Vitess is "a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL."
Come on, folks. Never put out a press release without a simple description about what your thing even is.
- teraflop 5y agoIt's not a press release, it's a blog post targeted at people who use the software.
- teach 5y agoAnd yet it was posted on Hacker News, where presumably most of the visitors do not use it.
- kevinmgranger 5y agoIs the submitter the author of the blog post?

- tshaddox 5y agoAnd yet it received enough votes to be on the front page, meaning enough visitors were aware of it or interested enough to spend 5 seconds investigating what it is!
- heyoni 5y agoRight….or you know, bots.
- tshaddox 5y agoSure, could be. Could even be full on HN solipsism where I’m the only real user and everyone else is a bot.
- heyoni 5y agoYou’ve never noticed how some posts get way more upvotes than comments? Especially those introducing a product?
- nurgasemetey 5y agoIt is ridiculous if it is. I thought, HN was protected from such manipulations.
- ksec 5y agoMay be I should have included it in the title. ( But HN also has a rule for title not being edited ). It is too late now, HN was down for about an hour and it is now outside the editing window. And while I do agree there should be a description on the front page of any project ( I am usually the one one rant about it ), I dont think such description is necessary in every changelog or release note.
- askdba 5y agoWe feel the same way, thanks.
