Supabase is really such a dream. It’s obviously early days yet for them, but I love working with the little subset that I picked — it really goes a long way to making Postgres easy. I wonder how accessible it is to newcomers though - feels more useful for the “I’ve used postgres before and am doing a side project” crowd (eg me) versus the Firebase audience of “hello I want something called back end plz”

I always wonder where the “hello I want something called back end plz” crowd come from (is it coding bootcamps?). Backend is so much easier than frontend, an so many problems and complexities can be avoided by putting things in the backend.

When I joined my company, there were a couple of junior devs on my who had barely touched the backend, and never used SQL (because we used to be on firebase). They were up, running ans productive with both in under 2 weeks.
