    Right. A better criticism might be to advise on the limited usefulness of benchmark comparisons. 1. don't measure real-world usage 2. perf is one of many metrics to consider for choosing a technology 3. we wouldn't be using Python if performance was the most important metric

    supervisor was borne of a need to restart crashing webapp processes. Its predecessor was a zope plugin restarter named "autolance", named after a particularly unlucky employee of a client named Lance who needed to restart our zope processes when they crashed.

    A little known story about how , writing a comment in the newborn Hacker News, inspired the creation of Redis. At some point he wrote that in certain Lisp programs he wrote there was this pattern of just storing data in memory, logging on disk what it was stored in memory.

    is too easy. had a preliminary idea about refactoring gatsby-starter-plone into a GatsbyJS theme gatsby-theme-plone. It's still weeks until the application period begins and a student candidate has already done it...

    Fun fact: because of all the metadata, the javascript community downloads "isarray" in the excess of 100GB a month from npm. For a one liner
