One usecase we have (we built it ourselves) is to periodically offload data from Postgres to lake house partitioned data on GCS. The way I see it this can now be done with a single query. Another one is the other way around to use posters as a query engine or to merge offloaded data with your live data.
Yeah, I totally abandoned Notion last year because it got too slow. The whole thing is pointless if it takes a minute or two just to navigate to the page I want. It takes a few seconds to do that on an archaic corporate SMB share.
Yes, I just tried using Notion again the other day after being annoyed with Obsidian Projects and even with only a couple entries on a notion database page, it took MINUTES to load, on web and on the desktop version. Uninstalled it immediately and went back to Obsidian.
I’m completely done with Notion now. It was great when it was new, worked well and did what it advertised. But now it has too many features and I feel its core functionality has really suffered.
Surely this could be addressed by putting more AI on top.
On a serious note, my team is very happy we migrated from Notion to Linear for task tracking last year, but we're still looking how to cover the wiki part.
I made a silly twilio app for my daughter’s 1st birthday party where guests had a set of photos in front of them and they had to guess the correct age ordering and could validate their guess to win a prize using the temporary number I had setup.

A word of advice. You spent the time writing this post knowing full well it would get a lot of hits but it appears you haven't yet updated your resume. Little details like that go a long way towards winning over a lot of hiring managers.Good luck!
Best of luck! Just went through a lot of interviews with a number of engineering companies before finally settling on an offer, and can strongly agree a more human approach is sorely needed. I get that there is a strong fear of hiring under-qualified candidates, but the true cost is a loss of perspective on long-term hiring.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We've found the fear of hiring under-qualified candidates is one of the primary reasons why hiring managers screen out candidates without recognizable line items on their resume.
By re-humanizing this process and getting better data around a candidate, we hope that hiring managers will qualify more diverse candidates and think more long-term.
