Prisma is good for writing simple selects, updates, and deletes. But the moment you need to write any kind of advanced query with joins, nested queries, unions, etc. it gets frustrating very quickly. Kysely and Knex are far more flexible fo

While I agree with the general argument in the article that sales data and similar metrics should be public, I think there's a lot more that can be done to unlock all of the knowledge stored in books. There are vast amounts of knowledg

That's some great feedback, thank you! I'll add these to my notes for the upcoming revisions. There's a section about having a "team-first approach," but I agree with your comment that mentorship is another trait th

We're planning to make some revisions to the book based on some of the early feedback we've gotten, so for now the Holloway reader is the best place to read the book. We do plan to offer PDF and ePUB versions in the bundle in the

Thanks! And congrats on your book as well. It turned out to be way more work than I imagined, but it was worth it. I ended up learning and growing as an engineer myself during the whole process. Getting the right words down on paper really

Thank you! I agree, there's plenty of resources out there to learn how to code, but there's a lot that goes into being a professional programmer than just writing code. I'm hoping this will be a good resource for developers w
