I have a mixed real-world experience with PostgREST's friend: Postgraphile (I/E like PostgREST but generate GraphQL instead of REST). It's great, but some tools are a bit rough, and people hate you for forcing them to write 8

At work, I pushed for a monorepo. We deploy everything as docker containers, both the backend, the frontend and the services. Each service imports and compiles what it needs, nothing more. We could look to deploy CSS in a different way to o

Oh, yeah, more names for the same old thing in order to fragment the ecosystem and write more books that could be a mechanical translation of old books (search and replace old-word -> new-word). That's definitely what the world need

You don't hate teams. I hate teams. Because it's ultra-slow and bloated, and used to eat 1.5 CPU cores all the time until I threw it permanently on a browser window. And now it doesn't notify me when other people send me a

My wife's sister decided to name their two newborns with three names, on top of the usual two surnames. I wish luck to those two little guys, as their names will be misrepresented pretty much in every system in the world.

Definitely. But also expensive non-squeaky wheels get replaced with cheaper wheels if upper management is in the mood of cost cutting.

You will be on the next round of layoffs regardless of your loyalty. "You were updating linkedin" is the excuse. It could be anything else. But the reality is that they found someone cheaper.

I mean, isn't that what happens when you use SQL? When was the last time you specified how the bytes were aligned in disk in your database? By the same logic, the SQL datatype is also missing.
