It’s interesting to me that the focus of this analysis is handhelds. But what about all the web apps out there that use SQL databases to rowify my data?
Can/should one argue that web apps should be backed by highly indexable/searchable file systems so that when I want to depart a platform I can just ask the backend for my files?
- vorpalhex 5y agoSQL is at least a meaningful format, so as long as the holder of your data is required to give you a copy you are still good.
- pphysch 5y agoYes. Active Record ORMs (Rails, Django, etc.) are a plague that teaches devs to pretend data engineering isn't important. IMO, the only valid use for them is storing configuration that somehow can't be kept in memory after reading config files. Actual "data" (content) should be kept in stable, readable formats.
