]]> <![CDATA[Yes, ex-Twitter architect Blaine Cook knows what scalability means]]> If Twitter is one of the few large scale sites running on Ruby on Rails, what does its lack of robustness say in the endless debate about whether RoR is a good choice for large sites? Blaine Cook's comments sound like classic denial of RoR's shortcomings.

I'd love to use RoR -- I'm just afraid I'll end up with another Twitter.

You could call it hashCode. Get some stoned dudes to debate tech issues. They would make about as much sense as average tech blog commenters, and definitely more than Slashdot. Mix it up by changing the "cognitive enhancer" to suit the topic of the day. I look forward to Lisp: a Symbolic Discourse and Triple your productivity by doing a few lines of C.

This place is like a laundromat: to freely swap gossip about other people's dirty laundry while cleaning up stains on their own underwear.

For gossip mixed with "tech chops" will need to wait until Ted Dziuba starts a new blog.

Enjoy the hot air here, but don't put anything flammable in the dryers!

]]> <![CDATA[Yes, ex-Twitter architect Blaine Cook knows what scalability means]]> I'm too lazy to motivate over to LinkedIn, but I'm going to cut him a break. A) It's Valleywag. B) The article really is just a snarky rewording of Blaine's article. And C) He was dead on the money. I'm still trying to figure out what Blaine was trying to say in that post. That he couldn't architect a RoR implementation properly to have it scale on the Web? That Twitter, with no monetization scheme, wouldn't throw enough servers at the problem (the classic RoR solution?) He needs a lesson in pass-the-buck-so-someone-else-will-hire... -you.
