I remember I played with some software called "The Illumination Software Creator" [1], and I remember the saved project files were just SQLite databases.

I actually thought it was kind of cool, because I was able to play with it easily with some SQLite explorer tool (I forget which one) and I could easily look at how the save files actually worked.

I haven't really used SQLite for anything serious [2], but always found the idea of it kind of charming. Maybe I should dust it off and try it again.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illumination_Software_Creator by Bryan Lunduke before I realized how much of a pseudo-intellectual dimwit that he is.

[2] At least outside of the "included" database in a few web frameworks.

What is it that makes you think Lunduke is pseudo-intellectual? He certainly doesn't try to pose as a scholar. If you are like most of his haters, you just refuse to believe that smart people can be conservatives.

There’s no way to discuss Lunduke without getting into politics, so I’ll leave it that Lunduke is clearly a very intelligent person who IMO mistakes his knowledge in some areas for general expertise in other unrelated fields.

It’s a common trap to fall into. See also: Ben Carson. Both of them are obviously intelligent and highly skilled in their professional fields. And both have let that convince themselves that they know everything about everything.

I don't think Lunduke is a Ben Carson type. That would be ridiculous. He has opinions about things outside his area of expertise, like all of us, but he also has some unique experiences like having worked for Microsoft and OpenSUSE. His opinions on tech are pretty solid. I also agree with his politics for the most part.

I would hear what he has to say about his tech experiences. I would not be in a room where he was discussing his politics.
