But you have to make the choice to skip using a relational database, and a lot of application frameworks make it very easy to use a relational database out of the box, to the point where you would have to make a conscious choice to use Redis directly, and sometimes for a CRUD app it's easier to just use the RDBMS.

While I agree with the theme that Redis has become more and more complicated and had more features added to it, as part of a monetization push by Redis Inc, it's understandable.

Especially since there are plenty of other posts on HN titled "Just use Postgres" for everything. So, why does Postgres get a pass on being a message queue, distributed lock manager, JSON document store, and vector database, while Redis is not allowed to?

It's a shame that all these companies that benefited from open source have poisoned the industry like this

> The git CLI test suite consists of 21,329 individual assertions for various git subcommands (that way we can be certain ziggit does suffice as a drop-in replacement for git).

It's a shame. The people who control the money successfully committed enshittification against open source.

The K shaped recovery phenomenon demonstrated that the economy can continue to thrive, when consumption by the lowest earners is replaced and concentrated by earners at the top. This demonstrated to the elites that actually, we don't need as many consumers to grow the economy, and that it's possible to redistribute wealth upward without losing growth.

These public comments just show that the elites are more and more comfortable making it explicit that there are too many "useless eaters" in their opinion, and that the change has been from considering just the Third World to be where these "useless eaters" are while still preserving an imperial core, to now considering everyone that isn't them, regardless of First or Third world, to be a useless eater.

Very dangerous thinking, but at least it's out in the open now.

They want to capture the entire value of everyone's labor and hoard it for themselves, and discard the people that produced it.

The importer CAN be the seller, but other times the importer is a middleman in the supply chain.

Seeing them now chasing AI as a "me too" after being acquired by Salesforce just shows that huge companies will acquire something then sit on it for years and let it rot.
