The index unchanging the life is so relatable

[@TheLakeJake3]

I’m enjoying the interviews as much as the deep dive episodes!

I've been making my own ASM for personal purposes for 9 months now and I've ran into a lot of the challenges mentioned in this video. It felt very relatable to see other people talking about those issues. Messaging-based architecture blew my mind when I found out about it.

love you guys

Great discussion, "Contract Limits" should be replaced with "conntrack table" in the timestamps so people can google it and learn more if they want to.
