Why did Redpanda rewrite Apache Kafka? (with Christina Lin)

Picked one by one from a mixed channel. Transcript check: both title readers certain; 2 of 5 sampled certain picks confirmed by transcript, none failed. Channel rule: Include only technical deep-dive episodes whose title names a specific language, database, engine, protocol or architecture and whose content explains how it is designed or works (e.g. Zig, Odin, Gleam, Hack/Skip, Bevy, Jupyter architecture, bitemporal databases, Kafka). Exclude AI-trend, industry-opinion, burnout, community/career and vague product-pitch episodes.
