In the past I've built scraper infrastructure (headless pools, credential stores, proxy managers, agent profiles) and managed to get a pretty efficient service by tracking cpu,memory,network usage per each job and writing specialized versions. I got pretty far trying to automatically generate specialized scrapers from previous requests but I moved to other projects.
Scraping becomes boring really fast if you don't use the data in meaningful ways.
I can create great designs, I can write great code and I can solve difficult problems in any domain, the issue is that some of those things would take more time that someone who specifically trained be able to do that thing in a reasonable amount of time.
The first time I got scared cause I didn't want the mouse to get in the house and I didn't know who was knocking on the door but I think it was half-dead...oh yeah I forgot to mention that all the mice were still alive.
I'll never understand that behavior..she was well fed.
I think it's because I've also had a rough start and no help from the toxic senior on the team (until that guy left) and now me a junior with ~6 months experience was leading the project but I was overworked and underpaid for some time.
The most important thing that I want from anyone is transparency, I would totally make that one of the pillars of any big organization.
If only we could get some sql-like powers in that simple input box. Maybe I'm not their target audience...who knows.
I'm sure some people wouldn't like what I'm about to propose as it again "phones home" but I encourage the team to take a look at GPT models for converting text to commands, I have a simple fine-tuned model that does wonders when I'm in the terminal.
As for me at home, all I need are those sweet blocks with text-editing mode in any open source terminal.
Problems 1. Not working by default 2. Documentation is ...not ready 3. There are some versioning issues
[1] A week ago I tried to install the nix (the package manager) on my arch box using the recommended multi-user script and it screw up with permissions and ended up not working.
It would be nice to see more functional features, similar to async/await, template literals and lambdas. Some things that I think would be interesting are optional type hinting (native), exhaustive pattern matching.
Edit: nope, just worked for 2-3 requests (10 secs)
The sentiment mostly comes from having the JS ecosystem mostly being untyped and having to interact with it.
That being said I tried io-ts but found it undocumented, missing examples and hard to write. For future libraries/projects I'm looking to try again ReasonML, tried in the past but had to write too many bindings.
Just dropped my job in order to catch up with everything I wanted to learn and what better way than to build a business.
Currently I'm a bit (1 month) behind the schedule cause I complicated everything in order to learn k8s, rust, web assembly, svelte/sapper...so much fun, on the other side I burned through my finances a little too fast so I might need a job soon.
Ory will probably offer a cloud service in the near future but I'm just scratching an itch for now.
Anyways, seems interesting.
I would have really liked to use auth0 or other authn services but not a fan of lock-in platforms, I want to export my db without enterprise plans.
The pricing model I'm thinking of is a pay per usage + a commission of the total usage per month.
Thank you @sjroot
I would argue with you that this is not such a priority for a software development organization, there are more important things to do.
You got so excited...so fast, I think this community may be doing more bad for me than good lately.
On another topic, why would I use Kong instead of it's competitors built on envoy and with higher integration with kubernetes? Maturity?
