InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Finnish, mostly. I moved to Finland a few years ago and have been making slow but consistent progress along the vectors I care about ever since. I just wish language learning didn't take so much time.
I've built some little tools for the task, which ended up teaching me enough about modern development that I could enter back into software as a career without too much hassle. There were no good Anki frequency list decks, so I made https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1331009943 and later https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1149950470 .
These in turn led me to devour a book on the inner workings of SQLite and web dev, because I needed some way to scrape Tatoeba without losing my data every time. Eventually I got good enough to start reading the 'clear Finnish's news, but then I realized YLE.fi didn't seem to have an easy way for me to scrape all previous news articles, so I built https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/selkouutiset-archive/ as an excuse to get a little deeper into Hugo and also learn some stuff about Git modules, systemd timers, doing things on a Raspberry Pi, doing things in GCP...
... And finally today I made the first lurching version prototype of a flashcard generator for that news archive, at https://github.com/Selkouutiset-Archive/selkokortti . I guess I just keep stringing the tools and interests I have together to make bigger and bigger things. Maybe that's all a career/vocation really is at the end of the day.
I've also been learning a lot about QEMU and virtualization. That's mostly for work. I make software that runs on trains.
