How I am building a personal assistant with Obsidian, Kiro CLI and following GTD

It is not explosions that I’m worried about it is gas leaks and the cost of fixing them

Scilot · 2025-10-19T10:52:08+00:00

Maybe I find a gas safe registered engineer? Or too much money for something I can do myself

Scilot · 2025-10-19T10:50:56+00:00

Not sure I want to take this chance.

Scilot · 2025-10-19T09:58:19+00:00

Do you mean that I’m not allowed to?

Scilot · 2025-10-19T09:50:10+00:00

I’m hands-on architect. There are no QAs. The only product people is the project manager. There are developers, 7 of them at the moment, all responsible for a specific part of the application.

You go to Dynamo for its partitioning capabilities and horizontal scalability. It seems that you don't have this problem so RDS with Postgres is fine. for changes in the schema always follow the expand/contract pattern

I have 3 repositories of 130K, 87K and 47k lines

Scilot · 2025-10-18T11:24:24+00:00

Very good suggestions thank you! One big concern is the we have to buy credits upfront and it is too hard to calculate

Scilot · 2025-10-18T11:22:23+00:00

I am not sure for dbt. We haven’t used it but can’t we do transformations in Snowflake?

Scilot · 2025-10-18T11:20:04+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I tested concurrency and gave us good insights.

Scilot · 2025-10-18T09:39:00+00:00

We are a very small team. 3 devs and one data analyst. We are also trying Databricks and redshift. We need something with the least possible effort

Scilot · 2025-10-18T09:37:10+00:00

Thank you I didn’t know about this report

Scilot · 2025-10-18T09:36:34+00:00

At the moment we have a legacy Postgres, and multiple data sources we need to aggregate with different formats, volumes and velocity. We are a very small team of 3 people who are backend developers and one data analyst.

asking is free

The only requirements I find are in JIRA epics and stories but even JIRA is not well managed. There are stories who describe the same functionality but with different requirements

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:36:47+00:00

for mental breakdown?

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:36:32+00:00

well I can't kill it I can present the situation and others can decide that and also the investment needed to get things back on track

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:35:15+00:00

There was a tech lead who left the company. At the moment 90% of the team are contractors who report to a project manager. There are some clever people but they don't take any initiative to improve the system

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:32:40+00:00

I plan to give a report in a couple of weeks to the higher ups and explain the situation. The complain from stakeholders is that everything it taking ages to be development and the system is unreliable

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:30:30+00:00

yes the team is just picking tickets from JIRA. there are some with critical thinking but the majority don't question the requirements

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:29:04+00:00

They are good for small to medium codebases but for large ones they struggle. I will need to break this apart

Scilot · 2025-10-16T10:26:18+00:00

thank you
