I'm disappointed to see that you're standing up for posting extremely biased political misinformation on HN and shutting down the one person attempting to provide source, context, and framing of the user's intent. Please just

Your post history indicates that you're not only Russian [1][2], but that you've also been dismissive of the "Russia narrative" since details first surfaced [3][4], and you have a very vibrant history of being vehemently

I didn't feel it was obvious. The top post on HN right now is about PostgreSQL 10 features, of which the very first feature listed is "Native Partitioning" (and it's not about sharding). Relational databases have been us

Just do a bit of digging. Both names dropped appear to be accurate from usernames/profiles. Matt did indeed leave MongoDB for Google, that much is accurate.

My assumption is based on the demographics and salaries of the average HN user from the numerous polls that always pop up. It tends to be 20-35 year old white males residing on the west coast of the US where salaries begin at $100k+ for b

Every time work/life balance comes up I get so damn annoyed with this uniquely tech-centric viewpoint. You've got people bringing home $150-350k/yr plus every imaginable perk fretting over the idea of putting in more than 40

Absolutely. RethinkDB was technically a far superior product but lacked the marketing and fanboyism that MongoDB orchestrated so effectively. Today, Docker is following MongoDB's playbook. HN Hiring Trends of MongoDB vs. Docker: http:

Our company has been fully remote for 3 years now and I don't think most programmers are capable of remote work. Poor communication, inconsistent work schedules, spending way too much time down rabbit holes that would have been avoided

Of course they can, but an extremely profitable well-oiled small company rarely gets acquired. You need to have way more employees than necessary and running at a loss. Slack runs a chat app and has 870 employees . It's beyond absurd.
