Popular is not necessarily the same thing as valuable Fair enough, but we're not talking about "Why does Vista suck?" Maybe he chose the wrong example to make his point. But the only other example he chose was Python vs Perl, for which he cited his own blog post in which he hyperbolically characterized that question as "Sharks vs Gorillas". That's not a rational argument. That's refusing to reconsider your position and engaging in fallacies to justify your position. They're just fluff questions that drown out the important work of solving actual problems. Like. maybe, avoiding database development mistakes made by application developers? |

Like. maybe, avoiding database development mistakes made by application developers?
Nobody's saying don't post that information. Just, don't post it on Stack Overflow. There's plenty of other places to post long-form pieces about general discussion questions. The best of which is probably a blog. If I want to avoid database development mistakes I can google for that question pretty easily. I don't need to go trawling through Stack Overflow to find that sort of generic advice, and I don't need to drown out other people's legitimate questions with my own fluff question asking for a rehash of widely-known database development practices which I could have found elsewhere.
