So, a less deterministic software means you are blameless?

Can you share a bit more of your thinking for this tool? The testing space already has a number of quasi-DSLs already (Cucumber, Capybara, Rspec, to name a few) - and the checks that you have seem at this point to heavily rely on string pattern matching. Can you share why a developer would use your tool instead of dropping into their programming language of choice to write the tests?

and in the back of their head, right, they’ve started the spiral already. they’re telling themselves, “oh my god, I haven’t really shipped anything in a while. what I need to do is work harder. I’ll just work hard enough. I’ll save this and no one will know.” like, “in the next week, I’ll do a whole month’s work. and no one will know.” they’ll start losing sleep, all of that. and it sucks, because bro, they start getting depressed, missing meals. their relationships suffer, both work and personal. and they just start spiraling, spiraling, and it ends up in worst-case scenarios. they burn out, they need to take a month off, they get PIP’d, they get fired, they quit their jobs because they think, “you know what, this is not salvageable.” and it really sucks.

Yep I accidentally did this. Would not recommend.

You can use kvrocks which supports the Redis protocol but stores everything to disk instead of in-memory only. There are lots of other projects that speak the Redis protocol but store the data differently.
