I've been reading Daring Fireball every day for years, but there's no more insight nowadays; only mean Apple fanboyism and snark. Is this the same man who at one time wrote insightful pieces like And Oranges ( http://daringfireball.net/2006/06/and_oranges ) ?

Isn't the real problem attempting to build an abstraction that lets programmers assume the datacenter won't go down? Aren't you better off building a system like Google's Megastore/BigTable that assumes datacenters go down, and handling it in software?

The obvious downside is, of course, that you'll have to rewrite all your software, but doesn't that give higher reliability at the end of the day?

Disclosure: I work for Google, but on stuff totally disconnected with any of this.
