Speculating about computer hardware pricing impact
I'm legit really curious what will happen should bleeding-edge memory, GPUs, and hard drives become inaccessible for regular consumers. Speculating, my hunch is:
1. Most consumers will simply not upgrade unless things break
2. Instead of buying new, more people will buy refurbished instead
3. This will open up the market for new vendors selling hardware 5-10yrs behind the bleeding edge
4. We'll start hearing more about performance-per-dollar

An example of me making life harder on myself for fun. The other is running linux and hoping stuff will compile properly when I try to install them.
After my TypeScript-ification slog I've been having fun building with rocksdb-native and compact-encoding. It plays pretty similar to leveldb but a bit more low level and with first class support for separating "column families"
