nun-db VS cuelm

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

We've started working on a tool to use CUE to create a single config space across TF, Helm, and other tools in the devops space.

https://github.com/hofstadter-io/cuelm

Our hypothesis is that a unified config space across our industry will bring many benefits.

Our open questions are largely around whether we

(1) replace / alternative

(2) just a skin, still same reconciliation loop from the tools

(3) replace, but support existing modules & charts

Thanks for the share! Very timely

We are in the process of introspecting TF to produce CUE schemas. Maybe this can help us cuetify user TF as well

if you are curious: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/cuelm (it has expanded in scope since inception to include the likes of TF and other areas of e2e CI)
