Today I asked an LLM to assume the role of an experienced software architect then asked it how to make my app well architected

I used to LOVE Windows but every new version just gets worse and worse and worse. With the notable exception being the addition of WSL but that’s all I got for good new things

Companies will twist themselves into Bavarian pretzels rather than admit their shortcomings. If you want us to believe this, that means you still have to take responsibility for being unable to engage and motivate your employees and spark creativity. Still a you problem, I fear.

Some people say Gunnar flew to Belfast to speak at BelfAWSt User Group, other people say it was for the selfie

Not every day you get a selfie with Matt Coulter!

I've gotten together with various former Redis contributors and we've started working on a fork: github.com/madolson/place…. We are all unhappy with the license change, and are looking to build a new truly open community to fill the void left by Redis. Come join us!
