Prime was dead on when he said Aaron is the nicest man on the internet.

[@StingSting844]

A Aron is the best

[@robrobob]

What a cool guy! So chilled. Thanks for hanging out Ben ;-) This is such a prime example of some of the amazing things people are doing with SQLite.

[@KentCDodds-vids]

Ben is the bomb and I loved this chat. I've been using LiteFS for years and it's fantastic. I even made the transition from postgres to SQLite and it was not too bad! Prisma made it less bad than it could've been.

first DHH, then Ben Jonson. next: aaron francis with the creator of life

[@TrondHus]

Attenboroughs?

[@zuma206]

This is such an awesome video. I've been interested in LiteFS, Litestream, and SQlite in general for a while now. Ben Johnson is such a knowledgeable person, and Aaron is also clearly more than well versed enough to make the most out of his knowledge. Thanks.

Aaron I'm really becoming a fan dude the way you ask genius questions and have no issues clarifying things

[@sinaahmadpour3180]

I love technical talks like this. I wish there were more. Great conversation. Thank you Aaron 🤩🙏🏻

[@markripley7880]

What a great discussion! One of very few I’ve watched where I actually wished I could have been on the call with you guys. More like this please Aaron 🙏

[@Cyber_Lanka]

Aaron is unarguably the most underrated tech youtuber. He deserves much more views

[@RobertWinkky]

Great content Aaron! You are killing it

[@JOHNSMITH-ve3rq]

I feel like we need Dr hipp himself up in here

[@nimmneun]

15min in ... loving it, great guest 🎉 you're on a roll man 😊

[@buddy.abc123]

Yet another great interview

[@GringoDotDev]

awesome!

[@Cool_Goose]

Aaron is making me feel old by not knowing what Flex is :D

[@LambrosPetrou]

I LOVE Monodraw as well :)

[@vladogir]

Amazing interview! Please more of those gold nuggets!

[@something00witty]

Dang, Ben Johnson is rad.

[@razvancomsa2276]

Is this techology like binlog but on steroids ? It would be amazing to have something like this in mysql :( I wanted to play around with the binlog from what I understand it's possible to do some sort of point in time recovery but it's orders of magnitude harder than in sqlite which is just a file ?

[@alexanderpotts8425]

Hell yes. Litestream rules

[@alexanderpotts8425]

OMG, he was a Flex developer! That's how I started my career...

[@magmaticly]

I just started watching this, and I don't know which man is Aaron and which is Ben.

[@aarondfrancis]

I am Aaron

[@TheStruders]

Are all these modifications to SQLite slowly reinventing SQL DBs? At this point, why would you not just spin up a SQL DB?

[@gavinh7845]

No?

[@jordixboy]

Sql lite is a sql database, what do you mean?

[@comed1an]

bro built his own DB because of a bug in the DB he was using #wtf

[@aarondfrancis]

Legend

That's chuck norris energy
