    I was interested in bcachefs years ago, but Kent seems to keep shooting himself in the foot when it comes to getting any traction with it.

      It’s not as bad as it seems. He just doesn’t know how valuable working with the provided structure is yet. A lot of innovative thinkers are used to questioning, bending, and tinkering with the rules. He’s just still learning how necessary the existing structure is.
