But you’ll need a powerful system with 64GB of RAM to use it.

Microslop thinks that “Clutter free” means “bundled with an always on LLM” 😸

    Why an RDBMS on the local though? Testing shit doesn’t make sense to name it as a regular piece of software.

    I always build against a local DB?

    For our desktop / LAN software the DB will always be local.

    For web, it’s easier since I’m likely to burn the DB down over and over during early development / prototyping. But I’m not using cloud hosted DB even in production, and don’t expose Postgres outside the DB server, so I find it easier to work on this way.

    EDIT: I also think that a default installation of VS includes SQL Server. I don’t use it, so always have to adjust the installation and remove all of those bits, but I also have complete control of my environment. I could see an IT department just doing a stock VS installation with the required workloads.

        I could totally see that for the web stuff where I only make changes a couple of times a year. Usually when working on those I just delete the local DB before I start to keep it clean, but spinning up a new copy would be more efficient.

        For our desktop apps / server Postgres is always installed locally on the machine, so keeping it there mirrors “production”.

        I spent most of my time working on those apps and services, or working on the Android client (or both at the same time when a feature requires that both change), and often on a copy of actual customer data as we do a lot of custom work for clients.

        Yeah, that’s exactly the process- while you are building out a feature it hits a local DB and once it’s ready to integrate you push it to a shared environment.

        If you break dev, coworkers be mad
