at a previous workplace, every new hire would discover the handwritten bubblesort in our codebase, freak out, and submit a pull request to fix it.

and every new hire got taken to the whiteboard to learn about sort algorithm performance: bubblesort is O(n) in the best case.

and in our codebase, the data being sorted fit that best case (the data was already sorted or almost sorted).

The problem that I have yet to see DoorDash et. al. solve is that they're injecting a middle-man where one doesn't need to exist. The typical delivery model of a local restaurant worked just fine without them, but with a third entity holding their hand out for money in that system it becomes net negative for pretty much everyone involved.

a food logistics service should exist, as (if done well) it should scale better than local restaurants doing their own delivery.

The GitHub README and docs mention that Gazette has been running in production for 5 years, but I don’t see any mention of _where_. I assume this began as an internal project at some company - does anyone know which?

it came out of arbor.io (now part of liveramp.com)
