I might be completely off.<br/><br/>First and foremost, back then, things were a lot more laid-back. Lots of semi-novices making things that went into production.<br/><br/>For a long time, people defaulted to it because it had better usability. The silent type conversions and warnings weren&#39;t considered a bug but a convenience. The tooling was just better (phpMyAdmin unironically was a selling point). Autoincrement was more intuitive. People got started on things like XAMPP, which packaged MySQL, so there was a lot of inertia as well, which led to all the introductory guides and (heaven forbid) tutorials focusing on it.<br/><br/>The PostgreSQL replication story was simply non-existent. PostgreSQL generally had this irrational feeling of being a &#34;big, clunky database&#34;. The elephant logo probably didn&#39;t help that perception. The role system seemed bizarre and counter-intuitive (seriously, &#34;login role&#34;?). You still had to pg_dump across major releases for a long time.<br/><br/>We all know that today the correct answer is Azure SQL Database and not running your own database at all, but hindsight is 20:20, plus the kind of SaaS cloud environment just kinda didn&#39;t exist back then. 2025-07-26T14:50:57+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstyref727qglwqhag2w5zna3y25ss7fg2n6uexlmujxg5qvegg3mqzypagu4clz3l9splxdv0x4hh9vfuaxhwtn2ezkygqrxeq6yvkuap22y80vww Password manager&#39;s password generator puts `&lt;` in my password.<br/><br/>Web application firewall rejects the request as malicious.<br/><br/>God forbid somebody use special characters in a password that aren&#39;t `!?+`. 2025-05-18T09:40:51+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstnn6kadej9m6wczfz4gxqjk80le3ky74nhs9maxv5ejpxy7r5wsgzypagu4clz3l9splxdv0x4hh9vfuaxhwtn2ezkygqrxeq6yvkuap22th2at2 Dual_EC_DRBG unironically got people to distrust elliptic curve cryptography wholesale and I think that&#39;s hilarious. 2025-01-12T10:43:43+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz86a3tuyja87nmldmts47navwzm5u6ume4f322zezt4kpg7pjj6szypagu4clz3l9splxdv0x4hh9vfuaxhwtn2ezkygqrxeq6yvkuap22eu8fjp Starting to think some of y&#39;all might not be ok 2024-12-29T20:20:32+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfuf2q596sexjjcsuvmut5x7pfg3htz73sz3w6r4d509lzeg4zgcqzypagu4clz3l9splxdv0x4hh9vfuaxhwtn2ezkygqrxeq6yvkuap22zadtcs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxg5w4d2snmm242gtsluehp5d5t83quxncr688ctk6yp46vy4z3xg0cavut'>nevent1q…avut</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Imagine if there was a system for sorting and searching.
