⚠️ deprecated since version MongoDB: Server 8.0 ⚠️ Hedged reads are deprecated in MongoDB version 8.0 and will be removed in a future release. So like… she still works, but she's on her way out, no cap. Use her with that in mind, or better yet, don't be surprised when she leaves the group chat permanently 😭
