On: The Fastest Redis Ever

[cbg0]

> The company I’m working for now keeps trying to add more and more functionality using Redis, that doesn’t belong in Redis, and then complains about Redis scaling issues.

This doesn't sound like a Redis issue, you're just not using the right tool for the job.

Do you have any proof to support these conspiracy theories?

If you knew how much of a common thing this is you'd probably just uninstall everything.

R.I.P. bruv. I wonder why people always overreact to stuff like this. qBittorrent is a great piece of software and I pay homage to the developers.

You don't need to daydream, just use a password manager.

[dt3ft → cbg0]

I use several, but I dream about a world with no passwords. Managers or not, passwords are always at risk and it is only a matter of time before one of the 300 sites leaks your data.

Fortunately iPhones are not essential items you need to buy, so there's nothing forcing you to drop a hypothetical $2500 for one.

On: I'm tired of fixing customers' AI generated code

[cbg0]

These "customers" were receiving free help. If they wanted to spend money on quality software they wouldn't have used an LLM.

This is an overly dramatic take.

In my experience there is way more work than you can conceivably get done. There is no way the work is running out.

Building a decent auth system is not that complicated that you need to rely on a 3rd party company to do it, they just hired cheap devs to maximize those profits.

These guys were stupid enough to put it in writing, but this happens in lots of places where you either get quid pro quo citations or just get put on an article as an author even though you contributed nothing. Unless folks start getting hit with jail time for this stuff, it's unlikely to change.

As someone who lives in an ex-communist country, I can tell you that you're wrong and the comparison is silly.

[krono → cbg0]

You wouldn't know if they're doing a good enough job of it, that's the point of censorship.
