The parent link does not work... is the repo private?

I wonder how this compares to pgModeler (https://pgmodeler.io/) which I've been using the most in the recent years, would love is someone who had tried both could share some observations.

Thank you!

Ask HN: Any book recommendations for higher management positions?

illuminated — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 08:30:15 +0000

A friend of mine is about to be promoted to a very senior management position, with multiple layers of management between her and engineers.

She's asked for some reading recommendation on managing managers in a technology company (communication, setting goals/KPIs, meaningful feedback, coaching/mentorship, etc.).

"The Manager's Path" although being one of the best books I've read, is mostly focused on having the engineers being fairly near to you in the organization chart.

Do you have some good reading recommendation for building a good set of skills in senior management positions?

It's sad that most of the mentioned stand-alone (desktop) alternatives do not have a Linux option.

Well, I'd love to see a change there as well, then: if I'd want to share the interface with my family I wouldn't want to reenter everything everywhere they might be accessing the page from.

The only thing I'd suggest to consider to add is some sort of authentication. If I deploy this on a server so I could reach it with my mobile, on the go, and it has my API credentials, I wouldn't want anyone who stumbles upon the page to be able to interface ChatGPT on my expense.

Otherwise, it really looks good.

Never heard of them, thanks

Ask HN: Any first-hand experience with micro-funding side projects?

illuminated — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 09:46:21 +0000

So, does anyone have first-hand experience in receiving small/micro-funding for side projects, but outside of US?

I've found several organizations that provide this kind of funding [0], but most of them are in US. These organizations are covering either projects by people in US or, if the execution is outside the US, the funded projects are mostly community based initiatives.

So, is there such an organization that provides similar, small scale funds (few hundreds of USD monthly) for covering infrastructure costs (like server and similar) during development of software projects? Have you used something similar in the past, or now, and what is your experience of both the application process and later?

The most similar thing I have found to what I'm looking for is the micro-grant fund for side projects by Tyk [1], but they're not opening the applications soon.

From the pricing page [0]:

Is there a free trial?

Unfortunately, because of the logistics of how this works, there is no free trial period. We do our best to give you an idea of what you're buying via public documentation, videos, and an overview of the repo. If you buy it and truly decide you aren't going to use it, contact us about a refund.
