    they also stored this thing as a fucking string. looking up strings is costly.

        can’t wait for the Clever Idea to offload costly string indices to an external source composed of redis box and some shitfuck app doing tf-idf after a Extensive Research into how to make string lookups be faster

      This sounds like a case of premature optimization to me. We have plenty of databases using strings as Ids and they’re all more than fast enough for any of our purposes. And that’s with considerable volume going through.

      I’ve never seen bad performance from string ids be an issue.

        so we’re calling “not doing pointless unnecessary work” premature optimization now? cool cool

          Making me learn how to do things the right way is premature optimization

        “what are you talking about? a hammer removes bolts just fine. i personally don’t have an issue with the tiny bit of extra elbow grease to wedge the claw around the bolt-head and twist; if anything, it’s saving me effort from having to use a wrench.”
