Well, it's now backed by S3 and I've made the code public for anyone interested: github.com/vinimdocarmo... 🦆

It is indeed! I’d only warn on the speed of the free machine types. Pretty slow depending on your use case. But I guess most workshops have small scopes anyways.

Even better, if you setup your project using devcontainers people will be able to easily setup it up locally using any supported editor ✨

What if you have an array and you want to transform it into a max-heap? Here you go:

Can do some basic @duckdb.org operations now 🤩 🦆

Here's the AI generated implementation by the way: gist.github.com/vinimdocarmo...

That's usually how I like to use AI for coding: to do things I don't want to do myself. Letting it do (i.e. to try to) everything is really unrewarding for me 🫠 I keep the resiliency high and still try and experiment with LLMs quite often though

Had some progress today! I could write to a “virtual” file backed by Postgres. Since I’m using FUSE to simulate my file system ops, the file content is being persisted into Postgres instead of my OS file system 🎉

I mind less when it gives the precise, correct answer. But it's even more frustrating when it just spits nonsense.

I didn't want to setup my Mac machine to make FUSE work, so I've decided to setup a dev container for VS Code and that's been giving me some headaches. Almost finished though. I only need to finish setting up Postgres 🤞

I see. The reason I asked it was because we tried dedup in a block-level at WeTransfer, but it didn’t really yield good results since the data set is usually unrelated.

Great article! I see how dedup can help in a repo-level. But does it yield similar benefits between different, unrelated repos?

Even though the position and company was a great fit, I put my and my partner’s needs and long-term goals in first place. I’m relieved but at the same time I feel a bit of grief.

I passed the interviews, but unfortunately they couldn’t hire me in Amsterdam anymore due to policy changes. They still tried and I was aware London would be the second option. The offer turned out to be London-based and after much deliberation with my partner we decided to stay in Amsterdam.

No worries! Hope you're having fun 🛝

Care to share a bit more of what you're working on? 👐

I'm at this point learning more about that and thinking about implementing a naive custom allocator in C++

I’ve passed to final stage: a 30min call with an Executive. That’s one stage further compared to last time, so that’s a win already 🥳 Godspeed 🤞
