A mobile game!

Made with Godot and Swift, a casual manic arcade thing where you pop animals in increasingly exotic/banal locations.

Today I'm hacking on automate-terminal, a command line program and Python library that abstracts the various terminal emulator automations (iTerm2, WezTerm, Kitty, tmux) into a single API. Mostly made for use by other tools. https://github.com/irskep/automate-terminal

Still hacking on some data tools:

DuckDB for stream processing:

https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow

Lightweight kafka stream processing using DuckDB as the execution engine. 300MiB runtime can easily handle thousands of messages / second.

Working on a Kafka Connect alternative:

https://github.com/turbolytics/librarian

Right now mongo replication (through changestreams) is supported to kafka. Working on Postgres support right now.

Correct and performant way to calculate historical value of a portfolio. I want a pure function, but taking a date as input is insufficient because users can edit holdings, and securities can split.

Weighing the tradeoffs of doing this calculation server or client side. That'll be an architecture shift away from my current set of background jobs fetching state and towards something more functional and on-demand.
