The article isn't really "an article" but it's an email newsletter I send out. I'm quite surprised to see it on the frontpage of HN lol.
So what you're reading is one of my emails.
It's meant to be more of a summary with additional links to sources where people can read more if they're interested (emailing people long-form articles doesn't work well as a content format from what I've seen - even ignoring the length limit that email has).
I'll add in some more links for additional reading (like the high scalability post) to give some more detail for people interested.
OK, I guess any post on this site is dissected a bit too much - looking for insight that was sometimes never even meant to be there. It is usually a good thing, as we expect anything making it to the front page of HN to contain some profound knowledge. Sometimes a popular title referring to an interesting topic can gain a lot of up-votes as well, and then the criticism can be harsh :-)
Author of the article here.
Totally agreed. Apologies for that!

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
