It's nice to see someone from a big public-facing operation straightforwardly describing the mistakes made during a tech project. I learn a lot more about real-world development from reading about the hacks and errors than I do from the much more common "We used this technology because it gave us this cool feature" style of writeup. It's also more dramatic.

(Recently, a HN comment caused me to replace ImageMagick with GraphicsMagick. Cut 50% of my request times for less than 5 minutes of work -- 2 lines of code had to change. Where have you been all my life?) Yay for sharing information.
