The Grug Brain article is fantastic, and even better if you run it through an LLM to convert from caveman. This thing is a gem.

DDIA is great. I read and re-read the small section about LSM merge tree in the first and second edition of the book and got interested in this stuff. It is always a pleasure to read about internals.

Grug.

Thanks for a drop of humanity in this place. I feel saner
