On: Redis Turns 10 – How it started with a single post...

Funny anecdote though. No patches every few hours, no 1000 issues open? Apparently you were too good of a programmer ;)

[EugeneOZ → akuji1993]

I'm still a programmer, just use Rust mostly, instead of PHP. It's not an anecdote, there was 6-7 issues on github and code was really well tested.

Why not post a link to it? That would be a simple and welcome revival.

Redis evolved, clients evolved, there are better PHP clients right now I believe.

And I'm here not promote my code, I'm here to congratulate Antirez and thank him for his great job and for being a good example of how to write API, stable and fast code, how to communicate with the community. His blog is a source of lessons, wise thoughts and inspiration.

Google says anecdote means "a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person."

Edit: This should have been a reply to the comment from EugeneOZ saying it's not an anecdote; I replied to the wrong comment by accident.

The literal translation from Greek is “unpublished” which refers to a short incident irrelevant enough to not be part of the main story. In modern Greek anecdoto means joke.

Hm, I'm no native speaker. In my language, we use the same word for "stories from the past".

[menacingly → akuji1993]

I am a native speaker and this was correct usage of anecdote by any reasonable definition
