kholdstayr commented on Ask HN: What work/office purchase transformed your life?    · Posted by u/blotato

I only use DataGrip, but oh boy is that the best $8 a month that my employer pays for. I'd pay an absurd amount out of pocket per month for DG alone. Easily $100 probably.

I've used so many SQL GUIs and DataGrip is better than all of them in every way. From the top notch intellisense to the great GUI with safe and commitable changes, there's just so much that blows everyone else out of the water. I spent two years at one job settling for SequelPro, an old freeware MacOS SQL client. What the hell was wrong with me? For $8 a month, I could have felt much more comfortable and been more effective in my development.

I wish I could use DataGrip. I work in health IT but the database is over 1 TB and literally has over 1 thousand tables. DataGrip basically crashes.

I refunded my purchase.

I see that it doesn't go up (..) a directory.

Imagine if that was found in coastal waters. If I saw that while swimming I would nope the fuck out of the water.

Huh? I honestly thought this was the normal way to park. I guess parking spaces are big enough in america that you don't need it.

Yeah it's not very common in the US.

I remember their podcast back about 15 years ago. It was just two dudes reading wikipedia articles aloud, with commentary.

This isn't an exaggeration.

This book is amazing:

It's a bit basic in terms of compilers but it does teach a lot of useful things.

NPM is owned by Microsoft, who sell proprietary software, the kind that keygens are made to defeat.

Don't expect to see KMS spoofers on GitHub anytime soon for the same reason.
