SQL is good actually. Using your database system to define your data model along with all of its constraints is much better than just scribbling out some Rust/TypeScript/Go datatypes and shitting them out into a schema with a new database migration every fucking commit.

Your SQL application does not need to be portable. You don't need an over-engineered rube-goldberg solution where you can slot out OracleDB for SQLite for fucking CSV documents. Your code SHOULD be ANSI/ISO standard, but it just needs to run on PostgreSQL. PostgeSQL is portable.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
