threepointone · x · 2026-11-13
Developer threepointone revisits Hillel Wayne's classic thread on database choices, arguing the switching-cost constraint may no longer exist now that AI drives it toward zero. Wayne's original point: if your data isn't relational, YAGNI says use NoSQL — but watch for small client "requirement perturbations" that can wreck the design. A blog post is forthcoming.
