antirez left Redis approximately 4.4 years ago, focusing on writing and spending time with family. However, he found a renewed interest in coding and returned to the tech world. He reached out to the new Redis CEO, proposing to work on reshaping the company’s relationship with the community and core development focus. Responding to questions about Redis changing its license, he explained it was not a decision, expressing a broad view on software licensing. Antirez believes Redis can benefit from new features like vector capabilities, AI, and embedding searching, which could be integrated into the core. He is excited to contribute again and engage with the Redis community.
