DHH discusses SQLite (and Stoicism) 

Woah, it's shocking how much Twitter can skew reality. People love to hate on DHH there, but I found this entire conversation so damn inspirational! Thank you both for sharing your insights. I'm super grateful and gained a new perspective on what it means to be a developer.

DHH is one of those people who starts with these takes that seem super out there and then society just converges on them over time. I bet he bough nvidia stock a decade ago

I love the idea that one person should be able to build, deploy, and support a complete web site.

"We cannot give up on the internet being something that individual developers can build for and be competitive on." - DHH Such a powerful point and one that resonates so much having watched 'www' go from a curiosity on my NeXT box to what we all use today.

Joe: "Oh so you run a blog, whats with the 20 guys behind you?" Bob: "DevOps team"

DHH is slowly becoming my virtual mentor. That bit about stoicism was great. Amazing interview, thank you Aaron!

Aaron, you have the perfect attitude towards things to make new people be interested in an older language like PHP, Laravel and all the stuff around that. Your combination of general lightness and genuine interest in these things works really well. You are probably making a significant difference in changing some of the negative reputation of the language, keep it up!

Love how exited DHH gets whenever he talks about tech!

Great interview Aaron, thank you! You are a great communicator, seriously. Interesting questions, you never intererrupt and you are legit interested. Keep up the great work and I am looking forwards to that SQLite course!

Hearing DHH's takes and views on thing is always a delight.

Great content Aaron and David, thanks! I really agree with David on complexity. I've been a one man team since my teens, and I've learnt quite a few times that complexity(and dependencies) are both a huge risk. Less complexity and dependencies makes it so much easier to come back to something you wrote 10 years ago that is now in need of a small update.

What a wonderful interview Aaron! Thanks a lot 🎉

Love when a conversation like this gives me dozens of new ideas & things to try out. This interview is such a breath of fresh air when compared to the engagement-oriented needless drama that goes on in Twitter. Thank you both!

sqlite can also be used a in-memory open-source replacement for redis using the following command: sqlite3 /dev/shm/database.db 😄

Wonderful interview! I absolutely love how DHH is passionate about stuff, such a unique character. Thanks

Hell yeah! What a fantastic get Aaron. What a great confirmation that you’re doing great stuff.

Love this interview and DHH has the exact right mind set. Fighting complexity ❤ Looking forward to the SQLite course!

First? 🎉 On a serious note ... markdown for blog/article type projects and sqlite for more complex use-cases where u need relational data ... love the simplicity 😊

Main takeaway from this video "Linux, it just works" - DHH

Amazing discussion and so many great insights !

What a great conversation! Such good vibes and so much positivity. It's amazing what you can do with tools nowadays that 10 or 20 years ago would have been considered crazy. His comments around reducing complexity resonated with me so much. After 2 years of JS/Typescript/Feathers/React dev and getting back to PHP now, I'm having so much fun again! I've taken an ultra minimalist approach with my current PHP project and I'm getting so much done! SQLite is such an interesting option because there's so few moving parts. In the interest of simplicity and getting things done, it's looking like a really good option. I also love what he said about customers not caring about the underlying tech. As long you're adding value and customers are having a great experience, it's going to make zero difference to them what you use underneath. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing another great video!

So that was a joy. I'm also realising that some other "influencers" have influenced my perception of DHH.

I've kinda known of DHH since a long time but now for the first time watching him speak. he has a very passionate and charming personality. Aaron is great host ofc.

Great conversation, loved to hear it

What a wonderful interview, really. Hard to beat this genuine content.

I am a regulare DHH blog reader, seing you two in the same place just made a lot of sense. A lot of practical value here, great talk DHH!

SQLite is amazing. We use it within our container for holding a couple of large mostly static datasets… when running at full speed it’s handling millions of read and writes per minute.

DHH is a great guy Thanks for the interview!

Love this! Great conversation.

Loved this interview

Fantastic interview. Can feel the passion. Wish everyone could have the opportunity to do a work stint with persons like this.

What a awesome talk!

That was a great interview!

Love SQLite. Great talk

Great interview, Aron

although I'm a Typescript fanboy, I cannot deny that this podcast was very nice to watch. This guys is so interesting.

Very good interview, thanks from Ethiopia.

Great interview

What an inspiration. I was not aware that this approach has a name Negative Visualization, but that's what I am doing all the time.

Aaron is the best. He needs more exposure and subscribers

Thanks for the video!

always bet on simplicity 🔥

LibSQL is for another case, and now they have native extension for PHP and also for Driver for Laravel!

31:02 "PHP" 😁 Bring it back! Ah, the nostalgia...

