About Benjamin Stein
Hi, my name is Ben and I'm the co-founder and CTO of Mobile Commons in New York City. This is my professional tumblelog. Expect to find lots of writing about open source, Ruby, mobile technology, and the like.
If you're more interested in pictures of urban chickens, beagles, my wife, or my baby, you should probably be reading http://benjaminste.in instead.
Never mind that real businesses track all of their data in SQL databases that scale just fine… By replacing MySQL or Postgres with a different, new data store, you have traded a well-enumerated list of limitations and warts for a newer, poorly understood list of limitations and warts, and that is a huge business risk… The sooner your company admits this, the sooner you can get down to some real work.
You said it, Ted Dziuba!
