Things Maude Says on Podcasts

Yeah, yeah, I think so. I think it's it is really similar to for folks who are familiar with like the embedded SRE model, like there's a reason why that's really, really effective. And I think that there's real parallels with product platform as well. I kept talking to my team about like, I mean, we always had to fight against spaghetti code, right? It's so easy. But now we're at this point where like the spaghetti has like a life of its own and it like actively wants to spill out of the plate. Whereas before people were like, okay, like I got to kind of keep it on the plate. No, no, no. The spaghetti like wants out and we have to almost like red team our own situation.

actually less than that but yeah yeah so some some amount of time ago um was it was a hundred over a hundred Hundred MySQL queries to populate that page across at least three different MySQL clusters. And the thing with ActiveRecord is that it only caches the output automatically if the query is exactly the same. And so, if, say, you're fetching user information, like full, like blanket, like select star from users where user ID equals blank, and you have that full user, but then later on you do select star from users where user ID equals blank and something else, it's not going to reach back into the results that it cached for that first query because they are not exact same queries. Every single count, or at least when I last left, almost every single count on you see on a GitHub page is live calculated. None of those are cached. There's a lot of reasons why that is. Mostly product reasons, actually. But that's one of the first things that I was like, but why? And to go back to like my sort of silly emoji example of like the 10,000 and one emoji, no one cares. Why does anyone care? Right. And if…
