Started working on a training plan builder after getting frustrated with trying to use an existing service (trainingpeaks) and not finding the controls intuitive enough without being a coach in their system.

I wanted something local and offline first + 10-20% better than excel, think I'm missing a few features other might find useful, but it works for my needs which has been great.

Slowly but surely adding things to https://plaintextwaittimes.com/

I have really enjoyed going back to a text first information dense design. I'll likely build more tiny sites like this in the future.

Very nice! Do you plan on adding arrival/departure information, too? (Maybe also airports outside the US?)

I'm debating adding 3 things next: arrival/departures, general airport delays and ground stops, and yes airports outside the US. Less clean TSA like information from those sadly.

Right now the only special airport is DEN where I've started to gather the real time data. https://plaintextwaittimes.com/airport/den

> and yes airports outside the US. Less clean TSA like information from those sadly.

Yeah, my impression has been that the whole space is a mess. How great would it be to have an app that can tell me about departures at any given airport in the world, including gate information, boarding / last call, has the plane arrived yet in the first place[0], …

[0]: Very useful to estimate whether there will be a delay or not.

Am from McK not involved with Kedro, it’s been open source for awhile now and I don’t think we are abandoning it, but it was apparently donated to the Linux foundation.

As far as impressions of it as a tool go it’s really just an opinionated way to build a pipeline and structure a project. Which is pretty useful when you have many. If you’re doing something that you know will be one off it is a bit overkill. Like using airflow when a makefile will do. There are some pretty nice plug-ins though if you want to try and have an opinionated ecosystem.

I really enjoy your articles on Towards Data Science and this seems to pull a lot from it. I bought the PDF copy. I have a Full Stack background and really like it all from the data engineering perspective

Thanks!

Thanks. I originally planned on covering more topics related to DevOps, such as CI/CD for model deployment, but felt that this might be a bit of a stretch for some readers, and it's any area where I have less experience. Glad to here it's useful from a full-stack perspective.

You cleared your ideas with the technical lead of the project. That doesn't necessarily include the manager.

I guess your expectation from the manager is the MBA types? Well they can never be good project managers in Tech, atleast what i have seen. Only tech people can lead good tech companies.

Can you point to any accessible versions of this? I’d love to check out an example, sounds really interesting.

Unfourtunately not, it’s part of a very expensive ERP package. But this article has a few screenshots:

Is this really all the same COBOL application? I'm truly impressed! Is there some kind of GUI toolkit for COBOL or the COBOL in this case only the logic behind the application and the GUI here is another language/framework?

I ask because your parent comment certainly rings true if this is all COBOL!

Seconded
