These examples always end up being "we moved from MySQL to NoSQL" rather than "We moved from Sybase ASE to NoSQL" That's because there's a zillion MySQL installs out there, with users that talk about them. On the contrary, there are a lot less Sybase installs out there and their (corporate) users don't talk about them. Go figure that you only hear about MySQL. But please, keep on spreading the FUD; that just gives us the edge of using a free, OSS, system.

The article gives us no reason to suppose he actually knew or understood the problem Digg had. He just shows that it was not a trivial one, as that would've been easy to solve.
