I felt the same way until I found sqlx ( https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx ). The package lets you write sql in your app with compile-time checks. Was so much easier to get up and running than learning a new ORM.

My guess is that Salesforce execs already wanted to do this and then hired BCG to back this idea. At least, that’s how a lot of MBB consulting is.

Both Barnes and Noble and Waterstones are owned by the same hedge fund (Elliot Management). Looks like the hedge fund installed the new ceo when they purchased Barnes and Noble. That hedge fund is probably filled with MBAs.

I think it depends. Used to work in asset management. Seven investors in our group managing $4.0bn in equity and debt investments. We had complex, up-to-date excel models for every investment. We’d update them whenever the company released

Looks awesome! You mentioned that there’s not a lot of regulation of skincare products, but doesn’t the FDA regulate sunscreen pretty heavily? Like the US is behind Europe/Asia in sunscreens we offer because we’re not allowed to use an

Understandable. Appreciate that you all have a monetization strategy already. One of my hesitations with adopting VC-backed open source projects is that a lot of them don’t have a clear business model. We host Strapi on a server, so shouldn

This looks great! We use Strapi for our marketing site at https://articleasset.com and have been bitten by the lack of conditional logic before. Is there any plan to support serverless deployment? We use Nextjs with incremental

I’ve worked at SaaS companies that invested in ui/ux and one of the common reasons we’d win deals is our app looked “nicer” than our competitors. However, I do believe you can build a lasting saas business with a strong backend /

I don’t believe her when she says this is because of bandwidth. Given Vimeo’s scale, they must have insanely low data out fees. The only way I can see what she’s saying being true is if there’s gross incompetence at the company and their cl

Is there a reason for creating your own DDL? I imagine it’d be possible to use SQL DDL, introspect the database, and then generate the appropriate DDL for the migration. Does the Atlas DDL include more info over sql DDL?
