it's weird that you think it's a sales pitch, when i ended it by pleading for other people to share writeups of their similar solutions. i know they exist, and i know people who are desperate to use them.

if it came across as a sales pitch, i def missed the target somehow, apologies.

Apologies if that sounded too cynical. I didn't mean that the general argument sounded "sales-ey", just that a CTO writing about how their company's implementation is better is not taking a thousand-foot objective view of the upsides and downsides.

In this case, I do think 1.0 and 2.0 are flawed names that imply one supercedes the other, when really it's a choice between scalability to levels most companies don't need at the cost of complexity most companies don't want.
