the folks there are really good about responding to issues, tagging @subeta.net to let them know about that

Man, that's a fucking nightmare. Why does it add so much latency? As a backend engineer, I'm deadly curious, but also, my condolences on the monday emergency maintenance. Sad about having to find another distraction for now, but I'm excited about the speedup.

Just wanted to thank you for everything you do. It’s not like you don’t have a day job and a life. I very much appreciate the time you spend so us junkies can get our fix. Lol

at my job we're attempting a modernization effort and wouldn't you know it, they're not touching the extremely tortured, convoluted tables until right at the end, even though like half our current business logic is dictated by them. so I sympathize greatly.

hahahahah I'm in the same boat at work (RPG looks at table columns by *index*, so we can't even remove columns let alone tables) I was more wondering if you could make new tables, copy data over, and then point kumos to that instead? or is that too expensive (work-wise, not monetarily)?
