@far33d @Surfinskatin Amazing! My first @archers_of show was at trinity college but I think it must have been in 1994 or 1995?

@arungupta @mjasay ORMs forced people to create a class for every entity in that diagram. With MongoDB, you'd cut that in 1/10th, replacing all of those ORM classes with things. like maps and lists on a far smaller number of classes. The simplification of code was massive. 10x win.

Nice image of what driving a relational database "car" looks like. From 0 to 60 in...oh, wait. First we have to join/assemble the car from all those different tables. 😬😇

@arungupta @mjasay This image was from the same deck. I think this was Magento's schema for a product catalog entry or Oracle's model for a customer address. We'd routinely see people with relational data models like this where we could reduce the number of tables from 100s to 10.

@forjared @mjasay I think the picture exaggerates the sentiment a bit, but sorta conveys the point. I think a side-by-side picture would be more compelling. Do you have any thing like that?

@mjasay @arungupta The analogy was a parking garage. In a relational parking garage, we disassemble your car, put your steering wheel in a bin of steering wheels etc. when you want to leave, we have to reassemble your car. In the Document parking garage, we leave you car intact; just park it.

@mjasay @arungupta ha. i'm going through some of my archives and i came across this other slide which i think we can all agree is one of the greatest slides ever made.

Anybody else want a #bluesky? We’ve got a few today

I’d love a bluesky invite if anybody’s got one!

@mmullany @Google This isn’t fair to all of the other parts of slides that are also the worst.

It looks like @google hired whoever screwed up bulleting in Microsoft Word to redo bullets in Google docs. For the first time ever , it now loses track of indentation levels and adds random padding. Bulleting that just works used to be one of the few advantages of using Docs.

I see Elon got to the “Twilio” line item in their operating costs and asked why that bill was so high…

Just discovered Noodles as a Service (NaaS) today. We need one of these for our building on the VMware campus. While we’re at it, TaaS - Tacos as a Service - would be good. Anything else?

@AmandaBlev ❤️

Today, our 11 yr old asked us what it was like in the 1900’s…

Kellogg’s has hired a new SVP and Global CMO. They’re focused on Raisin Bran awareness.

@mikeroySoft @FreakyFwoof @VMwareFusion Is that a bug? I always thought you just existed in more dimensions than the rest of us or something…

@FreakyFwoof @VMwareFusion Totally can. Works on Win 11 Arm too. Also tested it with the wireless iPhone camera sharing, and that sort of works, but I think we have a bug or two to address, at least in my testing (see screenshot... lol)

OH: the biggest thing missing from our house is a 100 yard long obstacle course between the kids room and ours.

@NiranEC Have you been to an enterprise infrastructure conference? Emotional detachment might be a step for many of the talks!
