Very cool article. Semantics are important and key. Article nails it.
Reduce, reduce, and then reduce farther.
I'll add my 2c: Ditch the cargo cults. Biggest problem in software dev. I say this 30 years in.
Hard lesson for any young engineers: You don't need X, Y, or Z. It's already been invented. Stop re-inventing. Do so obsessively. You don't GraphQL. You don't need NoSQL. Downvote away.
Pick a language, pick a database, get sleep.
Never trust the mass thought. Cargo culting is world destroying.
- csomar 2y ago> Stop re-inventing. > You don't GraphQL. Isn't that... ironic? You can Postgres -> GraphQL pretty much without code (pg_graphql). And then link your interfaces with the GraphQL endpoints with little code. Why re-invent with REST APIs?
- mrkeen 2y ago> Stop re-inventing. You don't need NoSQL. I need somewhere for my objects to live. Objects are not relations. Scattering their data across five tables, to fit the relational model, so I can later JOIN them together again, has to be the biggest example of cargo culting in the whole field.
