You know how you can tell that a product is well designed, intutive, and user friendly?

If they have an accompanying e-learning platform with thousands and thousands of videos and even more pages of documentation, of course!

From the people who created SQL, comes something that somehow does pretty much the same thing, but is harder to use and easier to gate features behind paywalls! Fuck yeah!

    I love sql but since it was written to be used by managers and not devs, it's quite a failed product 😂 The idea was "sql is so easy, managers can now get data themselves".

    Maybe managers were smarter back in the day. Still, there are a lot of people who actually did make great stuff in ms access. So sql was once kinda common knowledge for non nerds?

    @retoor I've only met two non-developers ever who could use SQL, and they were reliant on a point and click gui deal that never made sense to me. SQL is also easy enough to learn pretty quickly, imo, but I've seen more than a few developers freak out and be scared of it. I hadn't considered that being the point of this though, you're probably right on target.

    @nosoup4u yes, many devs are scared for sql. A lot even consider it non doable and require orm. So weird.

    It's not that SQL is difficult so I need to use an ORM, it's that SQL fucking sucks so bad that a runtime library that doesn't implement all of the features and borrows the syntax of a less insane programming language is better.

    I love Diesel. I think the ideal solution to the problem that's SQL is a very elaborate query builder.
