I think your response in that thread was sufficient. If you feel it was insufficient, that thread would be the correct place to continue the discussion or further clarify any misinformation where people may actually it.
People rarely admit when they are wrong and you don't have a right to (or even a reasonble expectation of) any such admission in this context. Harassing them about it in other threads is not a positive contribution to the discussion or the community.
- throwusawayus 5y agohe accused me of making a gross simplification. i responded, perhaps unkindly. but at no point have i "harassed" him. github's outages have made my life difficult. planetscale's pricing scheme has also burned me. i am not just attacking this guy at random. based on upvote points i can conclude many people do think i am contributing positively to this discussion. please refrain from tone-policing me. i don't see any technical comments from you in this discussion whatsoever so how exactly are your comments positively contributing?
- shkkmo 5y agoI already explained that the issues was not your tone, but your attempt to revive an argument from a different, unrelated thread, in this one.
- throwusawayus 5y agoi did so because it is directly relevant to this topic! the person who for many years was directly responsible for github's databases, and later their overall infrastructure, recently made a horrendously inaccurate statement about the industry's most popular managed database offering this shows either a severe lack of technical understanding, or a willingness to make deliberate technical misstatements now github is down literally every single day due to database problems. it is very relevant! accountability is important!
