Ridiculously sensationalist

• toddh 16y ago
  In what way?
  • jbooth 16y ago
    The whole way the thing's written. I hope the blog author is the voltDB guy's uncle or publicist or something because otherwise that is one heck of a man crush to hype this up that much. Not taking anything away from voltDB - haven't seen it, will try to see it, and encourage people to pursue stuff like that in general. But the article read like football announcers talking about Brett Favre.

      I guarantee he's not related in anyway. Did you read the whole thing? There are quite a few criticisms of it's operational model, limitations of SQL, limitations of using stored procedures only. What did you consider to be excessive sucking?

        Yeah, it was mostly the first few grafs that came across as excessively googley-eyed. I guess some people would see that as grabbing the reader.
        • toddh 16y ago
          Definitely. If you don't grab you may as well not write. And it wasn't googley-eyed as much as it was laying out what they claim to see how it held up later.
