Let's not forget that Postgres has first-class support for Python [0] (unlike JavaScript etc which are maintained, or not, by third parties). I don't advocate going for Python for simple stuff but when you do use it, it has the ad

I agree there are always trade-offs, but at least as far as "losing a lot of he database performance" and "doing complex joins on your front end", I don't think there is anything in the PostgREST approach that would

The SubZero starter kit is great, and made this whole architecture seem practical to me. Thanks for your hard work here! (I'm currently using PostGraphile, but the starter kit is still an important tool for me.)

This is a common misunderstanding and I think a big reason why people are reluctant to try this type of architecture. The idea here is not to couple client code to the database structure. You should expose schemas that contain views on top

Very good observation, although I'd say this is still just understanding at the micro-level. A lot of what is going on in communication between people depends just as much on what hasn't been said, what would normally be said in t

"Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility." Very few people seem to actually believe this in their bones. All talk about being "agile" and "pragmatic" becomes a joke when it

Very mixed bag of the sources, several that look less than scientifically viable at a first glance (not judging whether they may have value along other dimensions). Others look more thorough/mainstream, like the very first one [0]. It

There are apps that lead you through a series of questions (pores/gills, cap shape, etc) to try to identify a mushroom. App + book + internet for anything that is remotely uncertain is a pretty good avenue if you don't have anyone

Would you mind sharing which rule-based system you're working with? IMO Answer Set Programming is very useful for things like this. The language is small and maps straightforwardly onto intuitive ways of thinking about rules. It's
