Writing an eventually consistent database is hard, it maybe fine for Linear's use cases, but not knowing if my updates made it to the server (aka my team),is problematic. The sync lags have created untold problems in other projects I have worked for, so I always go for a synchronous solution. All the fancy stuff comes out only if it's absolutely needed. I'd rather optimize my server to be blazing fast, and have the user "suffer" network latency.
