I like your summary much better. I tried reading the article and all I saw was "shitty", "shitty" and "shitty". The author needs to learn how to present information, ironically.

Sure, you don't need to be an expert to have an opinion. However I didn't come to Hacker News to read a stream of consciousness consisting of the word "shitty" and random screenshots.

iRODS is more of a distributed filesystem (thus presumably has more in common with GlusterFS, Ceph, RiakCS, MogileFS, etc). Dat is basically a generic, pluggable database replication tool.

Well you wouldn't call it product_id in that case.

This is an amusing amount of press over what is essentially a PHP application making a POST request to itself.

Why should we even have extensions in the first place? Ideally the filetype should be determined from metadata or scanning the header. (Speaking as someone who's had to fix image file processing bugs because the original coder trusted
