I watched most of Daphne's videos and had the opposite reaction - I was blown away at how good they were. I felt as though I had a world class expert standing there in front of me explaining things very clearly. I particularly enjoyed that

We also find Redis perfect in a whole range of scenarios. I like Redis because it's simple enough that I feel I easily understand what's going on (i.e. performance is predictable), yet powerful enough to do pretty much everything I want. F

Good execution pretty much is a continuous stream of good ideas. "The idea" is merely the top level idea, and it matters most because it is at the top level. Good execution is rarer because it requires not just the possession of a single id
