There was at least one database from the mid 80s with abysmal performance and deadlocks too. But plenty of modern databases are fast and correct. The fact this one startup 40 years ago didn’t solve the problem doesn’t say a lot about whether I’ll be able to. Honestly the fact there are some dead bodies on the mountain makes it more fun to give it a go and see how I do. To be frank, judging by the code I’ve seen over the years, most engineers don’t have a lot of experience or skill at making software run fast.
