This is a cool effort but their claims are wildly misleading as their benchmarks aren't fair across the board:

For example:

- BenchmarkVoidPut runs a single O(n) sized transaction

- BenchmarkLMDBPut runs a single O(n) sized transaction

- BenchmarkBadgetPut runs O(n) O(n) sized transactions (!!!)

I made a local change so that all Put benchmarks ran O(n) O(1) sized transactions and the results were quite different: Void was the slowest, followed by LMDB, Bold, LevelDB, then Badger.

I'd also wager the LMDB author would also (lovingly!) tell us we're holding it wrong

Trail of Bits has a nice summary[0] on that (they're discussing this[1] book).

> As productive as the top 1% are, their earnings are equally depressing. The top seven participants in the Facebook data set averaged 0.87 bugs per month, earning an average yearly salary of $34,255; slightly less than what a pest control worker makes in Mississippi.
