all BI charts end up looking the same, but why?

it's because we're normally doing the same thing - discrete dimension on X axis, continuous measure on Y

sometimes you get really deep into something very niche

i'm always using CSVs + json to store little bits of data, but never considered why these formats (a large part is portability!)

Alex and I put together this guide about when to use flat files, and when not to

We've overhauled our VS Code autocomplete system to include:
- Autocomplete for component props
- Inline prop documentation
- Option selection for props that have finite options
- Query name suggestions within any data prop
- Better table suggestions in SQL, including CTEs and chained queries

I often saw the question of whether @duckdb.org runs in production and what the use case would be. With the help of many of you, I explored this over the last few weeks and prepared an extensive guide highlighting real-world DuckDB use cases, categorized into the five categories identified in Part 1

@evidence.dev + cursor is like glimpsing the future

you wont drag-and-drop reports, you'll write them as code
you wont be in a SaaS platform, you'll work on your machine
you wont wait for results, you'll get instant reactivity
