Professional programmer old fag here. There's a shift happening in online storage, because of high availability (i.e. distributed file storage like Amazon's S3 object storage).

What this means essentially is that a SQL database like postgres or whatever isn't always the best fit anymore and projects like NATS.io replace them (while also taking care of the messaging between applications)

This is a natural progression of splitting up giant applications into smaller services which have to be available in different regions.

I'm a hardcore postgres junkie, writing SQL makes me happy, organizing epic joins and stuff is a dream for autists like you and me. Which is why this is quite a significant change for me, and I hope I'll find pleasure in it.

If you work at some giant enterprise company you probably won't have to deal with this for a long time still, but this is what's coming down the pipeline.

dang you really stuck it to me buddy.
Enjoy ormalizing all your jay SON messages into your little tables, serializing and deserializing them forever instead of just storing the entire event?

I’m a network engineer with all of those skills and it doesn’t matter. Make friends with the right people in the right places.

I’ve had lots of success learning power BI, I think it can take over excel in many ways if corporations build around it.

Can you explain further? I’m a scrub, but would love to learn, and would rather learn what’s actually useful.

delusional people like him just kept undermining businesses operation since the early 00s with their bloat technology (ruby like dead languages, frameworks, js bloat, microservices, etc)

As some one who works for one of said large companies. They move at half the speed of smell when it comes to shit like that, and vendors move even fucking slower. I wont say which sector i work in, but there is a particular vendor who we have been asking when they are going to adpot using HTML5 inplace of fucking FLASH for, i shit you not, over 10 years now.

Sure its coming, but its coming at the speed of 2 old people fucking.

This. The only time I used sql in past 4 years was when I needed to export data to no-sql database. Programmers rarely use sql nowadays. But BIs are using it on low-code BI platforms.

SQL is one of those things if you wanna learn, you should like really really learn a lot, because basic level SQL knowledge is not that big of a deal, but if you know how to properly handle data types, and how to actually make a DB effective? Thats valuable.
