You know it’s going to be an interesting day when Chris McCann’s “Startup Digest”  newsletter reads “Beware: this is another Larry Chiang event.”
Larry Chiang is this eccentric guy who has a blog, http://whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com with over 300 articles (somewhere) about startup founder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We wouldn&#8217;t care as much about NoSQL if it wasn&#8217;t called NoSQL. Even the word itself is triggering existential crises among some very smart, seasoned people. 
But why?
&#8230;because the term NoSQL encapsulates just about every phase of database innovation in the last decade. 
The inspiration for this post came from reading Chip and Dan Heath&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a solid collection of tips and anecdotes from my experiences, as well as some from accomplished large-scale architects such as  Ryan Rawson, James Hamilton, and Bradford Cross.
Enjoy!

Amazingly though, current database products are still being driven by technology standards from the pre-Internet era. Which means that data-centric businesses, and other businesses who find themselves pursuing data-centric opportunities, are demanding something more.

		<description><![CDATA[Using logs is now as easy as producing them.
Logging is perhaps the least sexy part of writing software, yet it&#8217;s surprisingly important. There&#8217;s lots of boring stuff that causes heated arguments (like whitespace, build systems, and version control). But no-one has impassioned, snarky blogs or tweets about what format your logs should be in. Much [...]]]></description>
