09.05.2026 - 17:13:15 <anon> someone felt it was important to share this...

09.05.2026 - 17:15:18 <anon> yes because UUID stands for "universally unique indentifier" meaning you should not be able to generate 2 of the same. Ever.

09.05.2026 - 17:19:06 <anon> WTF, just user microseconds since 01.01.1970

09.05.2026 - 18:05:16 <anon> "startup" "maybe 200 devs" "in his first week", and all the rest is too contrived as well. total BS story.

09.05.2026 - 18:13:19 <anon> "The probability of a collision with a randomly generated UUID (version 4) is extremely low, approximately 1 in 2.71 x 10^18. This means that even generating a billion UUIDs per second for 85 years would only give a 50% chance of a collision occurring." The probability of, for example, error when stored on disk, or when transferred over a network, is hugely higher than this.

09.05.2026 - 18:39:56 <anon> tldr people at a startup don't understand fundamental concept of UUID, pay multiple full time salaries for something a single line of code can do
