MariaDB’s INT
Reminder to self: INT(3) DOES NOT mean the database will manage a smaller amount of memory or storage than INT(255). No, it doesn’t work that way. This is how it works.

MVC
The MVC is a design pattern. Yes, it is. At the most fundamental level, in my experience, is like the artist positioning the canvas at a certain distance, holding the palette and the brushes. Having all those elements at hand ready to be used with consistency across the entire work process. From this point onward,…
