>Computers suck at networking. ... The day you network two computers together is the day you've opened yourself up to a world of hurt.

This is actually a pretty insightful comment, and something I haven't thought about in a number of years since networking disparate machines together to create a system in now so second nature to any modern software that we don't think twice about the massive amount of complexity we've suddenly introduced.

Maybe the mainframe concept wasn't such a bad idea, where you just build a massive box that runs everything together so you never get http timeouts or connection failed to your DB since they're always on.
