I'm not trying to give grief here. I respect Jeff highly and found this article to be insightful. If people dislike my comment for its tone, I accept it. It was probably a bit overly antagonistic.

This is where the distinction is made: "Who in their right mind would willingly choose to work with a Chaos Monkey? Sometimes you don't get a choice; the Chaos Monkey chooses you." But, the final takeaway point of the post blurs that distin

Right, I agree that is the main point of the post. However, generalizing Netflix's naming of their fault-inducing system into unexpected failures dilutes the meaning of such name. Jeff's introduction to Netflix's system is what made this po

The blog post seems to imply Stack Exchange is working with the Chaos Monkey when it really isn't. They didn't really build a system that randomly shuts down servers or services. The difference is subtle but important.

Eliminating the payment confirmation page to optimize the funnel seems shortsighted. If they want to do one-click purchase, they should clearly label the buy button to indicate this, otherwise, show a payment confirmation page. I was also s

Open datasets are hard to come by. It's potentially easier to find problems to solve by looking at the available datasets than seeking datasets for the problems you wish to solve.

Quora seems to be taking this approach. Except, after the initial request, mutations make the server send rendered HTML fragments instead of raw JSON back to the client. I believe this is due to the fact that their view templates are coded

Quora's Webnode2 and LiveNode[1] systems are very innovative and simplify the creation of real-time web applications. In fact, I believe Quora's choice of tackling the Q&A space is merely to demonstrate the power of these two systems. O
