I have been working on my side project for the last 10 months. My initial focus was on language, frameworks (elixir, liveview) during the initial months. Designing tables in rdbms (postgres) was out of necessity. For the last 2 months, usage of Stored procedures and postgresql functions just clicked. The feel of working with raw data inside the database instead of running around ORM hoops felt very liberating. Just realizing loops and conditionals are made unnecessary by SQL and the fact that abstraction layers can be built using views is quite addictive. I have deleted much of my UI code that I painstakingly wrote in elixir to SQL and it feels good. Interested to hear if someone has went down this path. Would like to hear if there are any gotchas in this approach ?

My 7 years old son seems interested in Geography. Whenever he can get hold of a computer, he googles and searches for maps. Any thoughts what I can do to help him explore more ?

Hello HN,

I have a budding idea to build a website in edtech space. my daughter will be the first user. If it works, I want to make it public. I have these questions

1) Should I have the website running in cloud from day one ? If yes, any thoughts/recommendations ? If no, what I can do now, make that change (which I think is eventual) seamless?

2) What is the recommended tech stack ? I am looking for an option that I can stick with (mostly) and not make and future drastic changes

Context

I am not trying to learn any new technology/framework. I am quite comfortable with Python/Java/Clojure/Javascript stack

If you have read so far, thank you !

EDIT (1)

Below are considerations in decreasing order

1. Running cost of the setup

2. My time - I want to spend time on value creation.
