Also side observation, the last HN user to regularly mention b7r6 (with the strong implication that it's them) got banned here several months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47119245

The "dissertation" linked there (https://github.com/b7r6/cassandra-dissertation) is also incredibly interesting; looks like the HN user asked an LLM to prove/validate that they are "right" in their comments more often than not.

In general, these GH accounts and their repos/gists are kind of a rabbit hole.
