Let's say you have to pay 30% tax on 800,000 of profit, so now you're 240k in the hole. That's your year one! If you don't survive to take the future deductions it's kinda moot right?

It's worse if you push it off shore, actually. Overseas salaries are amortized over 15 years instead of five. > The new Section 174 rules require taxpayers to capitalize and amortize specified R&E expenditures over a period of f

(I put this in a reply further down, but bringing it to the top) Previously if a company has a million dollars in revenue and spends a million dollars on the salaries of software developers, this is how their taxable income might look:

If a company has a million dollars in revenue and spends a million dollars on the salaries of software developers, how much tax do you think they should pay in that year? 1,000,000 Revenue - 1,000,000 Salary expense -----------

I'd say some of it is, but I don't know enough about Maria to say much more than that. MySQL and Maria have diverged quite a bit at this point, so I'd proceed with caution on any of the specifics.

I won't be the one to do PostgreSQL for Developers, but I think _someone_ should! I think a good teacher could make a lot of money doing it if they wanted. This course talks briefly about ORMs, but does not go into usage of any particu

Thank you very much. It has certainly been a long journey, and the positive feedback here is a massive relief.

We do support foreign keys, just not foreign key constraints. There's actually a video in the course that talks about the difference and why you might not need constraints: https://planetscale.com/courses/mysql-for

Well that's a massive encouragement. Thank you so much!

This is a great idea. Let me see how quickly I can get that done.

I agree, there's a huge desire for this! I don't know the first thing about Postgres though, so it's not gonna be me :) There's an opportunity for a creator here.

Thank you! I shared a little about the process on twitter here: https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1638191349261377539 . Start to finish... a long, long time. 18 months on and off, 4 months full time. I start

Hey there! Looks like the TablePlus question was answered below. I don't cover connecting to a database and coding along, but that's a good idea. I'll see if I can get the sample data up somewhere for y'all to download.

Yeah, I think you would still learn some good stuff! I go pretty deep into indexes and do some fun stuff with generated columns, windows, and CTEs. Based on your comment, you're the person I was hoping to hit! So if you do watch it, le

Thanks swyx! Means a lot coming from you. We're lucky to have an incredible team at PlanetScale to help me pull off such a huge lift. We had maybe 5 or 6 people building out the website and 5 or 6 people that reviewed the content for t

Thank you Justin, that was 100% my intent so that's encouraging to hear. There is a ton of good information, but man so much of it is irrelevant for application developers (as opposed to DBAs). Hopefully this fills that gap!

Thanks Nate! Excited to get back to short form videos haha. I'm done with long form for a little bit

Haha thank you! I'm really grateful that everyone at PlanetScale gave me _so_ much time to work on this. We're really committed to doing everything as high quality as we can, even the free stuff. Let me know what you think!

Ha I was waiting for it to be edited, I thought they pulled the trigger too soon... but guess not?

Whew, that's a relief. Keep me posted if you find out it's on our side.

Oh there are definitely missing pieces! I tried to cover the "meaty middle" of what application developers usually need to know. I did not cover stored procedures and triggers. I did cover CTEs and windows, which are not yet suppo

Hey HN, I made this course :D The course is a bit more than 7 hours long split over 64 videos. I was always frustrated by the lack of intermediate database content, it seemed like it was mostly intro stuff, or straight to DBA level. So I re

From the second post in the series: > we encountered no disruption, no downtime, and no impact to normal operation throughout the course of these migrations. Wow, kudos to the team. That's quite a feat! Y'all should be proud.
