I’m still a big fan of the Datasette / Dogsheep pattern for managing personal data: The idea is that you write a small export tool to download your personal data to a SQLite database, and then you can use Datasette as a generic data exploration/visualization tool. This was the “eerily good” experience – when this works, it feels like magic to type an plain language explanation of something and see the tool spit out working code. (I’ve had Copilot enabled for the full time I’ve been writing this post, but the suggestions have so poor that it’s been more annoying than useful 😛).
