It's not like I just change things for the sake of change in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

There is a dangerously large population of devs and managers that look at themselves, unironically, as the gigachads pumping out ui "upgrades"

Many of these fail to realize how disruptive it is. UI change is like API breakage for the brain.

I have lost track of how many times I've tried to help an elderly family member with an app after some pointless, trivial, ui change. Only ending with them entirely giving up on using the app after the "upgrade" because the cognitive overhead of the change is beyond the skill that can fairly be expected for them 💔

What is the best way to store data for exceptional cases among nested objects in arrays in JSON? in c/programming@programming.dev

Depending on your needs you can also break it into a columnar format with some standard compression on top. This allows you to search individual fields without looking at the rest.

It also compress exceptionally well, and "rare" fields will be null in most records, so run length encoding will compress them to near zero

See fx parquet
