What I like about ETL tools like Dagster and Prefect is that you get observability “for free”. You can set the granularity by deciding what is a task/job/flow/op and how they’re grouped together. And then in one UI you get logs, metrics, a waterfall view with timed executions, all kinds of useful information.
It’s so useful that sometimes I’m tempted to reach for it in non-ETL contexts. My problem is that these tools generally don’t mesh well with real-time streaming requirements.
Well in that situation you can stash unstaged, reset, then pop. But that just reinforces the OP’s point. Not the most ergonomic or discoverable path for something that should be simple to do.
The part that worries me about managing your own server is the security aspect, it's just a much larger surface area than just running a docker image on fly.io, for example. Do self-hosted PaaS like Coolify/Dokku/CapRover handle this aspect? Or do you still have to take all the steps you'd usually take securing the server?
I am aware of “n”. You can be familiar with vim’s keybindings and still appreciate a different way to solve a problem.
Something like Lightspeed lets you zone in on the specific character faster than repeatedly pressing n. Sure, that means installing a plugin, but some people accept that trade off.
I think / works well most cases, but is a bit annoying when you have several duplicate character sequences, so you end up having to type more and more of the sequence to discriminate.
You might benefit from targets.vim, it works well with your thought process. It adds a bunch of new really useful editing targets (which should be builtin imo).
It looks interesting, but I already use Lightspeed (by the same author). Still not sure how this is an upgrade over that, even after reading the docs. Is there a more compelling argument for switching?
