Try openspec: https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/blob/main/docs/gettin...

That was my initial thought when reading the headline but the author states they didn't know it existed before doing this project and critiques it.

Indeed I have a lot of catch up to do, will spend some time with the popular tools before I go too much further down this road.

Yep I agree. I was looking for a getting started like for example here for openspec: https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/blob/main/docs/gettin... but couldn't find anything like that

Ibis is great! Used it with duckdb & Snowflake. Worked well for these backends

Ive used it but definitely ran into issues where Ibis couldnt handle a transformation and had to move back into Polars or DuckDB to do. I just eventually stripped it out.

Try out a new hobby, maybe take Salsa classes. Anything to be around people, don’t try to be comfortable alone.

Hey, that's not my point!:) My point is:

- Subscription services getting worse

- Open source / self hosted solutions becoming better

Self hosting is also a learning experience / hobby.

And I'm still subscribed to other streaming services! However I get more and more annoyed of getting worse overall products for higher prices.

It's not just Spotify, it's also Netflix & Co., so that adds up quickly!;) But I don't argue whether it's economical or not, my point is rather:

- Commercial subscription services are getting worse

- Self hosted solutions are becoming better

Jellyfin is a really nice piece of software & Navidrome looks really cool as well! And in some (not all!) aspects the open source alternatives are even better than their subscription equivalents.

That's true, I looked at it from pure consumerish selfish point of view. I appreciate the idealistic view and caring about artists, but in the end I believe:

- Most people will generally choose what's most convenient for themselves

- Streaming services will only change their ways if they lose customers. Any change they do is A/B tested, so the ads / price increases are definitely in their short term interest. Only when their customers churn because they cannot afford 10 subscriptions anymore or are tired of paying for ads something will change

Fair enough! However you need to consider:

- Depending on your taste you will need to subscribe to multiple servics. Shows / movies I enjoy are scattered across Netflix, AppleTV+, Prime, Disney+. And it's increasingly unlikely that IP is licensed out (i.e. no Star Wars on Netflix)

- There is a surprising amount of movies which are not on any streaming service (at least in Germany) OR they are but you still need to buy a digital copy or rent

- The UX of self hosted solutions like for example Jellyfin or other open source can (surprisingly!) be better than the paid solutions. I.e. no ads & and no UX redesigns

I'm not opposed to streaming services at all. I will subscribe to them as long as it's value for money.

However in recent years streaming services got worse while self hosted solutions got much much better.

Your point - subscription is cheaper than self hosting - may still hold, but the balance has definitely shifted in favor of self hosted solution.

I don't think it'll become mainstream in the near future (or ever) but for me personally it's worth it!

It's also not "either / or". You can both self-host and have subscriptions, but maybe you can cut down on some subscription services:)

I'm happy with VS Code.

Me too, including integration with GitHub Copilot

Not yet! But it's on my list to try out next after giving SeleniumBase[1] a chance.
