Kind of funny title since I didn’t think UUIDv7 had any of the properties being disputed here. The reason to use UUIDv7 is because it reduces the space over which the UUID can cover at a given time, which improves write clustering. They don’t need to be strictly ordered for this, just “good enough”.

I hope to god no one is actually using the timestamp portion to replace an “updated at” timestamp but I suspect I’ll be disappointed.

Yeah this is what pick-up "artists" call a "neg" - a negative judgement made purely so the recipient feels, at some level, that their credibility is on the line. In this case, for clickbait. I always either don't read such an article or come here to read the comments instead.
