<p>> Don't reinvent a type system<p>I'd like to add: stay away from using arrays and user defined types. They feel like a good idea at first, but will become a problem when using fetched data in your code.<p>And another miss, if you're managing your servers: pgtune. The default postgres configuration is very conservative regarding resources so you can get good performance gains just by adjusting them to your server specifications.</p>

<p>Personally: forums are mostly about one subject, have a community and you have to invest some time learning the lay of the land to get the most out of it, get some reputation. Reddit? It's just drive-by commenting. I get points? Cool. I get banned? Next account. No avatar, pseudonyms almost hidden it is not a social media, it's unsocial.</p>

<p>> we expected people we hire to know what they are doing<p>I feel this is a generational thing. Many baby-boomer parents never took the time to teach their children any skill. They thought they learnt it by osmosis I guess.
Their generation outsourced everything they could.</p>

<p>> Then what would you use for seasonal storage?<p>Like Germany: coal and the energy provided by the rest of the EU. So Nordic countries hydro and nuclear, and some French nuclear.<p>While lobbying to make all those interconnections increase domestic prices for the providers.</p>

<p>> I don't understand the online obsession with nuclear power in spite of all the evidence that it's simply not economical.<p>Independence from China and the US. Once you have your reactor engineering set and can churn them like China almost everything can be sourced either locally or you have multiple providers. Solar and wind? China. Batteries? China.<p>When you get in a spat with China you suddenly have to setup those industries from 0 at home. And that won't be just 15 years to ramp-up.<p>So the best is to start building nuclear reactors, silicon fabs, rare earth processing etc. now instead of having the exact same argument we had 20 years ago in 2045.</p>
