That's the reader's fault then. I see the blog post as the counter to the insane resume-building over-engineered architecture you see at a lot of non-tech companies. Oh, you need a cache for our 25-user internal web application? Let's put an front a redis cluster with elastisearch using an LLM to publish cache invalidation with Kafka.

There's also a sort of anti-everything attitude that gets boring and lazy. Redis is about the simplest thing possible to deploy. This wasn't about "a redis cluster with elastisearch using an LLM" it was just Redis.

I sometimes read this stuff like people explaining how they replaced their spoon and fork with a spork and measured only a 50% decrease in food eating performance. And have you heard of the people with a $20,000 Parisian cutlery set to eat McDonalds? I just can't understand insane fork enjoyers with their over-engineered their dining experience.
