β€œThe History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?”

Thinking more on DB210ish with one db - postgres. Going further than just tables to the topics I mentioned before.

views, schemas, complex joins, imperative v declarative etc

Hey @zensical.orgπŸ‘‹I am trying to get Admonitions to work in my new documentation site.

I see your docs have a mkdocs.yml and not a zensical.toml

Any πŸ”₯ hot tips to make my `!!! info` get rendered nicely ?

bluesky-map.theo.io has put me in the SAP Developers Ecosystem

Funny thing is - despite having many friends in that ecosystem (gravity well) - I haven't worked in it for about 7 years.

I love my open source languages web dev space now.
