To some extent my entire career has been searching for and destroying said half baked implementations. This saying can be adapted to infra: “half baked, bug ridden kubernetes”, “half baked, bug ridden proxySQL”, “half baked, bug ridden redis”, the list goes on and on.
In some ways I feel like my impact has been quite boring, in other ways quite vital. But it’s never made me friends with the kind of developers who look sideways at the idea that other peoples life’s work might be better than their 5 year old weekend project.
- sgarland 3y agoProxySQL is both mind-blowingly good and horrible. The documentation is awful, conflicts with itself, and has outdated information in some parts (looking at you, multiplexing information in extended_info). I still dearly love it. It makes operating a massive MySQL DB that has to deal with terrible queries from an ORM palatable.
