It’s been barely two generations since the death camps. My grandma, who is still alive, can tell you stories of seeing trains take half her village away. Intergenerational trauma is a real psychological phenomenon. A „hilarious anxiety” is

I have an insatiable appetite for non-fiction - history, geography, politics, etc which I'm fairly certain can be traced back to a series of educational picture books I devoured as a child. Each would survey some broad topic, for examp

I’ve had plenty of productive “water cooler” conversations. Especially with people from other teams, as we don’t interact with each other much. Cross pollinating ideas in a large organisation is conducive to spontaneous creativity. However,

Without knowing the specifics of your data model I'd wager what you have is a data modelling problem not a graph problem. Maybe start with that? There's a reason these graph DBs are esoteric. They're fun & cool to use but

I remember when Google first started getting popular and how much of a leap it was compared to what was the mainstream at the time. Almost overnight the old 'search engines' felt deprecated. I'm getting the same feeling again

Is this worth your time to worry about? Does your startup have solid runway and/or are you profitable? Do you have solid PMF? If the answer is no, and I suspect it is since you're deliberating where to host, then get back to shipp
