I didn't remember before you mentionend it and I'm too lazy to do a search. Let's just re-label `repetition` as `cognitive honey`, then it's a good thing, and stickier.

You're right. And I think we had this conversation about zookeeper a couple months ago. My poor brain.

Not from 0.11 and up I think - i.e. since 8 years or so?

Sort of. I found it very hard to use outside of a server environment, needs a lot of work to make it survive dumb things that happen on desktop environments like sleep. The out-of-the-box inconsistencies after wake were driving me nuts. And I wanted this to ultimately embed it, but it's just easier to use leveldb and custom build the at-least-once logic on top, so I've switched to that.

Kafka is because I plan to do a ton of server-side processing in the future so I'm now trying to get a working dev environment w/ it... on macos, lol. I should just connect to my dev server but I want to be able to work offline too so now I'm down the apple container rabbithole because I truly dislike docker desktop.
