I'm now almost through migrating PG to MySQL with Stored Procedures only. Ended up with 140 Stored Procedures. The insights I gained into the business domain are incredible.

Now there are some bigger challenges:

How to test an API that literally has hundreds of different endpoints + parameter combinations against the new version
How to transfer data of a 100GB+ sized PG to MySQL in a timely manner so that downtime is reduced to < 15 minutes.
Or even more challenging: how to transfer 60 PG tables to MySQL with a "slightly" optimised schema and a buggy pg_dump exporter, that wrongly decodes JSON values into unreadable data (bug filed 2015, maintainers not interested)? Or a buggy PG_MySQL Foreign Data Wrapper that fails with Boolean and JSON columns (bug filed in 2020, maintainers not interested)?

I've tried 10 different tools that advertise themself as a solution to this and not a single one was able to overcome these challenges (issues with JSON, Timestamp and Boolean columns). Any hints?

So if "interoperability" is a goal of the SQL standard, it clearly failed. If "interoperability" is a benchmark for open source databases, Postgres doesn't shine at all. All the features that make Postgres "so good" (like ARRAYs which are unknown to every other SQL database, BOOLs and Custom Types) are in fact locking your project in like forever.

However, I'm not the one who gives up easily. I'll likely end up with a hand-rolled migration tool and then sell it to make a fortune off it, for all those non-existing devs who want to migrate away from Postgres. ​

I've been with my wife for over 20 years. Marrying her was the best decision of my life.

Marriage is trust. It is the reflection of a belief of the permanence of the union.

You are the one who distrusts. You believe that one day your girlfriend will change her mind. You similarly are unwilling to commit, because you distrust your own decisions.

If you trust, there is no reason to not get married.

There is no higher spiritual union than a monogamous relationship. When it fails, it's because one or both parties were unwilling to give themselves to the union.

If a person cannot even care for one other person unconditionally, if they can't demonstrate commitment and loyally, how can they be trusted?

And being intimately involved with another through the good and the bad, and to rear children with them, is an excellent way to understand one's self and what it means to be human.

I'm tired of kids who are wet behind the ears telling me about marriage. They're just coping with the fact that they're generally insufferable people who are unable to form any meaningful relationships. They think they know everything about humanity and society and its ills and what it takes to save it, but can't even commit to one other person. Smfh.

If you stray beyond the narrow bounds of approved discourse, two consequences will be familiar. The first is that it becomes harder to get a hearing about anything. The second is that if you do manage to say anything it will be taken as proof that you have not been silenced.

This is the logic of witch-ducking. If a woman drowns, she isn’t a witch; if she floats, she is, and must be dispatched some other way. Either way, she ends up dead.

@mushroom_soup I’ve kept doves, they’re very sweet and gentle hearted. Much akin to rats in that their role as this thing considered disease derives from human beings refusing to live in harmony with nature, and instead living in degenerate ways that actively spit in the face of nature.
