“Don’t move to that London” warned my northern grandfather once. “It’s full of spivs”.
The Oxford Dictionary (somewhat chauvinistically) defines a spiv as:
A man, typically a flashy dresser, who makes a living by disreputable dealings
“But I work in IT” I told him. “engineers aren’t like that”.
Since the recent release of Catalina, macOS has shipped with the ability to allow iOS/iPAD apps to run on macOS without any modification via a featureset known as Project Catalyst.
This is exciting, as writing React Native + Clojurescript apps as a target for the desktop is much more compelling than a pure Electron app (imo).

TL;DR
Two months ago, I published an open source project, which went viral by gaining 1200+ stars in the first 24 hours. As of this writing, it has attracted 5000+ stars. The project is called HTTP Prompt:
https://github.com/eliangcs/http-prompt
Here I want to share its development story.
It all began with Vertica. Not long ago, I used Vertica every day for my work. Vertica is a powerful database, but the official client (vsql) is not powerful at all. The GUI alternative, DbVisualizer, is bad as well.

Trigger warning: mention of suicidal ideation
tl;dr: I burned out as a developer at Amazon at the end of my second year. I’ve since found a healthy and sustainable work-life balance and enjoy work again. I write this to A) raise awareness, especially for new-hires and their families, and B) help give hope and advice to people going through the same at Amazon or other companies.
There’s been no shortage of anecdotes, opinions, and rebuttals regarding Amazon’s corporate culture as of late. I write this not to capitalize on the latest news-feed fad, but to share what I had already written and promptly deleted. I didn’t think anyone would want to hear my story, but it’s apparent people are going through a similar experience and don’t have a voice.
I’m a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon; SDE II basically means a software developer with at least 2–3 years of industry experience. I started at Amazon as an SDE I.
