Like, there’s another angle here: management, yeah?
Another way of reframing it is “maybe the folks hiring at planetscale know the inside baseball about GH infrastructure”. For example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isamlambert https://www.linkedin.com/in/isamlambert
- throwusawayus 5y agothis is my exact point: they hired the former head of GH infrastructure - literally the person directly responsible for all this at github for years - and made him their ceo github should have sharded years ago, every other large mysql user did so much earlier in their growth trajectory
- drewbug01 5y agoAh, that’s a more specific point than what you seemed to have been making before.
