I’m starting back on the CFP bandwagon. Concept: Postgres connectors and js.

I make a healthcare platform. Despite best efforts, we’ve ended up with 3 different connectors for Postgres.

Why? Streaming, dynamic tables, types, performance.

Having now used Prisma for a few years, I continue to not know who it's for.

If you have a very simple app with tiny CRUD - it's an overly complex abstraction.

If you have a complex site, you spend so much time doing `$executeRaw()` as the regular queries can be insanely inperformant.

Taking a break from my journey in the 🐘's data labyrinth to edit a few more photos from Samhain.

I super appreciate being invited by the Summer Queen to atternd (and slink into the afterparty).

I can see why every 2nd London tech person has told me they're moving to Edinburgh.

The final edits for @reactnativelondon.co.uk are here! It was a blast to take a day off tech and do something creative.

Vibes for the conference were excellent and I hope to catch more talks next time.

Tag your friends if you spot them!

Did you know fly.io Postgres instances max out at 500GB? Neither did we.

If you want the visage of stress across medical data ask me tomorrow at @reactnativelondon.co.uk

It reminds me of my first startup where I migrated data from a sick MySQL DB to a Postgres instance w/o annihilating prod.

Last minute lighting experiments before @reactnativelondon.co.uk tomorrow.

I don't really know what I'm doing - but who does‽ Come get your photo taken and printed (machine spirit willing) at the Asgard photobooth.

I'll likely set up in between 11 and 12.
