Episode notes

This chapter explores the evolution and maintenance of software tools like BoltDB and SQLite, discussing the challenges of burnout and the importance of simplicity in software development. The speakers delve into the benefits of using multiple databases in projects, the significance of choosing the right database, and the need for clear user-focused design. Additionally, they share insights on programming languages and strategies for simplifying code to enhance user experience.

Database aficionado, Ben Johnson, joins Jerod to answer the age ol’ question: which database should you use? Answering that isn’t always easy, which means it’s time to play the “It Depends” jingle & weigh (some of) the options.
