It's like execs are desperate to force blockchain on every problem because it's the hip new thing. Even though most problems don't need blockchains and there are far better and simpler solutions.
Similar to the nosql fad. Who needs ACID compliance? If things fail silently and we lose a few transactions here and there, what could go wrong? Get with the times. The cool kids are into nosql now.
- booleandilemma 8y agoIt’s all about NewSql now. The cool kids recently figured out ACID is important after all.
- henvic 8y agoThe playground is all about running critical systems with databases that are ACID compliance for the past two months, instead of 23 years. After all, obviously you need webscale, and something that is working successfully in the industry for so long must be outdated by now as structured data is antiquated by definition (even though immutability sounds cool). lol
