    For some reason I couldn't remember how to say Postgres and used "Pos-gststs-something" a few times, so I kept it afterwords :)

    I think you can hate a language.. you can hate it because you hate yourself, for the things the language make you do. Coming from a Java background, I used to bang my head on the d…

    Does it mean that until these changes are done, you wont declare RethinkDB to be production ready? (you mentioned at 2.0) Can you guys add a "rough roadmap overview" page to the do…

    I can value the skills of another developer. I can't value "well-connected" or "marketing/sales skills" So if a developer comes to me with an idea, I can evaluate the partnership b…
