I really *want* to love Matrix, but their data model and approach to data storage is so annoying from a performance perspective. They pretty much mandate doing full text searches with decryption on every single row which just *does not* scale as you grow your message history / room count. 🤢

I'm begging developers to please index the data they're storing locally in their apps so that it can be fast. I get IndexedDB users are kinda cooked if you also want encryption at rest, but folks using Sqlite have no excuse.

My current tech strat is to deinfluence startups from what's trendy and point them to "boring" tech that will get the job done and be more stable.

@Miaourt Imagine getting into an argument and it just rm-rf's all your memories together.

@ylebre Hmm, you give a pretty compelling argument. 🤔🤔🤔

Should I abandon all my social connections for a pararomantic relationship with a chatbot?

Womp womp, turns out this refactor is taking more tinkering than anticipated.

I currently don't have an easy to use matrix client. 😵

My setup is weird enough now that I might as well switch to NixOS.

Womp womp, I need to rethink this system because JSON-RPC can't handle binary blobs. Might end up using the same shape but with length prefixed cbor packets.

(joking) AI has taught me that you can do a "planning phase" before you write your code to avoid having to rewrite it a bunch of times. 🤪

@GossiTheDog I have a friend that got dumped in part because his GF got way too attached to an AI too. I think as a species we're somewhat cooked.
