A very well-written article that promotes thinking, or better yet, re-thinking. The main point to take away is this: don't take for granted current, commonly-used constructs and architectures, they're the result of decades of tradeoffs designed to tip-toe technology's constraints. Today most of those constraints are long gone and the assumptions don't hold anymore, if we could just forget the bad parts instead of accepting them as gospel and use these five decades of experience to build something new and better, maybe we could finally stop our current methodologies from curbing our progress. Kudos to the author.
