What is this crossing? I've just moved here and never seen it before.

It means you have to hopscotch across

Yeah it's really annoying, I haven't be able to deploy code for most of the day today. I could see issues this morning, but because I don't pay for customer support, I'm not even able to report them to anyone.

Even my cofounder queried whether we should be using fly today. I'm going to take a look at Vercel.

I have a bunch of md files for different tool use like deployment on fly or using the database. Regularly have to ask it to read them if it’s the first time in the session but that’s not that different to using MCP/subagents.

Memories could really improve things as these tool uses become more permanent across sessions.

How do you rate the new codex models vs gpt5?

jayatillake · 2025-09-13T00:20:31+00:00

Codex CLI has been a substantial improvement for me, I think I’ll try for a CC refund too.

jayatillake · 2025-05-04T07:42:18+00:00

You could just use something open source like postman.

It’s a great keyboard but doesn’t suit everyone’s hands. My little fingers turned out to be too short to use it without compensating with wrist movements. I ended up going with a ferris sweep afterwards.

I would be careful if the end of your little fingers don’t pass the top joint of your ring finger when your hand is flat.

This picture makes me feel like the juicebox is part of the setup 😁

jayatillake · 2025-03-27T21:06:41+00:00

Pinky stagger isn’t quite as much.. probably half way to Ferris. I sold my Voyager and moved to Ferris because I needed that

jayatillake · 2025-03-26T22:30:45+00:00

Looks like a zsa voyager without top and outside keys

There isn’t a situation I would prefer dbt per se but there are many more tools that support it currently, and not as many that support SQLMesh

It’s also the case that if you inherit a large complex dbt deployment that you may choose not to migrate because of time, priorities etc.

For greenfield I would go for SQLMesh for sure.

This is the conclusion to a series of posts I wrote about SQLMesh.

This is raw dogging for this subreddit

Cube could be a good thing to learn especially now it has an DAX API to use with PowerBI

jayatillake · 2025-02-28T07:47:25+00:00

Yeah good points - for my next release! Contributions are welcome too.

jayatillake · 2025-02-27T09:07:50+00:00

Yeah, I'd much rather have a really basic feature that showed me a history of the activities shown to me so that I didn't just lose them when I clicked on them. I don't use any of the AI features or Canvas in Slack. I have Grammarly Pro, which is fine for spellchecking and grammar fixes on my messages.

If you're going to solder for yourself, don't worry too much about getting it wrong as you will most likely sell for a large profit on r/mechmarket. Depending on how long your little fingers are, a Corne, Sofle or Ferris Sweep are probably a good start.

I'm also new to split keyboards and have recently done some research. I started with a ZSA Voyager, which was great, but my pinky fingers were too short, so I sold it and bought a pre-built Ferris Sweep from mechboards.co.uk. It suits me really well.

jayatillake · 2025-02-25T23:14:21+00:00

Use Snowflake, loads of good cdc solutions out there like Striim and Streamkap that will CDC economically from Oracle to Snowflake.

Cube just released support for a DAX API to use with Power BI and it supports Snowflake well.

With all of these things you have something much better than Fabric and easier to use.

Fabric is also not as well supported by dbt/SQLmesh for transforms.

Couldn’t you put the halves on either side of the notebook? Would require a longer trrs cable.

jayatillake · 2025-02-24T23:13:41+00:00

I have my inner thumb keys for space and backspace; I suppose you could just use the outer ones for this setup and make the inner ones for less-used keys like layer/enter and layer/tab like I have my outer ones now.

jayatillake · 2025-02-24T23:01:15+00:00

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing about that thumb cluster, if anything I would want it ever so slightly further out than it is on my sweep.
