Satire: swapping Raft for an LLM-style decision model tanks write throughput 99.98%

A satirical post claims Raft consensus was replaced with a 'JEV-style decision model' — quorum swapped for confidence scores, leader election replaced by the model evaluating each node's 'leadership potential'. Result: write throughput dropped 99.98%, 'but the cluster is finally making informed decisions.' It mocks the trend of forcing AI models into every layer of systems engineering.
