Have you seen the Buenavista proxy server? It imitates Postges over DuckdDB. I use it in production for dbt queries, including inserts and updates.

On: Show HN: User return analysis in Stackoverflow, Insta, H&M

[rzykov]

I processed a lot of open data from Stackoverflow, Instagram, H&M, and others. I'm interested in how users return to make their actions: to write posts, to make a purchase, to answer a question.

This data can be valuable for startups to develop their business models as repeat users are the core of any business.

On: I have no side code projects to show you

Maybe it's better to provide access to Google on the interview. What do you think?

Or at least the JS reference. Or design the questions to fit the role. If it's a frontend role, then ask frontend questions, not some bullshit high school arithmetic.

I wrote most of the 'fizzbuzz' function but couldn't remember the "%" operator. Tests are annoying because it's not how developers work, at least I don't work that way, without any way to verify syntax or look anything up.

I recall an interview from years ago where I was asked to show the code behind my websites and step through it explaining what it did and why I did it. This is better than a test, because you're explaining how the code works and also showing off your work.
