I've noticed a trend of naming articles "On $topic1, $topic2, and $topic3". Seems like a lazy way to title your article. Yeah, it tells us what your article is about, but not specifically what it's about. Just lists 3 topics that the author will somehow involve in their discussion.
- jrullmann 12y agoThat's fair. My runner up title was Scaling All the Things: An Honest Look at Limited and General Transactions. Better or worse?
- normloman 12y agoA little better. The current title includes the words honesty, transactions, and scaling, but didn't show how they were related. Your original title at least strings them into a coherent sentence that more accurately describes the content: how databases really perform in terms of scalability, and how transactions affect that scalability.
- jrullmann 12y agoMakes sense to me. Thanks for the feedback.
