Looks like a great tool! Thanks for sharing!
Powershell, SQL Server and everything Microsoft is like another world to me. Great to get to see how people are working over there :)

I won't install another shell in a Docker image to write a custom entry point. I also won't add another shell to automate the project setup for a codebase I am working on with other people.
The commands I use daily in my terminal are so limited that for me it's not worth complicating my setup

I keep coming back to Bash because it's just available on all unix systems and works for everyone without installing new things. Definitely not because it's the best tool or most intuitive language.

For me the power of shell scripts is that they just work on any unix system. If I have to install another tool, there are plenty of options to choose from. Never really worked on Windows. But heard good things about Powershell!

AI is more useful for SQL and Bash than for any other language. These two are not very intuitive to write and don't have great editor tooling, but LLMs are great with them. Definitely use AI to help you out! But you still need to know what they can do for you and when is the right time to use them.

Yeah, the best way I can describe its usefulness is a great glue language 😀

I did have some cron jobs running database cleanup scripts and shell scripts that run migrations before.

Agree. Best practices are just as helpful for shell scripts.

But at the same time I don't enjoy writing more complex programs using Bash. Maintaining a 1000 lines Bash script or multi-file projects is not fun.

Sounds like a pretty good time investment!

And I bet they will still be relevant in another 30 years from now 😀

Yeah, I feel like learning only really sticks when you actually use it. I wrote most of my shell scripts when automating things - laptop configuration, project setup, maintaining servers, Github actions, ...

Yes, can't imagine working without version control.
The reason I would always prefer text-based tools, just so I can put it in Git. Don't want to write a blog without having the content in version control. Imagining working without it feels scary.

Haha same! It's tempting to pull all the numbers and automate all the things. But it's easy to forget what matters.
Its essential to take time to reflect and set priorities. But developing intuition is more important than numbers.
For me data is more an automation tool than a decision making tool.

You can try it out live on the demo dashboard:

Turns out you don't need a database user for each application user.
Always ignored RLS because I had that assumption.
You can actually use any SQL logic as policy check.

Supabase has great docs to get started - no matter if you use Supabase or not:

Yeah, you don't consolidate power just for fun 😅 in the end us users will pay for it

For me light mode + automatic sepia mode is easier than switching between light and dark
