I’m starting back on the CFP bandwagon. Concept: Postgres connectors and js. I make a healthcare platform. Despite best efforts, we’ve ended up with 3 different connectors for Postgres. Why? Streaming, dynamic tables, types, performance. Know more about js+Postgres tradeoffs than ever wanted to.

But for real pg is the og, prisma is well - 50 queries per page load even with batching, but Postgres.js is the package that brings good wine to the afters. It’s the only package I support financially on GitHub dot com.

Having now used Prisma for a few years, I continue to not know who it's for. If you have a very simple app with tiny CRUD - it's an overly complex abstraction. If you have a complex site, you spend so much time doing `$executeRaw()` as the regular queries can be insanely inperformant.

Taking a break from my journey in the 🐘's data labyrinth to edit a few more photos from Samhain. I super appreciate being invited by the Summer Queen to atternd (and slink into the afterparty). I can see why every 2nd London tech person has told me they're moving to Edinburgh.

Summer goes real hard compared to my race to normalize data before fly.io strangles us all. Friends don't let friends choose fly. The amount of clients who said "your x is broken" when really fly.io had some documented or undocumented outage would cumulate to double digits.

First, we normalize the database, then: we denormalize the database. However, following that, it appeared prudent to normalize the database. Upon recent consideration, it may... Yes, the elephant is with me in the room right now. 🐘

Last minute lighting experiments before @reactnativelondon.co.uk tomorrow. I don't really know what I'm doing - but who does‽ Come get your photo taken and printed (machine spirit willing) at the Asgard photobooth. I'll likely set up in between 11 and 12.

You are up to date.
