What helped me grow was my own drive to solve someone else’s needs. Look for what it is troubles them, figure out whether and if so how software can help, and then create a tool to do so.

One of the things that has escaped me, is how to connect diesel to a database that already exists. It is great that it can take care of creating a database and keeping it up to date, and keeps a record of all changes so you can recreate it as needed. But how does one use diesel to access a database that already got created and is in active production? A database with a structure that diesel is not allowed to alter? With pre-existing stored procedures that perform data updates?
That would be lovely!
Hello! My clients have me administer their servers and mostly scheduled tasks on those. Powershell is an invaluable tool for that. I’ve built analyzers that determine whether scheduled tasks ran a normal amount of time, or whether they took too long, compared to their own normal duration. I also regularly run benchmarks to determine the fastest way to do things, like archiving millions of files across file servers.
