I kept skimming to find the "real" article. Couldn't figure out if the schtick ever ended but I found it too distracting. I say this as someone who spent 10 years dreaming of working for The Onion. I feel this type of tone can work as a brief intro/aside, but is rarely suited for long form. I certainly don't think it befits a technical topic.

Use a database. Wrap it with a scheduler. Have your workers poll it. Use Redis if you must in higer-contention situations for locks. Doing this will solve countless swathes of distributed systems problems, and you won't get woken up at 2am every third night.
