I have a LOT fewer requests than you, but this one is just so irritating:
>- Fucking SQL. I don't want to learn your stupid DSL. I want to give coworkers a SQL client a say "go! You already know how to use this!". If I want a new feature, then dammit, build on top of SQL the way PostgreSQL has. Odds are, regardless if its some JSON API or SQL, my language will have a client for it that will be superior than writing raw queries anyway.
It pisses me off to no end these developers have to out-think SQL and re-invent the whole damn new wheel for "efficiency's" sake. It seems that no one takes into account friction costs and instead just waggles their dick around saying "Look how smart this new language is or how I co-opted [erlang,perl,JS,etc] into being the query language!" Just stop it. Some people making less than $150k/year are going to have to use this and they are good at DB analysis but not bullshit esoteric language writing.
Good lord this makes me so mad. I feel your pain.
- phusion 12y agoAlmost blasted my screen with yerba mate after the dick waggling remark, kudos.
- BigChiefSmokem 12y agoThis 100x this! I'm sick and tired of this elitist new feature for new feature sake as well. Some of us have to work for a living and would like to go home after the workday instead of catching up on the new flavor of the week.
- wheaties 12y agoThis! Yes, this is why I like Redis and Cassandra if I'm not going with a standard SQL DB. The first acts like a KV store on steroids and Cassandra has CQL which is almost exactly like SQL except without joins (ok, slightly more than that.) If Cassandra could get it right, why can't everyone else?
- cpncrunch 12y agoThat's an amusing (and incorrect) assumption that the smartest people are making >$150k.
