like “keeping people connected…

It's not. Give it a read and then decide. Also, if it was, isn't that OK? You don't want discussion and debate on here? I do.

I switched from WordPress to Eleventy in 2020 and never looked back. https://www.joshcanhelp.com/taking-wordpress-to-eleventy/ I currently host on Netlify because it’s free but you…

Karlicoss's HPI idea was one of my earliest inspirations here. I loved their idea of being able to somewhat "call" this database of information. The infra diagram is truly impressi…

Lots of prior art here so I knew I was not reinventing the wheel. I guess I just had to see what the challenges were first hand! FYI, if you have control over the repo ... the URL …

I love this and agree 100%. I feel like we, as a species, had to go "full internet" to understand the trade-offs of connectivity. First it was all local, then all internet, now it'…

I would love to hear the story of where your domain came from! I love it. The idea behind Weave is something I would really like to adhere to. I take a lot of notes but get bored b…

I second both the sibling comments here but I'll add a few things: - Having a detailed meeting and project history from work helps me during interviews, writing resumes, reminding …

I've been talking about this with a friend/colleague of mine. Some of the greatest sources of data are "recorders" that are running in the background. Oura or any other activity tr…

Thank you very much for writing all of this out! My abstracted YAML representation worked pretty well for this initial PoC but I'm seeing places where this is just not going to fly…

> how does this information really create significant value for myself? This was a really important question I asked myself. If I build it, will I use it? I had two answers. First,…

Oh, this is really fantastic, I'm going to check it out! Does you end up with an archive of the data that's being queried? In case we might be a good fit ... https://www.joshcanhel…

I've always thought that the messaging/texting interface is really nice and intuitive. It's like your terminal history but more ... personable? I got it running locally and, while …

I'm wary about adding chores to my life, that was something I mentioned in the article. I've been running the API crawler for a while now and, so far so good. The quantified self m…

I've had a few uses for PDPL so far and I'm trying to add functionality when I need it rather than taking a shortcut and just writing the script I need in $LANGUAGE. But, like you …

This is beautiful and something I wanted to accomplish, in my own way, as a part of this project. I love this: > It collects all your crap, and it puts it on a timeline. > I though…

Thank you for this! Looks like a kindred project. I have hard of Datasette before but not Dogsheep, I'll give it a look.

Hi there! I've been working with data in one form or another, professionally, for about 5 years. I've been thinking about my own personal data and how it's used for at least twice …

I totally agree. This would not work well with a large body of documentation and has some big limitations in terms of formatting. I never got to my second spike but I was looking a…

This looks great so far and glad to see others tackling this tough problem! I've spent a lot of my time writing documentation and example code and, while I love the process, it's v…
