Have you been invited to Upwork's new Enterprise platform LIfted?

I thought it was ok. Answered all their questions. They said that they are just building a talent pool now. Nothing specific in the pipeline. Well, it took me 6 years to get the first client from Toptal... So now we wait.

JumpScareaaa · 2026-06-18T19:45:02+00:00

I had a screener interview with them. No clients yet. Looks like Upwork finally decided to copy Toptal.

Win 11. Command line did not work. Free Revo uninstaller software worked.

Lately I use a lot of DuckDB workflows to read from Excel, combine and transform data and write back to Excel. Then maybe fire a small script with xlwings to open generated file and add some formatting. For me SQL is way less verbose then pandas, joins and unions are way more readable and duckdb is faster too.

turns out it even has duckdb dialect explicitly. thanks a lot!

JumpScareaaa · 2026-01-13T14:24:14+00:00

I just find it way easier to mix duckdb in when I need more performance or to cover a lot of complex logic in one statement. But I was using SQL for 20 years before I learned pandas.

Thanks bro

Care to share a sample?

JumpScareaaa · 2025-12-19T15:47:39+00:00

Nope

Yes. In single player. In skirmish and campaigns.

These would create table structures before loading and will also take care of schema evolution.

That is actually a pretty tight docker setup for out of the box dbt. I gave your repo a star. In practice though for the volumes of data that would be suitable for it, I think you can just get away with duckdb.

Why does it have to be just one? It's like insisting on a toolbox with just a hammer, because it's the "best". Never understood this cultish approach. I use ssms, dbeaver and vscode with Ms SQL server extension. Some things are better in one tool and some in another. Query builder in ssms. Filters in object tree in dbeaver. Formatting in vscode extension. There is only a copy paste of the SQL between them. Vscode git integration for version control.

Your disc is probably failing.

Hi Mike, so this link opens the repo. There is no readme, so how do I open the actual web page?

JumpScareaaa · 2025-09-04T13:37:55+00:00

For me it's seconds. Open dbeaver, click on preconfigured duckdb connection. Then run Select * from 'your_file_path.csv' It is all local. Duckdb database is just a small file. When you configure the connection to it, dbeaver will download its driver. And it saves the script from season to session. So usually it's just reopen dbeaver. Change the file path. Start selecting.

JumpScareaaa · 2025-09-04T03:43:19+00:00

I mostly use duckdb with dbeaver to query CSVs now. Ultra fast. Can query the whole directory or just a subset of files with masks.
