This is exactly why I built bunqueue — a job queue for Bun backed by SQLite. No Redis, no external dependencies, just bun:sqlite with WAL mode for concurrent access. Handles 100k+ jobs/sec on a single node.
The SQL-as-queue pattern is definitely underrated. Great to hear it worked well at that scale.

Handles 100k+ jobs/sec on a single node. If you're too lazy to even write your own comments, I suspect you're too lazy to have written your own software. At least preface your comment with "The LLM says" or preface your submission with "The LLM wrote this software".
- pyrolistical 8mo agoWhy do you think that was written with a LLM?
- MitziMoto 8mo agoBecause it has an emdash and people can't fathom that real people use emdashes. Like the LLMs didn't learn it from somewhere.
- kovek 8mo agoI know people who don't speak English fluently who like to use LLMs to translate to English.
- lelanthran 8mo ago"No $X, just $Y. $CONCLUSION"
- kernelvoid 8mo agoNo magic, just good engineering. That’s it.
- mpalmer 8mo agoTo be honest I don't see anything egregious here.
- kernelvoid 8mo agoThe comment sounds "polished" because I've probably described this project dozens of times at this point. When you repeat the same thing over and over you naturally end up with a tight version of it. That's not an LLM, that's just how it works when you talk about something a lot. And honestly even if I did use an LLM to write a comment on HN, so what? The code is what matters. Go run the benchmarks, read the source, open an issue if something breaks. That's the part that actually counts.
- tombert 8mo ago> And honestly even if I did use an LLM to write a comment on HN, so what? The code is what matters. Part of what makes these forums fun is human responses. LLMs write "good enough" text but they come off as robotic and inhuman. The only reason to go onto one of these forums is to communicate with people. If I wanted to talk to a robot, I would talk to ChatGPT, which I can do as often as I want.
- kernelvoid 8mo agoI get the concern, but there’s a spectrum. Using an LLM to polish grammar vs. having it generate opinions wholesale are different things.
- tombert 8mo agoI'm not necessarily saying that you used an LLM, but em dashes aren't used that often when regular people are typing. I use Grammarly all the time and they've never suggested that I add an em dash, and it's often a sign of a low-effort "ask ChatGPT for a response to this comment". Again, not necessarily saying that's what you did, just that that's the red flag.

I didn't say it sounded "polished", I said exactly the opposite. > And honestly even if I did use an LLM to write a comment on HN, so what? If we wanted to chat with bots, we know where to find them.
