You can do it, but if you stuff that process up (e.g. touch the wrong tables/schemas) you’re now dealing with a more complex recovery. Also are you applying migrations with CREATE …

While I love postgres, I take issue with coupling too much application logic to the DB. It’s much easier to update/rollback stateless containers/cloud functions/VMs than to recover…

I agree that it seems very improbable. The only possible malicious scenario I can imagine is that the Github repo is clean, but npm creds have been compromised.

It's so hard to triage this when no justification has been provided for the advisory. Was the GHSA released in response to npm pulling the package, or vice versa? Many suggestions …

I also like the term Resume Driven Development (RDD) to describe this. Choose whichever technologies improve the developers resume the most.

Spot in with the automation! Too often people rush to build a new system without thinking first about the systems and processes that already exist.

The life span of the inverter also needs to be considered

Counter to that though, re-inventing the wheel is a great learning exercise.

People seem to equate wealth with materialism, but think of some of things having money allows you to do: - Donate to causes you care about + get access to influential people to fu…

Even the time people don't want this year to last any longer than it has to
