TPS Go Up: Caveman Brain Joy of Switching a Table to Unlogged

Description

A meme showing a caveman-style Wojak character (reminiscent of prehistoric Fred Flintstone aesthetic) with a smug, satisfied expression, wearing a spotted animal skin garment. Bold white text at the bottom reads 'TPS GO UP'. Below the image is a caption: 'Figure 1: me changing a table to unlogged'. The meme uses the 'monke brain' or primitive satisfaction format to represent the primal joy a database engineer feels when they set a PostgreSQL table to UNLOGGED mode, which removes write-ahead logging (WAL) overhead and dramatically increases transactions per second (TPS) -- at the cost of data durability after a crash. The caveman aesthetic perfectly represents abandoning sophisticated data safety for raw speed
