Friendly reminder
NoSQL ≠ anti-SQL
NoSQL (2009, Johan Oskarsson & Eric Evans) is about architecture & needs, not the query syntax
It's about scale-out design, multiple writers, no single primary, & predictable growth as you add nodes
New APIs don’t define NoSQL; the distributed system design does

The benevolent dictator model feels tempting for #OSS - faster, fewer debates. Then a PR argument with the single person in charge reminds me:
Speed isn’t health. Community is.
Speed isn’t health. Community is.

Completely agree with this. And I don’t even think it has to be intentional. A tool is for what it does, after all.
I think we need to reframe things and refer to any software that intentionally negatively affects user experience to further some ulterior motive as "malicious software"

Whenever someone shares a performance comparison of programming languages, many folks are surprised to see #Java rank up very high. I think by now it's kinda criminal how underrated Java and the JVM are in circles not familiar with it. This misconception is the biggest challenge for this platform.
