For general linguistics: "The Unfolding of Language" by Guy Deutscher.

Replace "main advantage" with "one major advantage" and I'll 100% agree!

This point is addressed in the article:

You've then successfully ported your code base from one language for which it's really difficult to find programmers to another language for which it's really difficult to to find programmers.

While I'm very sympathetic to "we accidentally nuked our prod DB" because, let's admit it: we've all been there at some point, I'm also a bit baffled here because I don't think that the problem lies with too much wine, Postgres permissions or scripts on localhosts but the fact that recreating a database by FIRST dropping all tables and THEN recreating them is like deliberately inviting those gremlins in.

But, as I said, that happens and blaming doesn't fix anything, so, for the future:

1. make a temporary backup of your database 2. create tables with new data 3. drop old tables
