Last week, I participated in an amazing MariaDB/MySQL hack week organized by @eatonphil.
I wrote about the things I learned about MariaDB replication here:

Hope it helps.

@VikramSubrama11 It has been a while since when I used celery. But from what I remember, it didn't have much overhead to add to the product, and the deployment was fairly simple. My guess is that the task queue will get overly complicated over time, especially for handling failed events.

Last October, I hosted a virtual hack week focused on Postgres internals. ~100 devs showed up to dig in and have fun.

In early January 2024, I'll host another hack week focused on MySQL/MariaDB internals.

Sound fun? Sign up in the linked Google Form!

I know that Stack Overflow is not the system with the highest load, but this is really interesting:

My plan for now is to consume selectively and always produce something based on whatever I read. Maybe it will help me not read every random blog post across the internet.

[Amin Setayesh @aminst79]

The ways our own mind deceives us are so interesting. Recently I figured out that when I want to procrastinate doing something, I start reading a lot about different subjects. It gives an illusion of being productive while I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do.

Programming is cool. It's as cool as writing. Writing and programming make you touch the infinite. Maybe programming will become as irrelevant as writing, but it will continue to be one of the best things you can apply your mind to, making life worth.

[Amin Setayesh @aminst79]

@muratdemirbas Thank you for your blog posts. They are really helpful :)

[Amin Setayesh @aminst79]

Reminder to myself:
Work hard, but always take a step back to reflect on whether you're in the right direction.

I'm reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor. It is strange and incredible to be able to read what a person privately wrote to himself every day around 2000 years before. I highly recommend reading it; it is amazing.

[Amin Setayesh @aminst79]

I didn't think like this before, but now I understand how everyone has something you can learn from. In the first chapter, he writes about what he learned from everyone. He actually got sth out of all his interactions.
