Postgres is so fucking fun to work with. Adding PostgREST on top of that makes it easy to mock up an API quickly.

Keep Claude (using Cody) close to check for errors and ensure the decisions are okay and this is fun again.

I can contribute to more than one fun project on a given day.

To be fair, I also included information she asked me for, like insurance cards and the card we are using to buy groceries this month (part of our personal finance setup).

This is getting useful, so I'm creating a small Expo interface on top of it because my kids, as they get older, start asking the same questions.

The best part? The name of the project is "Dad forgets." 😅

So, I thought that managing the household would be easier when my kids got older.

Managing a household of three adults (one soon to become an adult) and two teenagers is hard.

Of course, to make it easier for my wife, I put all the info I usually ask her into a database I query using a Telegram bot. Complicated questions like the kids' age and birthdays, or tough questions like their blood types or teacher's names.

Oh shit, iwantmyname, my domain registrar of choice for ~10 years was bought by a multinational holding company. Time to move. Most likely to DNS Simple.

I used to shit on GraphQL but find PostgREST amazing. I hope you see the irony.

damn, yall were right. apple music has better audio quality.

i wrote a quick reference post on converting small Python scripts into CLI tools. i already have a CLI tool starter repository, but not all scripts are planned to be a CLI tool from the beginning.

so hard to sit down and watch a movie on your spare time, you spent most of the time looking for something to watch.

what i've been doing lately is re-watching movies i like.

yooo, we have a One Piece chapter this week!

Now that all the quality content is paywalled, I'd like to open source my private repositories as much as possible. They might not be great or worth paying for, but someone might find them useful.
Just like in old times, learn something and share it with the world.

what’s this weird sensation? is this what they call being cold? IN TEXAS?

moving from a budget-ish naming convention to regular double-entry, e.g., from "budget" to "ledger."

everyone should watch https://buff.ly/3AQAFnH -- it's the best content i've seen in a while.

hopefully, i'll able to do a new Budgtwise release this week. i need these changes for my budget 😅 -- and no i don't use the staging budget for my personal use, i use production.

specifically where i show the transactions per month period instead of a paginated view of everything.

just read absolute batman, a very refreshing take on everyone's favorite hero. the art is cool af too.

i really really want to use PostgREST on a real-world app, but the authentication it's not there yet for me. even tho i could have a services app (auth, pass reset, billing) and keep the data in a PostgREST instance. but it feels awkward not having a foreign key tied to the user.

damn, my starter frontend it's almost only tanstack at this point. router, query, forms, table.

okay we are back. hard drive got full so i had to clean the cache.

i'll plan to move static files to an S3-like provider.

I’m gonna start writing milestone’s descriptions focused on customers not features.
