“I recognize the claw of the lion in software like Redis, cURL, uv, Ghostty, sqlite, llama.cpp - software that is elegant, well-built, considered and thoughtful. Software that is joyful to use. Software that helps me. I want to write software like this, and I want to use software like this, and I want us as programming people to be incentivized to value the process that creates software like this.”

“This effect is very real. Random DB keys like UUIDv4 destroy spatial locality (as I’ve written about before), making database caches less effective, almost always reducing insert performance, and reducing query performance where queries have substantial temporal locality. The slight upside to this is that they also avoid hot spotting in distributed or sharded architectures.”
