This entire article reads like a tutorial about how to make poor decisions.

I mean, if I want to eat a cake, and I know how to make a cake, I'm not going to pull up a recipe for brownies and try to make a cake out of them. This guy made some really bewildering choices; the list of things he clearly wants to do is both silly and frustrating.

"I want to write a site using Django that uses full-text search and multiple-table JOINs so that it takes longer than 30 seconds to load a single page, and Google App Engine won't let me!"

Brilliant.