Great talk!

Great video

Hey Aaron, awsome interview. I really enjoyed it and i personally like DHH a lot. The dude's got what a lot of devs are missing IMO: a bit of common sense, heh. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration!! Cheers!!

Watched it on your site and dhh was on the right side of the screen! Technology!

Nice interview with Cbum 😂❤

Wow! That's cool!🤘

35:00 This should be the mindset of anyone not only programmers. You shoud be capable of doing anything alone. Gain enough knowledge.

wow, can't believe this interview is happening.

Which awesome Sony camera is DHH using? 📸

i need this on apple podcasts

Key moment - 17:48 DHH makes a powerful point: big tech companies and their architecture cannot become a dependency of individual Web developers.

You would have explained all of that in 50 secs and make it fun. Thank you for your great content, is really inspiring.

Pocketbase been awesome for me, which is SQLite

This was a great interview!! Thanks!! Love DHH but still disagree with him on typescript LOL

Weird timing. Working on a little side project for myself and was going to use SQLite to keep track of sessions in my app.

Wait what are the better sqlite defaults? Need these settings. Anyone read through the rails docs/source to get these better ones?

That Sony Camera with Linux support is this? Asking for a friend

DHH MENTIONED

Everything he says is common sense. I have no idea why he gets hate. So glad I found out about the Rails community and this amazing methodology towards development and business

Hi Aaron, if you run Sqlite in prod, how do you inspect the db?

Really nice podcast. I love sqlite really want to see laravel use sqlite as queue driver. I have used sqlite as queue driver as separate database just queue jobs with laravel 7 but the issue i faced it lock sqlite file if number of jobs are high same thing happen with when used mysql as queue driver jobs table was locked and don't know how to unlock that table. Loved to see sqlite as cache

I don't see how postgres would be worse deployed locally but I could see how the massively vaster features would be better.

Timestamp for Stoicism?

He can save us

One piece of feedback: I would've loved an introduction of the guest and what they are known for. I don't know who he is or what he has done. He frequently refers to projects/companies that haven't been introduced to the listener, which was honestly a little frustrating. Practically this means that I don't know what perspective to put those statements in.

Someone please add timestamps

I'm a bit confused, which part was about stoicism?

Sneaks off to get Campfire...

There's an incorrect assumption that SQLite can't horizontally scale. Go see Turso or RQLite!

This DHH guy is cool

DHH gives me Keanu Reeves vibes of tech😂

the amount of a fan i am of dhh almost makes me feel ashamed. but, eh, i'm ok with that. i'm currently rewriting a huge lab test and order entry system that's half rails half php. with one other guy. and it's going well. and it's actually fun :)

Theo demonstrated the performance issues with Hey, including substantial lags (using gigabit fiber) and a lack of debounce. It would be interesting to see him defend or at least reflect on the engineering choices that led to that flawed UX. DHH has seemed pretty dogmatic about not using reactive clients on Xitter (formerly known as Tw), so I wonder if he would even acknowledge the UX issues with Hey.

next with the Laravel Creator

Browsers 😅 16:56

There's a fair bit of assumed knowledge here in knowing who "DHH" is. I have no idea. Never seen him or heard of him. Maybe link to his social media or something?

Fix the damn data types. It's such an artful experience 🤭

If only SQLite had encryption

All these people realizing that what they have been told about DHH is not the reality and he actually just cares about simplicity. I wonder how many of them still believe what they heard about Ruby.

Second

This guy is like if George Hotz and Jonathan Blow had a baby

Aaron are you running a sort of AI camera?

I measure your competency by the frequency of "like" in your verbal expression. DHH expresses himself eloquently and elegantly. His "like" count is 0.

Your website have been blocked by my isp for "harmful content". Whats up with that?

Sorry but you're handsome dude

Vids on php and now DHH? Man, Aaron really making controversial content these days

He sounds so much like Jordan Peterson. Both in his voice actually sounding like him, but because they're both so Stoic.

Ah! The christian software. It's real good.

If DHH took steroids, he'd look like Schwarzenegger

21:27 > Opensource rests on three dudes and that is somehow terrible - no, it's amazing, we are so lucky! Except when one to three core contributors die or burn out, and there is no one with a history of contributions to this project to take the flag - only some shady dude working for three letter agency of some unnamed country. Cornerstones of the modern internet and businesses worldwide should not depend on luck. They should have redundancies and support from other projects to take a burden if needed.

Skype used SQLite. WTF is DHH on about. Machines had a lot less cores and some were used for relatively new video streaming with Skype.

Great interview, Aron
