🚀🎩 Behold! The riveting tale of a tech wizard who valiantly simplifies a key-value database, only to discover the revolutionary concept of async I/O on Linux—something the rest of us mortals have been using since the dawn of time. Next up, he’ll reinvent sliced bread, but not before fsync-ing every loaf 🥖🔄.
