Cool to see how OpenAI uses Redis to scale voice AI to 900M users:

We're huge Codex fans here at Redis - I use Codex 5.5 extensively - amazing work by the team there. GPT 5.5 is the best model for most tasks IMO. It even fixed my wifi tonight (no joke)

🚨Redis 8 is GA today.🚨 It's fast, loaded with new features, comes with the tools in Redis Stack included, and it's open source. Read more here: https://t.co/YQktVjiiqm

Dear friends, I'm rejoining Redis. It's a long story, so it deserved a blog post to explain all the details: https://t.co/LO9H2NfkpN

@Jason @VivekGRamaswamy I honestly just think it’s really funny they went with DOGE

On my windows machine I usually use the regular CLI through WSL, obviously that’s not always a solution because WSL isn’t always available on our windows servers :). There’s also a node cli which I often see windows devs using - which is incomplete. Solution is usually to have them install Redis Insight on a machine inside of their network. Not nearly as scriptable as the cli is though.

@FrMatthewLC I’d like to meet the Costco shopper with a severe dairy allergy who doesn’t know butter contains milk.

@mattyglesias Plenty of money and infrastructure for a large bounce back. Pricy for sure, but the sunbelts gotten expensive in the last decade, and just hasn’t developed the same level of industry, so if they get housing policy under control could really set the stage for a big resurgence.

@levie He’s got nothing to run for anymore. Could finally be the pivot people have been waiting for for 9 years. Probably not, but could be!

[Steve Lorello @slorello]

@Jason I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that that’s probably a bot account or a troll farm.

Lots of really contradictory stuff going on there (not withstanding the reality that ‘America First Catholic’ is literally oxymoronic).

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R Someone’s been writing Java

@markgurman I really think the M4 Pro Mac mini with 48GB of ram at $1800 sounds like a ridiculously attractive offering for a pro user.

@theo Hey, slightly better css skills than I have!

[Steve Lorello @slorello]

@JoannaStern Less than I should.

@Jason I bought a hunker windows machine with an 3080 in 2021, clearing up my desk is very tempting!

[Steve Lorello @slorello]

I think it really depends on what you’re doing with it. I use an M1 Max with 32GB 1TB for work, and it’s hands down the best machine I’ve ever developed on (and I use less than half the storage). So I don’t know that scaling back to 16GB / 256GB would really have that much of an impact for a non-pro user (esp if you are paying for iCloud)

@TalkinYanks I thought Angel retired?

[Steve Lorello @slorello]

@catholicpat All Saints Day Eve?

@Jason There’s a pretty decent chance that if he loses in November they’ll just cease operations and return the money to their shareholders. So unless there’s really rampant fraud in the company there is some price at which it’s probably a safe buy.

[Steve Lorello @slorello]

@Jason $50M seems pretty bearish, I don’t think they have any debt, and they raised a bunch of money in the SPAC, I’d think they’re at least worth their book value.
