In a type-safe environment I think you should just be able to switch your pur sang SQL builder to another dialect. Because of the type-safety you’ll be able to find incompatibiliti…

Right, instead of abstracting away the database I think it makes sense to invest in making it attractive to use. Putting an abstraction layer (like ORM) on top of it basically hide…

SEEKING FREELANCER Location: Amsterdam area, NL Remote: no (1 day/week is fine, but mainly at location) Tech: primarily Java using different AWS components Email: martijn@ff00ff.nl…

I agree. Additionally, it looks like the comments feature is compatible with the JSDoc syntax. I'm not too sure about the return syntax though. This means I can start type checking…

Nowadays the stuff on GitHub is simply a mirror. Originally, they used GitHub primarily. Why they used GitHub was explained by Sytse (or Sid) in 2013: "We're just going to stay whe…

The focus now is on increasing the retention of a small user base. I first want to make sure things work super easy and the added value is clear. For example, in our Atom plugin, y…

Yes, this is true. I only discovered wakatime a few days ago. The major difference at the moment is wakatime's free plan only includes 1 week of data retention, whereas Koala's pla…

No problem, thanks for checking Koala out. :) I'll send you a ping once the self-hosted version is available. In the mean time feel free to send any feedback to martijn@getkoala.co…

Thanks for reporting the quirks. Too bad I missed them. Regarding the pledge: it's actually something I've been seeing at more startups. I can't recall which one but I should put u…

Dev here. You can actually configure a .koala file in the root of your project to define what to send to Koala. Nevertheless, I see your point. I'm thinking of going open source an…

Can you give an example of the TTS software you consider advanced? The software I tried works, but too often sounds robotic and far from natural. Especially for the Dutch language.…
