Angular is actually way more widespread than React but nice snarky comment regardless

That's partially true, but it does seem to find it's way in production on lots of low traffic sites.

The only reason I brought it up is that there is a myth that many developers believe SQLlite is only useful as a dev enviroment database

It's actually commonly used in production for certain types of databases. SQLite is not a replacement for something such as postgresql but it certainly has it's use cases.

Case sensitivity i'm assuming you mean the automatic semi-colon insertion due to a line break after a return statement? I have a hard time seeing this as being a reason to dislike an entire language.

Most languages have features to avoid, JavaScript is no different. Many JavaScript developers use linters to avoid the poor `==` feature. I'm unfamiliar with the argument of the `Map` datastructure implementation being broken. Do you have a reference to that claim?

I'm not talking about what the author wrote, I'm talking about the 500 posts which entire take away was 'mongo is retarded'. Reread what I wrote.

Unfortunately that's not how your article has been interpreted, especially not in the reddit thread which has (predictably) divulged into an incoherent MongoDB hate-fest.

Hastily designed for version 0.0.1, this is simply not the case if you are using modern EMCAScript

You criticize people for _premature optimization_ while in the same breath advocating rolling your own, shitting implementation for page views? Right...

Clearly this is a long game play.

This is typical programmer attitude. Standard estimates go like this:

When trying to make themselves look good on online developer forums: 1/100th real development time

When estimating time involved for co-worker: 1/10th real development time

When estimating time involved for themselves at work: 1/2 real development time

Even more so, an the relative difference of |70% - 50%| / |%50| = 40% is gigantic. A very misleading statement.

Very true. The fact is, even very intelligent people tend to stick with ideas that were popular as they 'grew' into their position.

Programming is young, but if you look at the history of more developed fields such as physics and mathematics, there is a very long history of extremely respected scientists out right rejecting new theories for being outlandish and ridiculous that we now accept as the bedrock of scientific theory.

The truth is, just as with physics and mathematics, in computer science new ideas do form, but older generations rarely adapt, and it's only with death of the old, and the growth of a new generation do ideas become accepted.

It was a great talk and his high-energy delivery I think is a well welcomed change of pace compared to many tech conference speakers
