“So for now we probably should use it only for tasks where facts are not important, such as writing letters of recommendation and formulating government policy.”

:-)

That said, I do like PARA so built this centered around it, with a few GTD and ZK additions:

This!! And your related explanation is so good!

Simple and superb root cause analysis!

Firebase Support Initial response:

From what I see at the moment I’m not entirely sure to say that only default databases can be used in such a situation. Given that you specify the full path in firestore.exists(/databases/(default)/documents/users/$(uid));, I'd expect that you can replace (default) with the database ID that you want to access. If you can't get that to work, we need to check it with a minimal repro.

Firebase Support final response:

In the end it turned out that at the moment Firestore non-default database is indeed not supported. I hope this will change soon, because we have more people with a similar problem like yours.

Thanks for letting me know that’s not correct!

I don’t upgrade to the latest version when it comes out thinking it may not be stable enough yet. And then I remember about it when I’m about to start working or in the flow. I know, silly excuses!

I just cannot get it to work, and cannot find anything in the docs.

I do see examples of using firestore.get() from the storage rules, but only for the default database, like here:

I would’ve thought they would let devs handle it because if anything they’re more capable of these kinds of things (not counting myself ofc :-))

I really need to let go of these self-sabotage tendencies fast!!

But I definitely panicked too and still a worried if I carried something over to my home network.

I’m a developer and at least superficially aware of the issues. Can’t imagine what non techies go through when faced with such situations!!

Google did send me two Security alerts (one for each laptop) when I tried signing in yesterday with my old pwd. So they must have reset my password or something?

In any case, lesson learned: never connect to an unsecured Wi-Fi again! (I rarely do, but I was at this conference last week trying to demo Appomate AI, and was wanting it to be as snappy as possible. Bad decision!)
