  That doesn't disprove anything for me. It just says POSIX DOS lowest common denominator network effects are a hell of a drug. Whenever we're talking about interfaces, coordination success or failure is the name of the game.

    What problem do you think a DB-as-filesystem solves? The only obvious one that makes any sense at all is cross-file transactions.

      The filesystem is a bad database Directories are a shitty underpowered way to organize data? No good transactions Conflation of different needs such as atomic replace vs log-structured I would like to use a better database instead.

        • Ericson2314 1y ago
          No, and I would also not need to.
