About a year ago the whole situation changed and Microsoft started to push everyone to their own Data Engineering solution (Fabric) that back then was really half-baked.
That's sad! Simplenote is a really useful and quick note taking app that's minimal but not missing anything for this kind of app. It's like notational velocity but done in a clean way, and synchronizing across devices. For me it was really enough for many years.
PS. And there is this surprise when you discover that all notes are versioned.
Creating a simple application that had a database backend, data presentation gui and some simple CRUD logic took like 15-30 mins. All from scratch. How does it compare to today’s tools? And I am not talking about taking some ready off the shelf solution that you don’t really understand internally…
Those were good times and I really regret all those mishaps that happened to this great ecosystem and its eventual collapse :(
It probably starts with the habit of writing words without using the Shift key or diacritics. Just to be quick. At least, that’s how I’ve noticed this behavior in myself.
There are also some medieval reenactment groups who do some real battles (with rules of course) and that is totally about fighting with each other. Something like a fight club but set in medieval context.
Couldn’t disagree more… if you go the ZMQ you are left alone handling many things you get in Kafka for free. If you have any sort of big data problems then good luck. You are going to reinvent the wheel.
