Completely agree, client side analytics can solve a lot of use cases

My prediction for dashboards in 2024 is that backends will get „dumber“ and instead of being queried n times in parallel will just ship the entire dataset to the frontend, e.g. as Arrow stream to @duckdb WASM. Then query the data in milliseconds…

Though it's mostly been touted for adhoc analysis, imo one of the killer use cases of @duckdb is low-latency analytical queries to power dashboards and live applications.
Embed it into a nodejs server and serve analytics through an API - Pinot/Druid lite.

Embedded DBs are having a renaissance.
RDBMS: SQLite
OLAP: DuckDB
Graph: KuzuDB
Search: Chroma
The developer experience is so good on these. Things just work. Really cool to see.

I’m really hoping that the new fondness for Architectural Decision Records results in better critical thinking and internal communication, rather than just more ceremony.

I'm a big believer that great products are a result of healthy autonomy. It means less interdependencies between teams, strong API/data boundaries, mature capacity planning, the devops model where devs are operators of their services.

What's the difference between professional high achievers and amateur day dreamers?
A lot.

Not a developer: blogs in Wordpress
Junior developer: writes their own blog site
Developer: writes their own blog site framework
Senior developer: uses someone else’s blog site framework
Staff developer: blogs in Wordpress

this is a good metaphor for becoming a senior engineer. senior is a terminal level; you must advance so far, most won't advance farther.
a few will go on to staff or principal roles, just like a few doctors will go on to become medical administrators, instructors, or inventors.

Idk, do we do that "rightly"?
Doctors understand that at some point you are a doctor and then you doctor forever unless you choose to change to a deferent set of responsibilities
I wonder if we need to have a stronger concept of what terminal levels look like

We don’t talk enough about how easy rewrites become when you have strong API boundaries.

"If you ever find yourself stressed, overwhelmed, sinking into stasis despite wanting to change, or frustrated when you can’t respond to new opportunities, you need more slack in your life." Great article from @farnamstreet

After years of following his tweets and nodding along , finally became a paid @GergelyOrosz newsletter subscriber and it’s very good. Here’s a snippet on coming into a new team’s engineering culture. (btw he did not pay me to write this tweet and don’t sleep on it)

"The job of the platform team is not about building the platform, it's about enabling developers.
This includes outreach, training and more.
If you do build a platform treat it as a product"

"If I gave the people what they wanted, all they would have gotten was faster horses" — Henry Ford
Likewise, developer advocacy is not just asking builders what features they want. Don't be just a messenger. Be a catalyst for change. 😊

"Platform Engineering" is rapidly becoming the new DevOps or SRE. Almost every day we hear about another org building an internal developer platform or control plane.
Want to know what platform engineering is, where the trends are going, and why you should care?
