The race between Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg is a throwback to VHS/Betamax days. Microsoft is betting on the former while for example Snowflake is now allowing you to back tables with the latter, making it possible to integrate your

Interesting to see how Databricks reacts to this given that they have their own Project Lightspeed (replacing the Spark execution engine).

The challenge for Databricks and Snowflake is that big cloud vendors are catching up with their own serverless products such as Redshift Serverless [0]. And they now provide Spark engines as well with associated notebooks. What's the u

While ECR costs a lot less than DigitalOcean's container registry service, they still charge 5x more over AWS S3. I suppose if you need encryption? Seems like they provide some value-add that some users might need. This project was mos

The problem is that many projects (open or closed source) don't respect the exponential cost in bringing in a new dependency, i.e. code that's not under your own management. Bringing in a shitty old bloated logging library with fu

That's probably more or less the same thing in terms of what actually happens in PostgreSQL. All things considered, an actual database probably gives you the least gray hair, but with some careful test setup I have had good success usi

Another trick is to use (possibly nested) savepoints and rollback after each test, never actually committing any data.

When I look at the headlines you posted I don't see anything that remotely leads me to think this is related to such media as you suggest.

This list seems to be another example of a mediocre programmer trying to look better by saying that an actually better programmer does not exist because their output is objectively not better when you look at it holistically. The reasoning
