🍳 The Big Egg Shortage (Australia)

You know what this means. We need startups by Tech Bros who sit and produce eggs.

🥚 Eggs will remain expensive in Australia till 2028

There you go they hit you were it hits the most.
Eggs are the main part of my diet particularly because I either follow keto or lose low carb diet now a days.

🪟 Windows OS

Modern Windows these days seems like slapping lipstick on a pig, whatever features they tack on don't make it any better.

SQLite Hype / Bandwagon

So there is talk about using embedded sqlite in monolith app deployment (especially in smaller apps) as ssd speeds are fast these days.

Digging deeper into this I can see issues.

For example an app cannot create multiple connections to a file, so a single connection will have to be utilised for sqlite, isn't that a draw back & will make the app speed much slower.

A better alternate is to get a cheap virtual machine & install a db on it instead.

Intel - Ultra Core is disappointing.

AMD X3D chips still beat them in most cases:

Go Lang gaining momentum

Based on various analytics resources such as:
1. RedMonk
2. Tiobe
3. Github

it seems like Go is gradually gaining momentum & ending up in Top 10 popular languages.

What do you think is the reason for this?

📕 Do we need REDIS:

So Rails 8 is shifting away from Redis, opting instead for SQLite as a built-in, file-based db for several key features.

Reason being that modern NVMe drives are so fast that SQLite can match Redis's performance for key-based storage; reducing the need for external services, keeping the architecture simple & minimise dependencies.

Deno already has plans to do the same & use SQLite.

We need other frameworks to copy this idea.
