Cool good to know!

Out of curiosity - do you just not check personal email at all at work? Or do you use your phone and don't connect to corporate wifi?

Thanks! Is there a diagram that shows how it works? I'm still having trouble visualizing it.

Couldn't really parse out the website for what Clustrix actually is. Is it basically a leader node that distributes writes to key-value stores, and then the reads figure out where the data is by a partitioning scheme, with the benefit of MySQL protocol? Similar to CockroachDB?

I'm still confused about the paranoia around AGPL.

If MongoDB is AGPL, why does everyone else throw a shit fit? Despite its faults, MongoDB is still massively popular, so I assume it's used at many enterprises.

Also, side note: can anyone point a blog post (preferably from a lawyer) that explains why AGPL is so problematic?

Interesting! I wonder if there's a bug in the gRPC library that you used?

Hate to be that person, but what's "Cloud Native" even mean? Is there a glossary for buzzwords somewhere?

Firefox will [...] block storage access from third-party tracking content.

Is that an impact on LocalStorage?

It's weird that they go on and on about how traditional Enterprise approaches suck, but they then offer SurveyMonkey Enterprise as a market opportunity. How are they different?

Thanks for correcting! Good to know!

AmeriSpeak seems to have national representation, so I can only assume it was drawn randomly throughout the nation.
