I changed databases again (please learn from my mistakes)

The good thing with having ADHD as a youtubeur is that you can come up with fresh content every week because some new tool triggered your dopamine stimulus.

You changed databases so many times that I thought I already watched this video before

There are two types of engineers, those who have broken prod and those who dont get anything done

8:44 love the commit message. Aged like wine

It all seems quite short-sighted. He keeps encountering a problem, looking for the immediate solution with the best developer experience, then using that until the next problem happens. He's always chasing the immediate problem, doing just enough work to get it done, then needing to rewrite it again. It would benefit him to slow down, stop for a moment, and actually think about what he wants. "Put a gzipped JSON blob in redis" and "have the client be a middleman between the data and the DB" are so obviously flawed if you think just one step ahead. This is a chaotic sprint towards a working application, not a careful or considered approach to engineering something stable.

bro doesnt fear overengineering overengineering fears him

Theo switching databases soon because it's too expensive 👀

"I did not expect users to...." lmao famous last words

53:38 Begins with B and ends with rave was wild 😭😭😭😭😭

Sometimes just writing it from scratch and using simple tools and libraries is much more effective than trying to figure out what framework js best and how to get somebody elses garbage working with someone elses garbage.
