I think the problem is that there are very few suitable length articles that are available for you at no cost, and the debate has been suffering from a lack of understanding in the widest sense of the problem and so little can be found on any website that tries to make a commercial subsistence which is any way better than you scan reading SO randomly the day before you go to present to management for their architectural planning meeting. /s is I hope self evident Only seriously for my purposes, the use I get from the typical article on databases which I find is linked to from HN, is a reverse index to the better discussions, long after the discussion is off the front page here. I'm merely a little confused about the fact that widespread consternation of the quality of geek journalism for programmers is not much more than merely a occasional mention or moan. Genuinely is a good dose of cynicism in force, which is invisible to me? I understand that when I see a story about science intended for a general audience, then HN is likely to become home to much greater detail and depth in discussion. But with a subject line arguing generalised conclusion from a subject matter of database architecture? Sometimes I think that I'm confused about whether I'm supposed to be confused about the point of the TFA.
