Comment Comment by sitkack I am both embarrassed and disappointed with the negativity this post has attracted.A litanny of "gotchas", where someone attempts to best the OP. What about x, y and z? It can't possibly scale. Twitter is so much more than this, etc.The OP isn't making the assertion that Twitter should replace their current system with a single large machine.The whole thread paints a picture of HN like it is full of a bunch of half-educated, uncreative negative brats.To the people that encourage a fun discussion, thank you! Great things are not built by people who only see how something cannot possibly work. parent sitkack 3 years ago
