A huge, dark, grim figure approached me, seized me with its long bony arms and made me see all the vanity of the world we are living in.

Bloated database engines, useless ACID requirements, meaningless joins are now in the past for me.

I decided to move to NoSQL.

  4. @Corey: the whole Internet had been buzzing about that NoSQL thing for a year. Now every database blog writes about NoSQL and none really believes it only because it’s April 1!
