Looking good so far
What a time to be in, when a recommendation from a course website is something that I want to blog about. My large scale web information course recommended the article as a "brutal criticism of MapReduce that is an interesting read".

The authors (note: Micheal Stonebraker has made too much money and therefore too many enemies) after getting deluged with comments, respond back to the comments on their first post with a fairly coherent response.

I really agree with their last point. How little knowledge is passed from generation to generation is pretty surprising and scary. Albeit, I've seen reimplementing the wheel several times.

Now, I hope I know better.
