Exactly my thought. I read the whole article, did Cmd +F for Jev - and felt uneasy on did the author did any research at all

Wow, that's a huge increase.

Question: What model are you shifting to, from DeepSeek ? Which is the cheaper model, giving comparable performance to DeepSeek ?

Out of course: I had thought about reading an article about Iran war or some geo political news when I read fzakaria :-)

'Not to Claude' is a great slogan for 2026; let's see if it survives 2028

Same here! I also don't want "the facts to come in the way of a good story", and want to believe B is BEAM.

I was thinking exactly the same. Maybe someone who understands these terms and deal better shine light on why would Microsoft agree to this

I never knew that js-joda existed. I love Joda library.

Its surprising that date / time parsing is screwed in multiple languages

Another way to look at it: Maybe this is the way to prevent those layoffs hitting you :-)

Can you explain why is Yaml cancerous (Genuine question)

I have always preferred (even without thinking) to use configuration files as Yaml and kept Json for interprocess communication

The fool didn't knew it was impossible. So he did it

( I don't know who said it, but if forced, I will say Albert Einstein or Mark Twain :-) )

Haha, true

Finally, an interface that matches our enterprise COBOL codebase, perfect for Y2K-compliant enterprises of 1999 :-)

There was an article from Uber on why they shifted from Postgres to Mysql: https://www.uber.com/en-IN/blog/postgres-to-mysql-migration/

I don't know how much of that article points are still valid.

The other part in favor of mysql (in my opinion) are that there are lots of companies that use mysql in production - so the access patterns, and its quirks are very well defined Companies like Square, YouTube, Meta, Pinterest, now Uber all use mysql. From blind, Stripe was also thinking of moving all its fleet from Mongo to mysql

Perception wise, it looks like companies needing internet scale data are using mysql

Out of curiosity: Why not mysql? I am also surprised that no one has even mentioned mysql in any of the comments so far -- so looks like the verdict is very clear on that one

PS: I am also a fan of Postgres, and we are using that for our startup. But I don't know the answer if someone asks me, why not Mysql. Hence asking
