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.

Cool website. Reminds me a lot of the early golden years of the internet

Some young people aren't sure what they want to do with life and school is a reasonable place to figure that out and hopefully pick up some practical skills/networking/life experience along the way.

how does the application pick it up? We use the built in secrets that are injected into the container as env vars and then the application picks it up that way. Not trying to sound combative, just looking for better ways to do things.

Sure, I fail to see how that invalidates my point

do you have any examples of more secure ways of injecting secrets?

sure, It's no doubt an arms race. The prevalance of websites going down due to scaling issues feels like order of magnitude less than it was 20 years ago though. Purely anecdotal with no real data to back that up.

20 years ago if a blog or website ended up on slashdot/digg/whatever there was a good chance it was going down. Scalable websites are a commodity today

Just build some sort of object model and generate all your yaml. Nobody should be handcrafting it
