Databases are Fucking Stupid
I’ve been trying to do some database programming and goddamnit do databases make my life difficult. I’m using PostgreSQL but it doesn’t really matter what you use. Let me get the most minor complaint out of the way: Why do I have to talk to databases using text?
Every time that I want to store a value in a database I have to convert it to a string and the database has to convert it back from a string. This is slow, lossy, leads to bugs (SQL injection) and is completely unnecessary. But I can accept that bit of stupidity.
My bigger issue is that databases don’t know how to do their job.
