Just found out that in 2013 I used Redis as a main database for all of my side projects (of highly varying type). Planning for a rewrite with SQLAlchemy/Postgres I always ended up passing a python distionary to hmset (pairing it with json.encode/decode).

That reminds me of trying to put Design Patterns to good use in Perl programs after reading GoF book. Steve Yegge gets it:

The only people who routinely get excited about Design Patterns are programmers, and only programmers who use certain languages. Perl programmers were, by and large, not very impressed with Design Patterns. However, Java programmers misattributed this; they concluded that Perl programmers must be slovenly, no good bachelors who pile laundry in their closests up to the ceiling.
