That's quite some statement. Boy, would I have loved to live in a world where marketing rhetoric and scientific opinion were easier to distinguish.
- baggiponte 1y agoYeah they might be good but the marketing is really bold and, to a certain extent, arrogant if not outright disgusting.
- suyash 1y agoIt sounds totally illogical comment, all those technologies mentioned have only been growing in the last few years and specialised databases are disrupting old school SQL ones.
- mellosouls 1y agoAlso linking to an old HN comment to gloat about how wrong the doubters were is not a good look. There's an element of immaturity in the style that they should probably work on.
- inamorty 1y agoI concur, the tone is very off-putting.
