> I pulled this chapter together from dozens of sources that were at times somewhat contradictory. Facts on the ground change over time and depend who is telling the story and what audience they're addressing.
You know old time journalists had a solution to this. Interviewing subjects with first hand knowledge.
I know I rag on highscalability a lot, but I feel like they deserve it. They've written multiple articles about topics in which I would be a first person resource (Reddit and Netflix), and not once have they ever contacted me or anyone I worked with for an interview.
