    Came here to find the thread discussing this. You stated what I'd think is the conventional wisdom and I expected this to be the top thread. However, this thinking comes at the cos…

    Great resource, I'd missed a few goodies. https://javascript.info is similarly good in teaching modern Javascript. I wish there was such a resource for modern C++ though. I learned…

    Network latency is not accounted for: they use AWS lambda calling DynamoDB / Redis in the same data center; Fauna endpoint is somewhere else. Curious what Firebase latency would be…
