Thank you for your perspective. AI seems to be clouding our vision, but other things, some unexpected like SQLite, are revolutionizing the landscape.

1) lol I am getting old. In the past, we had to deal with resource constrained computers, not enough storage space etc. Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping (EMACS) jokes. Then computers got more resources. We coded in easy abundance. Then phones came in and they had constrained resources... in 2025 not anymore. Feel free to use my storage space, this Samsung A38 has enough if we are not talking about hour-long videos.

2) this is amazing! In a 22yo ERP career one of issues was what if I cannot actually establish a single source of truth, what if users keep modifying customers records in two different systems, databases, how do I synch them? I want to forbid users from doing so but managers sometimes say now. So there is math that can fix this?

"Most developers, when thinking about what database to use, think about MySQL/Postgres (relational) or Mongo/Dynamo (NoSQL)."

LOL man we are living in so different worlds. It is Microsoft T-SQL, SQL Hana or Oracle for me, because I start not from zero but customizing their software that runs only on that DB. Because their software already solved 90% of the problem... not starting from scratch.
