@antirez - Thank you for Redis! It's been a joy to use across so many projects. > However I never wanted to be a software maintainer. And nothing say that you have to be.

We're all violating the first and second rules of "underground programming world"

I would love a story on "I don’t like much what the underground programming world became in recent years" What could he mean? What underground programming world is he talking about?

I just want to say thank you to antirez for Redis, for how simple, fast, and rock solid it remains to this day. Redis is one of those things that allows you to tilt your head a little on a problem--thinking of solutions in terms of set operations and lookups. A lot of people use it understandably for a cache but it is so much more than that...for me it's introduced an entirely new way of composing solutions to problems. Cheers for all you've done--you've shown at least one programmer that there is still a place for small, elegant design that will stand the test of time.
