Why would you jump to assuming that all the commenters and voters are bots just from encountering an unfamiliar acronym?

Humans aren't always rational and that's okay, we're all human after all :)

Could you please elaborate for those of us without context?

> Clickhouse benchmarks don’t show Pinot favorably by comparison

Looks like they don't configure any indexes for Pinot in their benchmarks, which is one of Pinot's main selling points on the performance front - https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/issues/37.

Yup, I've had the same experience and found that 2MAD works a lot better for me.

"Backend" is absolutely not a simpler problem to solve, it's an umbrella term encompassing a wide variety of domains. If you're talking specifically about Web backends, then sure, maybe there's a case to be made there.

Slightly off topic, but there's currently work underway to introduce queue like semantics to Kafka interestingly enough - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-932%3A...

Doesn't Yandex itself come from "Yet Another Indexer"?

Airbnb is another one - https://news.airbnb.com/airbnbs-design-to-live-and-work-anyw...

"It's like regex" could be another punchline for the joke

Software engineers are highly paid in most parts of the world though.

Think pipenv is becoming the de facto standard for package management. https://realpython.com/pipenv-guide/

It's hard to work in finance and not be one.

Yes, but that's not at the hiring level but at education level. You can't expect every single tech company to be representative of the population since there simply aren't that many female/black/whatever engineers

But one could argue even intelligence is based purely on luck.

It's pronounced "nega"

You just pulled that number out of your ass, didn't you?
