Maybe you're missing the context (it's a chain of replies)? I never said PostgreSQL was bad or that people shouldn't use it.

The original comment I was responding to inferred that "every web developer" was now using PostgreSQL and that part is definitely due to the "hype" - whether social media, youtube or blogs, etc. Well there's also the who's providing a "free" database...

> People have been using PostgreSQL for decades for web stuff.

Sure, but not "every" so much so that it should hurt MySQL / MariaDB at all.

> That's obviously stupid.

That's the point. There are influencers and hypers going around and responding PostgreSQL like an an auto answering machine and then many that just believe it.

No one used to word "every'. It merely stated that "more" web dev stuff uses PostgreSQL, which is not the same as "every" at all. You "inferred" that word from your negativity, cynicism, and some sort of psychological need to spread your toxic bile.

Merely?

Here, quote: "It must be tough for the business, as more and more"... that sounds like an alarming trend?

How do you get to merely? If it's merely it won't be tough for businesses?

Now we're down to personal attacks? And where did you infer your drama from? Right, the pot calls the kettle black.
