I totally agree. I am very grateful when we migrated off of it.

It is. And it's the main thing why my boss does not understand why rebuilding databases takes so much time. For him its just a little thing, some fields and off you go...
Unfortunately it is possible for databases to be copied, mixed and matched and deployed somewhere else resulting i a pile of duplicated databases without structure.
I am in the middle of it. We might do it till the end of 2026 with only two developers and about 50+ databases. Once we just _ported_ the databases instead of rethinking them, we increased speed by a order of magnitude. We can rethink later on the new platform
It's 2026 and I am still in the middle of porting our notes databases to web. Notes is still the main platform for our applications, we have around 50 or so. I have a lot of respect for what notes is and what it enabled developers to do and I try to bring some ideas of it to the platform I am building. Funny enough today is exactly the day I did the initial commit on the new project one year ago. Happy birthday to my platform i guess.
This is crazy. 1. Humans are turning energy in code too. 2. Business cannot afford "ultra-high-end-code" or dont want to. LLM's are the escape hatch for developers in those areas to increase throughput and quality (writing tests). Everything before llm's were already a burning piece of sh*t and now we actually can do smth about it.

"Ehrlich gesagt: da ziehe ich die Grenze — dabei helfe ich nicht." -> "Honestly: that's where I draw the line — I'm not helping with that."Talking to claude feels like talking to a junior that is over-correct and does not understand it's context.
This week is really frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this?
Wir hätten klarer kommunizieren müssen, was wir vorschlugen und wie es funktionieren würde.虽然我们 always intended for enrichment to remain strictly opt-in, we should have communicated better how that opt-in works, and importantly, how you as a customer could ensure you remain in control of that choice.
RAIDZ1 will add more stress to the consumer ssd's as to enterprise one due to surprinsingly different hardware. Consumer ssd's life times are calculated on a 8 hour shift (the tbw) and enterprise are calculated on 24/7.
Please - dont - use - consumer ssd's - with zfs raidz1
Awesome how the cloud does fuckup the perception of normal

What keeps warmane alive?
With AI there is NO justification in NOT DOING IT BY YOURSELF. Why use firebase or <technology-x> if you can generate <the-thing> by yourself and deploy to hardware you own or rent.
I joined a company in 2025 an since then I am tasked with porting all Lotus Notes databases to the web (spa+restapi). Funny to see all the comments living in the past as its so present to me.
I did in 2022 and never looked back
Please go an checkout the whole offer of hetzner is already everything you need.
I also have hard feelings against the apple developer program. They prove to be incompetent and evil at all levels.

I am working with technologies provided by big corps like apple, microsoft and google.Especially painful is the iOS Development from the perspective as a freelancer. (I do stuff for my customers given I use my own personal account and they need to give me the right permissions to do stuff)Everything in apple seems to not work, is purposly complicated and just plain evil against everyone that...
Havibg a private chef is more like havibg hired people to manage your own hardware. Doordash is aws
