And why do you even need globally UUIDs here? What's wrong with a plain old sequence counter or the like?

  Among others is that predictability of behavior of systems makes analysis and/or attack easier. Also "plain old sequence counters" in clusters of (heterogeneous) hardware makes distributing (floating) tasks more challenging. There are a bunch of other reasons.

    How is using UUIDs making software more predictable than using sequence numbers?
    • stragies 6y ago
      the opposite: UUIDs make things less predictable. And in many situations this is very good.
