  • I have no issue with that, but let’s not act like there was anything else other than a trend.

    If people said ‘I got caught up in the moment, everyone was doing it’ then fine, you got duped, it happens.

    But don’t give me lame excuses. Most people didn’t approach it critically, which is not unusual, but own up to it.

    I’m tired of the same excuse over and over.

    And those tests weren’t even that cheap.












  • Sort of harsh approach, but I get it.

    Though I did learn the most while having a lot of data and had issues with performance.

    Studying Postgres in that job was the absolute best part, I learned so much, and now I can’t find a problem Postgres can’t fix.

    There was a running joke in my last office that I was paid to promote Pg because every time MySQL fucked something up, I would bring up how Postgres would solve it. I even did several presentations.

    Then we migrated to Postgres and suddenly everything is stable as a rock, even under worse conditions and way more data.

    I just love Postgres so much.


  • Wow, do I have some stories for you.

    But in short, there’s a lot of FOSS software that people use every day without knowing about it.

    And it gets no funding, because why it should.

    Companies making 9+ figures have issues sending even a $1000 to an open project that they depend heavily on.

    But Microsoft/Oracle/VMWare/Google licenses? That money just shoots out like from a cannon.

    Even if those products are not 100% needed and can be replaced.
