very nice article! Before I was never sure what I could even use
dustmite for and rarely ever used it, but having been shown all
these use cases here gives me a lot of ideas for how to
potentially use it.
I really like all the diagrams and animations in the blog post
too, they make it a lot more intuitive to grasp what was being
done. Though I think some diagrams could have used a little more
labels on what the colors, shapes and numbers mean.
Also for the performance changes: what do the numbers mean in the
diagram there? Is higher better? What exactly is the unit of
these numbers? Should I even read it from top to bottom or from
bottom to top like usual git logs? Why did it jump from 487 to
200 and is that good or bad?
