The Easiest Postgres Experience You've Ever Seen
2 years ago | Postgres
A few months ago my friend Craig Kerstiens decided to see what's possible with Web Assembly, the thing that runs Code That's Not JavaScript in the browser. If you're a Microsoft dev, you might have heard of Blazor, which compiles C# code to Web Assembly which then gets handed to the browser to run in-process.
It turns out that people are taking Web Assembly pretty seriously, including Adobe, which compiled PhotoShop and Acrobat to Web Assembly so you could run it in the browser!
Love the image of the elephant... which reminds me... this post is mostly about Postgres, so let's get back to Craig's story...

There are a lot of opinions about AI, whether it helps or hinders our coding process and our team in general. Many are concerned that junior devs will be the ones impacted the most.
Following Your Imagination
I learned to play ice hockey when I was 11 and, as a kid from Southern California, it wasn't easy. I learned how to skate and how to play the game at the same time, all while going through a massive growth spurt. My sister once called me a "baby giraffe on a frozen lake". Nice.
It wasn't what you said, but how you said it
I make videos for a living and I swear: each one is an adventure. You would think I would have a system down by now but, as it turns out, each video is a unique thing that demands it's own type of story telling.
