Absolute madman Should have gone for the "do whatever the fuck you want" license though

i went to berkeley so i have a soft spot for BSD (even though BSD0 technically isn't derived from BSD)

Your lack of professional seriousness is truly astounding. One of the primary reasons we've gone with React/NextJS coupled with MongoDB and Kubernetes over HTMX

That's a great option, many people choose it!

Talks about lack of professional seriousness. Goes with MongoDB. Sometimes reality writes the best jokes.

What’s wrong with mongodb?

I can't speak to its current state, but there were some highly dubious design decisions early in its life, such as the library would reply to the client indicating a successful push of data into the database before the network request even left the local computer.

Mongodb was/is for a long time inconsistent. You had to worry loosing data when using mongo.

I hadn't seen Zero-Clause BSD before: https://opensource.org/license/0bsd/

> Note: Despite its name, Zero-Clause BSD is an alteration of the ISC license, and is not textually derived from licenses in the BSD family. Zero-Clause BSD was originally approved under the name “Free Public License 1.0.0”.

Anyone seen a good write-up of the tradeoffs for this license? I like how short and simple it is.

"Don't ask me about it License" looks a bit shorter[0].

Everyone who does even a smidgen of memeing on the internet knows what happens when you post images of large spiders.

The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already cancelled.

The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a shiposter is supposed to function: without mercy, without anxiety, without remorse.

All shiposting depends upon it.
