I was actually listening to the Full Stack Radio podcast, and the latest episode talked about the power of moving more into the database. What struck me as a strong idea was that we can't treat databases as equivalent - different database servers have different strengths (for example, some have better JSON support or time evaluation functions).
I think it's particularly telling that you seem to be thinking of the database as a "tool", but if you're like most, you fight religious battles over your language of choice. In my experience, the database IS the application (and in many cases, the business) and is a far more important choice than the implementation language, the cloud provider, etc.

Moving into databases is not something I understand. I worked the last 10 years as data engineer but I like to move out from databases a lot more than moving into them. :)
OMG yes. Having worked in the Midwest, I promise you that farmers absolutely do trash talk each other about John Deere vs New Holland vs International Harvester. Tell a Ford driver that you like his Chevy pickup and prepare to hear about it for the next hour.

You seriously haven't spent much time around blue collar workers, have you.
