That's great it worked for you, but that's not a website backend. It would be foolish to run HN on SQLite for instance. I would go as far as to call it a vulnerability in such context, due to how easily it could be DoS'd.
- tptacek 3y agoHN famously ran (still runs?) on a series of flat files. You found the actual worst possible rebuttal.
- evantbyrne 3y agoMaybe you don't understand SQLite's locking issues? Having a bunch of different files that can be written to concurrently sounds like a better solution than SQLite for a social network backend.
- tptacek 3y agoYes, maybe that's it.
