@StavrosK: (aka the author) - what is the TLDR of the article? Ask since there appear to be a number of users including myself that appear to not get the intent of your article.

Meta-comment: Feel like if the poster is self-identifying as the author when posting the link, it’s verified via say email/domain, an HN username has been ID’d in the past as the author, etc. — it should be automatically obvious in post, comments, etc.
- StavrosK 9y agoIt's what I explicitly call out as a TLDR in the article itself: "Think before you pick a database. If you insist on not thinking, pick PostgreSQL. Trust me." Basically, "Postgres is a better default".
- wonderous 9y agoThere is no TLDR, summary, etc. clearly marked as such; by one estimate it takes 140 seconds or 468 words to get to the start of the sentence you quoted above; which is strange given your point is to stick to best practices unless there’s a strong reason not to do so. Strongly recommend moving that info to the top of your post.
