  1. Post about programming, interesting repos, learning to program, etc. Let's try to keep free software posts in the c/libre comm unless the post is about the programming/is to the repo.

  2. Do not doxx yourself by posting a repo that is yours and in any way leads to your personally identifying information. Use reports if necessary to alert mods to a potential doxxing.

  3. Be kind, keep struggle sessions focused on the topic of programming.

Even this website uses a query builder

Wait what... Why? Is it at least plaintext? Or like an orm? Query builders should be a way to generate a SQL starting point...

I've used Metabase to do BI on databases before, and that has a pretty decent query builder, but it also lets you see the exact SQL it generates and convert the query to raw SQL at any point. Why would you ever lock a builder into your workflow...

It's a framework called "Diesel" and I have absolutely no clue why anyone would use something like this. I guess it has some nice stuff like migrations built in, but I don't know why they need any of the other stuff
