#2So that at least looks like good news. Hope they can make this transition work smoothly!
Re: Redis Core Team Update
#3Both Madelyn and Zhao are terrific programmers. In case you wonder, they are not random people put there for reasons, like for example since Madelyn is a woman so there was some pressure to add she. She deserves this 100% and is one of the top Redis contributors of the last times, with deep technical knowledge in basically every aspect of Redis. The same for Zhao, he is simply impressive, can track bugs about complex conditions like almost nobody can. I'm happy to see them aboard. Btw they were both effectively part of the informal "core team" that was forming spontaneously in the recent times.

#4Interesting move, putting “SLA-driven” infrastructure engineers (i.e. people working at public clouds to deliver Redis-as-a-Service solutions) in charge of the project. (Not just these two from AWS and Alibaba Cloud, but the rest being from Redis Labs.)
It seems like, for one reason or another (Redis Labs because they want to sell their “core plus proprietary modules” service; the clouds because they want to push you to use their other products for use-cases that fit them better), all the new leadership has reason to want to not add any more developer-facing features to Redis Core. I expect the Redis Core you see right now, is the same Redis Core we’ll have 10 years from now, client-API wise. Redis, as a USP, is “done.”
Unless, that is, some third-party comes in with their own polished feature PR, and pushes really hard for it. In other words, Redis is kind of moving to the Linux kernel model, where “new use-case out of nowhere” features come in mostly not from internal development, but rather from external contributors petitioning the core-maintainership priesthood with reasons their patch should be upstreamed.
Either way, there’ll certainly continue to be plenty of ops-staff-facing innovations, bug-fixes and polish. That’s what gets this new core team up in the morning. I’m sure people running Redis in production are happy about that.

True but I think thats the most skeptical viewpoint possible.
1. Those orgs succeed when redis succeeds. So they want to see it used more which means more features.
2. Developers think for themselves and aren't always "double agents".
3. The redis community still exists and open source communities are often very vocal about directing products

As a non-native English speaker, I am always thrown off by the word terrific. It sounds horrible to me, and apparently it can also mean very bad.

You certainly leave some big shoes to fill, as shown in the quick stats below:
but like you say, these aren't nobodies. However, I am curious to see how the pace will change (if at all), with you no longer doing the lion share of work.

> it can also mean very bad
this usage is definitely uncommon/archaic
Re: Redis Core Team Update
#9What will be interesting to see is how Redis fares without Antirez.
He was the heart and soul of the project.
It also makes me think, what would Linux be when Linus decides to step away? I kind of don't want to think about it.
Thank you to Antirez for all your hard work on Redis.

Yep it's the same in italian, it means "generating strong fear" or alike. But at this point I got accustomed to the English meaning when I write English.
