this. I don't like SQL columns. They make life hard. But I'm spending time learning TypeScript specifically so I can add some types/schemas to my JavaScript.

That doesn't mean I want to deal with the implementation detail of columns, but I definitely wouldn't mind some type safety.



I hear a lot of talk about how hard it is to maintain sql schemas and columns. I've used mongodb on projects previously and while it was interesting I didn't find that the lack of schema made life any easier. Writing a migration in rails is so easy, I just can't understand how managing a schema really makes life more difficult. What is it about managing a schema that makes people so eager to jump to schema-less?
