Comment on Code rant: The Database As Queue Anti-Pattern

Comments

The database is not the world's most efficient way to do this. However if it isn't a bottleneck, who cares? It is one less dependency to maintain, understand, etc.

We're looking to create working solutions, not works of art. Seeking the perfect component for every piece is often simply not worthwhile.

Amen. Sacrificing pragmatism on the altar of perfectionism is also an anti-pattern.
