SQLite and Video Cameras
Hi Everyone,
It's July now, and I have a new episode out with Richard Hipp about SQLite. You can find it here: https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/
SQLite is public domain and has a Christian blessing in place of a license agreement, so I went into the interview with the idea that Richard would be an unusual character who gave away SQLite for deeply held idealistic reasons.
The true story was much different. Richard is a normal and very talented software consultant who just put SQLite up on his webpage and saw it take off. He ended up building a career around i,t and it took him on some exciting adventures. Let me know what you think of the interview.
I also recently wrote an article about facial expressions and using video when working on a distributed team. You can find it here: https://earthly.dev/blog/video-camera-on/.
It showed up on Reddit, and I got a lot of pushback on this idea. I guess not everyone thinks video is helpful, or maybe people are just tired of zoom at this point. My situation is unique, but I don't find seeing my colleagues or them seeing me as being intrusive - I find it valuable.
