It was kind of Hunter S Thomson-ish and also kind of inside-baseball like. It would be interesting to talk to the author. Are they like that in person?

He's operating on another level in some ways, but does all that fancy-talk and verbal abstraction (We are fucked in 2020 he says) actually come down to anything a normal schlub can use? If you've worked in the db world on distributed databases, well, this is par for the course at MemSQL or Amazon or whatever.

One of his commit messages (https://github.com/spacejam/sled/commit/5dbd8f681133ab042e24...) was "©️ dat spicy law shit". He's an interesting character for sure.
He gave a talk about Sled last year, I think at FOSDEM, but I can't find it right now.
