Even 15 years ago this was such a big problem that someone tried to start a rebellion: https://contrastrebellion.com/

They forgot to AI-label that Bender-sounding voiceover in the article…

FYI: DocuSign’s moat/USP is trust, not software.

DocuSign customers buy trust.

I wonder how this compares to csvkit [1].

I’ve been using Mermerd [1] for years and never looked back. Simple, does one thing well.

It gets even better with elk layout - just prepend this frontmatter snippet to mermerd’s output:

    ---
    config:
      layout: elk
    ---

This sounds very similar to AWS CDK. How does it compare?

Excellent - thanks!

Excellent work!

Postgraphile uses a naming convention for postgres functions to extend the GraphQL schema [1].

Do you have any plans to support a similar mechanism in pg_graphql?

Congratulations on the launch - this sounds interesting.

I'm currently using Postgraphile[0], which uses Postgres' introspection API to discover the schema structure.

Would this still work with Hydra?

I created a tool (bumbailiff) that allows a team to accrue a limited amount of debt, for a limited period of time. Then it fails the build.

Browser-monkey is awesome, and for a real project I'd consider using it. I'd also use a virtual dom UI library like Vue, React, Hyperdom or similar.

For a teaching example I think it's essential to reduce the number of external libraries, or else it's too much to take in.
