The PHP thing is believable, I'm just still stuck on scala vs python based on my observations from working in the industry and being part of the hiring process for both of these languages. Perhaps it's because I work in B2B SAAS where these products aren't always necessarily exposed to the public internet.

I wonder where this graph gets it's data from. Scala sitting at 4.6 percent and python at 1.2 percent is not what I would expect, but my perception of the industry could be totally off.

What a throwback! I discovered these as a kid in the early days of the web. I remember the perl being a little too obtuse to grok as a preteen, but I figured out where I could change things at certain parts of the code to make things look a little differently. Those were magical years that inspired me to get into coding and problem solving as an adult. Thanks Matt.

Depends on the scale of users you expect for your project. Generally I like to keep oltp and olap tools in their lanes, but if < 100 people are going to be using it probably doesn't matter. I doubt duckdb has any sort of acid guarantees, so thats something to keep in mind.

Well, I was 13 and trying to learn html by piecing things together from "view source" and seeing what other people were doing on their page. We didn't have the benefit of stack overflow or what anyone today would consider a reasonable search engine. The dopamine rush was unimaginable at first, but quickly faded as i got pretty bored of static html. Once I found perl and cgi-bin, the dopamine was back, rinse and repeat over and over again for the last 25ish years. Those early years of the web were pretty magical for me and initiated a life long fascination of technology and problem solving.

I always wondered why snowflake doesn't just install a control plane on customers own cloud resources a la databricks. Seems like they'd be able to mitigate a lot of liability that way.

The wall of sound sounds way more fascinating imho.

> the vendor gleefully assured us that they were experienced with "migrations of this scale"

Sales is mostly just lying to collect a commission check.
