This hits at the true nature of the problem which has _nothing_ to do with Redis at all (which is a fine piece of technology written by a thoughtful and conscientious creator) and has everything to do with the fact that our industry at large encourages very little thinking about the problems we are trying to solve.

Hence, fads dominate. I hate to sound so cynical but that has been my experience in every instance of commercial software development.
