bagolon Babel is used by millions, so why are we running out of money?

> For now, Nicolò, Henry, and Jùnliàng will all be paid a temporary rate of $6,000 per month.

bagolon Generate Go model from database design

bagolon Show HN: pgcmd – An alternative to psql with JSON output

Use --tuples-only / -t and --no-align / -A. Or -tA for short.

For example:

  $ psql dbname -tAc 'SELECT json_agg(some_table) FROM some_table'

That will produce a valid JSON if you ever need to pipe it to another command. And I'm sure, psql will do the job a lot faster than node.

By the way, you should not underestimate the built-in psql power and postgresql's json capability. Postgresql's JSON power rivals that of other JSON based No-SQL databases.

bagolon Vim Anti-Patterns

My favorite is mapping '()' to 'vi)', '[]' to 'vi]', '{}' to 'vi}'. So I can read is as "grab parentheses" instead of "visual inside parentheses"
