Meh. Just like anything else on the internet. Value can be derived if the person using it has both critical thinking as well as the capacity to spot the flaws or falsehoods.
In this sense it's literally no worse than reading random "news" articles and somehow taking it all as fact at face value.
If you fall into the trap of taking everything ChatGPT tells you as gospel you've already lost.
As for the so called false promise, this is old man yells at clouds stuff.
I'd extend the API to allow for querying via JSON similar to keen rather than merely focusing on visualizations.
Honestly as a dev all I want is a simple/fast/cheap keen alternative that I can dump events into and do ad-hoc analytical queries with programmatically.
This is something I've been hoping to see for a long time. I've long wanted a serverless postgres solution that would enable me to inexpensively put up a db and throw hasura on top of it.
I have a question about performance though. Let's say I have a table with millions of rows. Would it automatically scale to resources to get me sub second queries on it?
Ultimately that's what I desire in such a solution. Something that will let me throw whatever at it and will handle the scaling to keep whatever queries I throw at it fast.
My other pipedream in addition to this would be multi tenancy (including integrations).
A perfect world scenario is a drop in multi tenant zapier alternative that enables SaaS providers to either create workflows for their users so all they need to do is authenticate integrations for the most part or allow for them to build their own workflows from scratch.
I realize this is probably out of scope of the services aim but it doesn't hurt to throw it out there since all of the alternatives that exist are sorely lacking in various ways.
My senior year in high school was the first year they had a programming class and it was Pascal. The very next year they instead started teaching C++.
As a consequence out of necessity a couple of years later I ended up self teaching myself PHP then Ruby then JS. These days I'm pretty proficient with it.
I had an easier time doing it because of those early concepts I learned with Pascal.
I often wonder what would have happened if I had learned C++ instead.
This looks like a good start.
