Feel free to paste this from a couple days ago - no attribution required. "History always has valuable lessons to teach us. If you look at the NOSQL landscape in terms of players it is not dissimilar to the landscape in the early relational era (which includes the non-relational vendors). Many of those companies had success, rapid growth and then either got too uppity or made a strategic error and were acquired, often by Computer Associates"
I would modify it to emphasise that such acquisitions were usually done on the cheap. As to whether you should laugh or cry, some perspective here. There is a growing trend for companies to seek individuals who are "passionate about technology (or some derivative specialism thereof)" and I note a corresponding rise in the number of people branding themselves as such. I am passionate about my woman and passionate about Tottenham Hotspur Football club. More than enough emotional roller-coaster there but if it's not enough. Be passionate about your children, be passionate about your dog, be passionate about ending homelesness and hunger. Do not waste your emotions being passionate about technology. I would imagine that to do a PhD you need that to some extent but doing a PhD does not require you to immerse yourself in stupidity. Or you could dispense with all I just said http://www.frugal-cafe.com/public_html/frugal-blog/frugal-cafe-blogzone/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/forrest-gump-stupid-is-as-stupid-does.jpg On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 11:38 PM, daniela florescu <[email protected]> wrote: > I copy and paste here from Linkedin my conversation with one of the top > scientists of on of the top NoSQL databases: Couchbase…. > > "Please consider real world deployments, not academic endeavors....This > is still an inexact science” :-)))))))) > > > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > > Dana, > > Please consider real world deployments, not academic endeavors....This is > still an inexact science. > > On 6/2/15, 10:38 AM, Daniela Florescu wrote: > -------------------- > Dear, > > you have a query language implemented, and you have no specification > written for it !??? > > That's weird to say the least. > > I never heard of a programming language (because a query language is a > programming language...), whose specification is only in Powerpoint. > > Sorry, I don't have time. > > If you have a specification written, please send it to me, and I'll give > you an honest feedback. > > Best > Dana > > On 6/2/15, 10:33 AM, XXXXl wrote: > -------------------- > Daniela, > > Couchbase Connect 15 going on this week at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara. > You should check it out.
