Sadly these days (probably has been true for a long time) the first thing to do when reading an article is checking the authors ties to a topic, and what agenda they might be trying to push.
Since I already knew the company, when I saw the headline and their domain, my immediate reaction was: "Of course they would say that. They are a software vendor!"
- rstuart4133 7y agoMy technique is to read the comments on HN first. Only this time it almost failed me. The top comments were lamenting on how misleading the headline is. They were correct of course - but nonetheless it is in in-depth article on Apache Kafa discussing it's origin story, use cases, how it was used at Linkedin, and most interesting how it used to replace ACID applications with eventual consistency. All in all, a very good article, despite the lead in waffle at the start.
