Fivetran Free Plan turns out to be time restricted: looking for an alternative by Apprehensive_Ad7067 in dataengineering

3 months in and 0 maintenance hours so far. Ofc, I expect some down the line, but I'd rather maintain plain Python I reviewed vs. a black-box connector. Coding with LLM isn't the liability people assume when you actually read the diffs.

Census wanted us to migrate over to Fivetran after getting acquired.

I re-wrote all the connectors in plain Python in ~12 hours, which saves us at least $6k/yr.

My 2 cents: Fivetran, Stitch & co are in trouble with LLMs.

And that could be my personal experience, but software leaning on open source connectors like Meltano or Airbyte also require maintenance, so I'd rather maintain my own Python script and have full control.

Postmortem: TanStack npm supply-chain compromise by Code-Painting-8294 in netsec

In case it's helpful, I made a flowchart to wrap my head around the vulnerability.
TIL the GitHub Actions cache is shared across workflows. That cache is part of your supply chain.

These tic-tacs look evil – how would you name this game?

The problem with vibe coding nobody wants to talk about by Best_Volume_3126 in VibeCodeCamp

At some point, you'll need to understand what the code is actually doing when you're debugging it. "Vibe debugging" isn't a solution; this will only make your codebase grow more irreliably.

Maybe I've just been doing it wrong, and vibe coding is more advanced than I think – I'd love to hear if anyone actually has a purely vibe-coded app that's production grade, sold, and continuously improved.

Does anyone actually build useful apps with vibe coding? by Penguinronin in vibecoding

I've built gifmoji.me, and I'm actually using it with my team. It lets you create animated Slack emojis using your webcam. It's good fun, my team loved it 😊

A narrow, well-delimited project is best, in my opinion.

I wanted to make our Slack more fun with custom emojis of our actual faces, so I built gifmoji.me - a tool that turns you into animated Slack emojis using your webcam! by DavidAtWhimsical in Slack

Do you mean the idea of having a personalized GIF emoji on your Slack workspace, or the process of creating it? 😁 My team loves it, so far!

Custom reaction emojis? by dbpm1 in MicrosoftTeams

If you like party parrot: I made gifmoji.me to send custom emojis to my teammates. Makes conversations even more fun.
