<story><title>The Redis Manifesto</title><url>http://antirez.com/post/redis-manifesto.html</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>bobz</author><text>&lt;i&gt;We optimize for joy. We believe writing code is a lot of hard work, and the only way it can be worth is by enjoying it. When there is no longer joy in writing code, the best thing to do is stop. To prevent this, we&apos;ll avoid taking paths that will make Redis less of a joy to develop.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love this as a priority, and not just as a coder, but as anyone involved in building software. I&apos;ve noticed an extremely high correlation with how enjoyable a code base is to work on, and how easily I get into The Zone on that project. Hopefully I don&apos;t need to elaborate on the correlation between The Zone and developing a kick ass product in record time.&lt;p&gt;As for the meaning of enjoyable, well... hire great developers, &lt;i&gt;listen to them&lt;/i&gt; when they speak, and make having a great, well designed, low code debt code base a priority whenever possible.</text></comment>

We love Redis and I&apos;ve always been impressed with the quality of the software (and readability of the code). This manifesto makes sense in that context. I like &apos;Redis is a data structure server&apos; better than what point #1 says now.</text></comment>
