I didn't read this article, but I really hate the tag line "done right". It expresses such a poor sense of humility, which is one of, or perhaps the most, important traits in the world of software

Yeah I got the same feeling but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. “Here’s how we did this. Feedback welcome” would seem more appropriate. Perhaps it doesn’t fit the hyper-aggressive mould of the would be titan of industry. That said their engineering blog seems to be down so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  adding "(for us)" would have taken the edge out of their title, I am thinking..

We didn't mean to be arrogant with the "done right" statement. In the background story we explain how we performed the same migration once again in the past, and we end up with data loss. So this was the time that actually "did it right". Many tutorials on the Internet that describe a similar process have flows that also lead to data loss.
