Welcome Back. Antirez! ( Surprised This blog post is submitted just 2 min after it was posted )

I am wondering if Valkey has moved so far off from Redis the codebase couldn't be merged again? I am reading the top contributor to ValKey are now from Tencent Cloud, Google, Amazon and Ericsson.

Could someone help with me with SSPL, is it essentially AGPL v3 except instead of releasing the source code only you have to release the whole system that is able to run the services you are currently operating on top of ?

Just wondering these things from the sideline. As I am still on the memcached camp.

I am a big fan your work, including your lua c64 coding thing which actually was a great educational tool for my small cousins and for some friends. Also works well on the go. Just wanted to say that.

@antirez, if you manage to see this, can you tell me what you think of [1] as a funding model?

Hi ksec! Thanks. ValKey and Redis are not so different codebases so far, but I have the feeling they will diverge more and more. I hope that at least at protocol level they will stay compatible, to be able to use the same clients. I doubt the projects can be rejoined, because the backers have different goals. Amazon / Google / Alibaba / ... wants to keep using it without any revenue sharing, and Redis instead does not want Redis to be sold SAAS style since the cloud three-poly makes it very hard to penetrate the market without any agreement. I'm not a business person but this is how I see the current matter.

I appreciated a lot reading your comment. I feel silly sometimes when I use months of time to write something like LOAD81, I question my sanity, but then I see that other people had some good time with it and I'm so happy: and also I'm sure that I used my time in the best way.

I suspect he is going to make a lot of money coming back to save Redis from the negative press they have been having recently as well as the threat of Valkey. I sort of have to view it in light of all the other events that have been happening to Redis.

I covered this in the blog post: no big money involved, I asked to rejoin and without a big paycheck on purpose because to be free to act you should not get too much money, otherwise it's all fake.

I love this sentiment, I guess you have to have some sort of basic economical confidence to be able to afford this.

It is a work of art for me as a c64 80s guy so I put it on too many people to learn coding. It is great!!! Thank you.

But if you wanted to have influence without a big pay check, why not join Valkey? Redis, the company, in your absence has gotten a reputation as a predatory company that has attacked open source projects in other to further those goals. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/redis... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39858144 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42239607

Antirez, I am just wondering about something...

Given that you probably already have retirement-sized exit from Redis. Isn't it more liberating to start something completely new? Or maybe forked Redis as the foundation of something new? Is there a need to re-join the old company?

Is Claude really that much better than ChatGPT? I Use ChatGPT Plus on a daily basis and have no complaints but is it worth cancelling it and get one for Claude?
