Since v16, Postgres supports bidirectional logical replication out of the box. In other words, multiple writers.

It is a PITA, but I've written scripts that pg_dump just the schema, load the schema into the new db with the new version, set up logical replication between the two, wait for them to sync, reset all the sequences, and rebuild indexes

Learning how to do all of this is laudable for the same reason that learning LinuxFromScratch is a stupendous way to learn how Linux works and to get a job doing lower level maintenance work. That said, everything on your list is provided o

I'd put even more concerns on C++. All the same concerns plus all the concerns that arise from the compiler not helping you nearly as much. It's easy with C++ to be lulled into a false sense of security because it compiles, and yo

A garbage collector really takes away a huge amount of cognitive overhead. In doing away with it, Rust requires that you understand the borrow checker and lifetimes, even if minimally due to extensive use of .clone() in your early code. Thi

If a garbage collected language can easily do the job, choose the garbage collected language. I like Rust, but it is NOT the fastest language to develop in. Typescript, Python, Go, Swift, and even Bash depending on the situation are all qui

Another use case is when you need a systems language for a user-facing app (even if not directly connected to the internet) and would have reached for C++ previously. Memory corruption bugs are no joke. If you've got staff that already

I'd rather go to Svelte for lower bundle size than Preact, better performance than Preact, and clearer code with fewer lines written than Preact. Sure, I'd lose access to the React ecosystem, but I'd also gain access to the

So how small can you get for a hello world page with a single "hello $name" component, spending an hour or less on it?

The "reconcile" (my God do geeks love making what they do sound fancier than it is) does not match the HTML5 parser "reconciliation" spec. The DOM element API "emissions" match the order triggered by the markup

What's the smallest "Hello ${name}" hooked up to an input field you can make deployable in React? Svelte's is about 2.1KB last I checked. Can React get below 40KB?

1. React doesn't have less boilerplate than the average let alone most. 2. You haven't seen Angular lately, have you? It's on 18 now. 15 and 16 really trimmed things down.

Do you have to close all of your tags? Yes. Is the markup based on HTML with XML rules like closing tags? Yes. Do you even have to close the tags of your custom components? Yes. When generating your createElement sequence from JSX, does it

Postgres. I don't code in C if I can avoid it, since it often feels like an awful lot of extra typing while still having to worry about memory safety. But the Postgres codebase is extraordinarily well organized and respects the humans

Learn JavaScript first, then React. Far too many devs know the React APIs without any context. If you know JS/TS, any framework is learnable. If you don't, your React code will never improve past mediocre and bloated. Strong found
