You seem to have some pretty detailed understanding of my hobby projects, and the way I enjoy doing them, considering you know neither them nor me!
> If you have created a hobby project database, you have the skills to learn how to query it - it is probably part of your hobby and fun.
Not at all in many cases. Many existing open source projects these days involve a database for better or worse, and I wouldn't enjoy porting their storage layer to something other than whatever database they already use.
I really don't need more engineering rabbit holes to go down in my life, neither at work nor in my free time. I do so by defining loose boundaries labeled "here be time sinks" and only go there if I'm really curious or it seems enjoyable, but not when I'm trying to get something else done.
LLMs have moved these boundaries somewhat, and I believe for the better.
