ScreenBaby VS nun-db

As someone who has been majorly affected by the Hollywood strikes, I finally dived in and spent the time needed to make mistakes to continually learn how to program.

That said, ive been working on a node.js psd Text screenplay parser that will ultimately push out a JSON object according to an initiative to standardize all screenplay objects in screenJSON[0].

Here is the github for my project, it’s messy but I’m about 80% there and just need to spend more time on Regex to catch edge cases. Currently working on a next.js front end that maps out the script into a visual format but that’s not ready to be seen yet. Also don’t judge me on the name, it’s not going to stay as that. No AI as of yet, but could use text classifiers to be able to tell the difference between a key prop, and say, a camera movement but I’m trying to get as far as I can without LLM help of the classifications.

I never correlate my growth with the company I am working for; sometimes, you overgrow the company, and it is time to leave.

"Pays okay; 100% remote; very few meetings; low standards for productivity mean I have great work/life balance" seems like a perfect workplace.

What you need is probably a project outside of work to challenge you. I built my own company 13 years ago as a side project (I still run it up to this day as a side project) because I was a Mobile developer and Would like to keep doing Web development.

Today, I am having fun with my Open-source project https://github.com/mateusfreira/nun-db. When I have too many meetings or fight fewer coding challenges in my work, writing my own distributed database keeps me fresh and challenged. With it, I learned Rust and also distributed systems, which made me read books and papers that would never be needed for my normal work.

I see that as growing, and it has brought me great opportunities. Times these side projects become companies, and you make money; times, they bring job opportunities that you would not have otherwise.

You should leave a company when your growth is faster and more than the company can take in. Meanwhile, use the low pressure to go after other challenges personally; that is my way of dealing with it.

I am currently developing an open-source (MIT) database that can be directly accessed from the frontend (browser and apps) , that is distributed, and capable to deliver data in real-time. The primary goal is to provide support for any use-case that requires close proximity to users and, most importantly, it is entirely free to use and run by yourself if desired.

Feedback is always welcome, especially if you have a use-case in mind that you believe it may be suitable for but are unsure. I have already utilized it in many of my personal projects and for a few clients with a small number of users, but I am hopeful that it will soon be ready for larger-scale implementation.

Working towards making Nun-db (My personal open source project ) a leader less distributed database check it out https://github.com/mateusfreira/nun-db/pull/50 just yesterday I merged one pull requests there was going for like 2 weeks
