That is absolutely correct.
For applications requiring simultaneous writes from multiple programs (concurrency) or ACID transaction properties, using Markdown files as a substitute for a database is undoubtedly an anti-pattern and entails a risk of data corruption.
- rufuspollock 20d agoYou're absolutely right ... and this is more for a personal database (the way most people use Notion). Strictly we could have titled this: the markdown database pattern for small personal databases. The point was that for personal use e.g. keeping a list of projects, or books etc this is perfect. Or even for maintaining this list on a website. It isn't for multiple simultaneous writes
