I love the class of databases that are built on top of Postgres. It goes to show how far people can extend Postgres. I hope others can follow suit.

The headline makes it sound like they did work to improve the performance of count(*) in the postgres code, when that's not at all what the article is about. This post from Citus is far more informative: https://www.citusd

Makes sense. It's hard to tell without understanding what the batch jobs are actually doing... it sounds like you're running something similar to EMR jobs? We were about to use Heroku Shield at a previous gig. It's definitely

The company I currently work at respects developers immensely.

No matter what you do, or what process you implement, if the organization does not _respect_ engineers, your life will categorically suck. As others have noted, the amount of process involved with "Agile" these days is not in the

Yeah I found similar things. I think at some point I'd want to move to something like Quill when I want to build out a more complicated editor, but for now Trix just worked with little configuration. It was pretty easy to extend, works
