Open source at Fastly is getting opener
One of the things that stifles openness is noise. Sifting through our public repos, some are very obviously redundant and just distracting. So we started by archiving a whole bunch of them - over half, in fact. We wrote some Google Apps Script in a spreadsheet to import and analyze the state of all our public repos:

Ask HN: Should I move away from JavaScript based skillset because of saturation?
I am not a JS developer, but in some tech areas there are niches with relatively fewer developers competing for the same position.
I don't know if this is actually a niche, but since I don't see it mentioned frequently on HN, perhaps you could have a look at Google Apps Script [0], which is basically JS for automating and extending Google Docs (Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides), and integrating them into GCP. Tons of companies have whole departments living inside Google Docs, so I imagine they would pay for software making their lives easier. I would but I currently don't have the budget for it, so I am writing short scripts myself. Curiously, Bard and ChatGPT produce really bad Apps Scripts code, which would be to your advantage.
When I occasionally hire people, I do look at their repos to see how good they are in a specific language. Specifically, how easy to follow and idiomatic their code is, what the quality of their comments and documentation is, are there any tests, even if very rudimentary. I particularly enjoy original projects like home automation, custom keyboard firmware, an alternative Netflix UI, a ggplot extension, a basic Python wrapper for some overly-complicated API vs. your typical to-do app or yet another analysis of the Bike Sharing dataset. I don't expect all people to have public repos or FLOSS contributions because not everyone has the time for that. However, if you wanted to demonstrate skills in a technology you haven't used professionally, I think it is a good idea.

Apps Script function frequency and quotas
I have a function in Apps Script that returns the Document Position, and I currently have it set to be called every second. However, I'm concerned about potential limitations or quotas that I might reach by making such frequent function calls. I got the idea from their own samples.

Google Calendar add-on: Emotify Events
Since a few years I had a Google Apps Script that prefixed some events in my calendar with an emoji. This helps me spot certain events or categories of events. This blogpost explains very well why I like to add emoji's to my calendar events.

Ask HN: What does everyone like for all-purpose business process platforms?
From my current employer I discovered that you can get surprisingly high mileage with spreadsheets and a little bit of scripting.
My employer uses Google Sheets with app scripts [1].
It automatically reads emails, updates a bunch of spreadsheets, makes other API calls, creates entire report documents etc.
The initial setup might take a while though.

Coding Class for Pre-teen?
I have completed https://grasshopper.app entirely with no prior knowledge of coding. It is very hands on easy to follow. There is more doing coding than reading and each question has a walkthrough available. It is by Google and directs you too Google's own coding platform when you finish. It covers the basics of coding, automation, HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Google's AppScript that work with apps like Google Drive and Sheets. Each course has a PDF certificate of completion. (Last I checked the app was bricked and suggested using the webpage until they figured out the bug with the new operating system.)

Pocketbase: Open-source back end in 1 file
It is great to see the number of good opensource projects in this area. Grist and NocoDB deserve mentions, although more targeted towards database management. It is also amazing that they provide so simple ways to get started (single file/electron)

Unicorn Startup Airtable Lays Off 27% of Firm, Shifts Focus to Big Clients
Baserow is cool. We evaluated it within our company a few months ago and eventually settled for Nocodb (https://nocodb.com/) - easy to run, more mature.
Leaptable is another Open Source framework like Airtable I saw recently with support for AI Agents. https://github.com/peterwnjenga/leaptable

Undb β open-source airtable alternative
That looks interesting!
I currently use NocoDB with a MariaDB database, so I can't easily switch over as Undb doesn't support MySQL as I see. But it has the feature I'm missing in NocoDB: a Calendar View which funnily NocoDB promoted on their website but doesn't have [1]. I guess I'll give it a try!
