I first used DynamoDB 8 years ago and have been designing single-table schemas heavily since. For me, the best way to create drafts was always pen and paper (and then excel/confluence tables), but in reality it's a process (based on The DynamoDB Book) that can be automated to an extent.

Decided to build an app while on paternity leave. You define entities and access patterns, create (or get suggested) key and GSI design, and generate code for access patterns (TypeScript and Python), infrastructure (CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform), and documentation you can share with stakeholders.

There's more I want to build beyond the MVP - things around understanding and validating designs that you can't get from a chatbot - but for now focusing on the core.

If anyone wants to try it out, sign up for the waitlist on the landing page. MVP should be ready in the next few weeks.

2. Most of the sources you've mentioned are push-based - i.e. someone else is pushing this new info onto you (newsletters, youtube, podcasts, news). This increases FOMO. Instead, try to implement a pull-based approach and only seek and read info that is relevant to what you want to learn, read. It's a lot harder than it seems, but my guess it's harder due to default.

Last year, I re-tried[1] the experiment of not using the internet for entertainment for a few months, only for work and life admin. To catch up with news, I subscribed to a paper-based weekly newspaper. If there is something important in the world, you will find out about it, someone will tell you. But this will help a ton with anxiety and mental health.

The other thing I realised - when I listen to podcast and go into info overload, I get burned out a lot quicker. Listening to podcasts while working is the worst. I removed all podcast subscriptions and only started adding those that I want to listen + limit when I listen to these episodes.

Side note - this is a single page with a few paragraphs, why is it 1.4MB in size (300kb gzipped)? It's just insane size for the amount of functionality it provides.

We are excited to launch Genome today!

Genome is a brand intelligence tool for e-commerce. With just a few clicks, we’re able to create you a new instagram post for your specific brand and product.

We've worked with brand experts across the industry to understand what makes a brand appealing and unique.

With Genome, you can generate and post customised Instagram publications (image and caption) in your brand's tone of voice, in one tool. Try it for free today. No more hours wasted thinking about a witty caption. No more dollars spent on a social media manager that does not understand your brand's values. Genome can publish a post for you on Instagram in just a few clicks.

We use Large Language Models (GPT3), image-to-text models (OFA), and Generative AI (fined tuned Stable Diffusion to maintain product fidelity) to achieve this.

Would love your feedback to make the tool better for you along the way.

I found I have more energy and focus as everyone else is getting ready for their day.

The secret is not to go to HN, twitter, etc :)

If you can't find time in the morning, meditating after you finish your day job also helps.

It's like leaving all thoughts about work at work and continue with fresh(er) state.

This month released support for on prem GitLab instances, and now working on adding GitHub actions.

Also wrote a blog post on building McPiper v1 a few weeks ago: https://oleggera.com/blog/mcpiper-v1/

They just continued to pay the same salary after I graduated.

Until you reach senior level, the best strategy for maximising salary is to switch to better paying jobs every ~2 years.

Also, I assume you are from Latvia as you have LV in your username - 1k is waaay to low. I have friends making 3.5k eur a month. You can find mid level positions that pay more than 2k/m

> - the popup to allow notification did not come (after manually allowing it works)

What's your macOS version? I've tried replicating it, but seems to work ok. It should ask at the last screen during the onboarding.

> - the name seems a bit weird, I guess the Mc comes from Mac?

Correct, it's a short version of Mac

> - I would prefer to have a setting that filters pipelines that are triggered by me only

Yep, it's on the radar, as this data isn't available directly from the GraphQL pipeline object, it requires another REST request to GitLab

> - you can open the preferences window unlimited times

That should be a quick fix

> - a bit weird that it requires write access but I guess that's a problem of GitLabs permission management

Yeah, I've raised it with them as docs dont't specify it at all, the ticket still open after 7 months

McPiper 1.3 release is out with private GitLab servers support.

Let me know what you think!

McPiper is a macOS status bar app that tracks GitLab CI/CD pipelines and sends notifications when the pipelines fail.

I'm Oleg, maker of McPiper. I've built it to help me monitor GitLab pipelines. While coding I don't look at my emails and I was missing failed pipeline notifications.

McPiper is macOS app that lives in the status bar and when a pipeline fails it will highlight it in red and will show the notification.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

I also plan to add GitHub Actions soon. Let me know if you like to see any other CI / CD tool.
