justin's rule: all no-code eventually converges to yes-code over time

basically, at some point the UI becomes so unwieldy and hard to use that SQL is a superior UX https://twitter.com/NotionHQ/status/1266071117661270018

if the people using this feature would just take 2 hours to learn basic SQL we could have avoided this and gone home early

like, im sorry to be a thinkboi here but at some point users need to stop being 5 year olds and learn the right tool for the job. we're reinventing things that already exist and are already good in the name of no-code

Does anyone really think that *this* is easier to build and easier to read than SQL?

none of this is to rip on Notion per se, I'm sure a bunch of their high value clients asked for this and that's why they built it. but like...just use the right tool for the job guys

and because of course, people will use your words to push their agenda, a reminder of what's important: https://twitter.com/itunpredictable/status/1266177548767002624?s=20
