Copy/pasting Makefile all over again across services, and tweaking rules to fit needs. Totally relatable 😅 I like the questions at the end: - Does it need to be configurable? - Does it need syntax of its own? blog.yossarian.net/2025/01/10/Be-…

`WHERE field != 'value'` may not include values with `NULL` in the results. This is due to SQL's "Three Valued Logic", which considers a comparison with NULL, such as `NULL != 'value'`, as neither `true` or `false`, but `uknown`. More on the subject: modern-sql.com/concept/three-…

👀 I just found out that Slack has a way to filter messages on which I reacted with an emoji. So I can notify people that I saw the message, with an eyes emoji or a loading one, and then come back to it later with this in the search bar: hasmy::eyes:
