You are right, that was not a good choice of words. What i was getting at is that the article reads as "i was constantly fighting Rdb and Pg solved all my problems" and even if ppl don't make judgements on the developers they do so on the tool and that kind of remains in your brain, you attach a stigma to the tool and never consider it even though it will get a lot better if you just give it time. For example, i tried pg back in 2000 something, did just a stupid benchmark on how fast it does a count, compared it to mysql and never looked back, so for 10 years i ignored pg because of that stupid test and because in my brain there was this idea that it's slow. Thank god i somehow got over that ...
- aidos 10y agoMight be wrong, but I feel like you may have a vested interest and hence read the article as more of an attack than it really was. To me it reads more like "I understood the problem space better during the rewrite so I could solve things in more apppropriate ways with a the tools at hand."
- ruslan_talpa 10y agoYes you are wrong :) i do not have a vested interest in RethinkDB, I actually do have a vested interest in Postgres :), so i was kind of defending the other guy although i am PG all the way (read my other comments, you'll see i quite like PG, so much so that i built a tool/business around it) EDIT: removed a link
