One of the most popular and misunderstood principals is the DRY principle.
Many people think that DRY is about duplication of code, but in fact it's about duplication of knowledge.
In this #software_design episode I dove deep into the DRY principle, talked about what it actually means, and the design principle behind it (coupling).
I also explained what is coupling, when you should couple/decouple your code and how all of that relates to DRY.
One of the most important and least discussed considerations when picking a DB is your data relationships.
In today back-end podcast, I talk about how your data relationship affect the choice of your DB, when should you pick a document DB, a relational DB or a Graph DB.
