It will never, ever stop annoying me that #SQL has "LEFT" and "RIGHT" joins.

These keywords' names are horribly inaccessible for those with Left–right confusion, which is A REAL THING that affects MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

Including, yes, myself.

I wanna do some #SQL in #Rust. Maybe use an #ORM, unless everyone thinks ORMs are dumb.

What crates should I use?

What would Ferris do?

Listening to VC folks talk about "crypto" & "web3" is disheartening. They love critiquing "web2" for being centralized & power hording, not sharing money with content creators etc. At the same time they act oblivious to the fact that exponential growth & 10x return on investment that they themselves are insist on is what leads to that.

Just as #sql did not turn people into greedy ruthless capitalists, #blockchain will not save us from them.
