Agreed. I prefer Postgres for personal projects, but MySQL is a fine database. Honestly, even a relational DB I wouldn't want to use again (DB2...) is still pretty solid to me. The relational model is pretty damn neat and SQL is a pretty solid query language.
I wonder how many people disagree with that last part in particular...
It’s actually the core of all dev that involves any data storage, today. HN is both aspirational in tech and has a younger demographic so you won’t get any points here for mentioning anything SQL. Hence the downvotes I’m getting. But hey, it’s all good!!
