Guess which schools they're closing?
The option schools, the K-8 schools, and other specialized schools like gifted ed / STEM focused
In other words, the schools with the most engaged parents

I like Go. I'll never write Java again if I have the option of writing Go.
But I don't love Go's logging ecosystem. I miss log4j real bad. I especially miss package-level logging configured by a properties file.
So I built it.

Trying to buy a used TV on Facebook Marketplace, finding a bunch of posts that are pretty obviously fake accounts fencing stolen goods
Suspiciously low price, bad grammar, curiously terrible photos, account with stock photo created earlier this year

We've been doing this for over 5 years!
Many people don't realize the scope and length of Dolt's journey to a production quality Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) database. Here is a timeline of major milestones in Dolt's history.

Search results for common programming terms are so bad that our blog has been able to win a bunch of common search terms without even trying that hard
"golang stack trace" #1
"golang exec" #2
"mysql trigger example" #2
"golang colors" #3
"mysql procedure example" #5
None of the Google results for the query "python function definition syntax" leads to the official documentation.
Google is unusable.
"Learn to Code" websites are cancer.

Google tracks every metric you can imagine when deciding search rankings, good content does tend to rise to the top
There's just not very much good content, and a whole lot of bad content

By the way we do this because every time we demonstrate to google that our domain has good content (as proven by click and analytics metrics) it boosts our domain globally
So our business-related search terms do better as well
"version controlled database" is a #2 term for us

Looking at NeonDB's series B announcement in which they claim "Postgres is the winner" of the database world, with a link to DbEngine's ranking charts
Postgres is in 4th place on that chart, behind Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server

This comes up all the time because we chose MySQL as Dolt's first dialect, in large part because its install base is so much larger
The Postgres enjoyers have a point though: the momentum does seem to have shifted, all the growth is there (and away from MySQL)
