Twitter's Been Served

with 2 comments

The beast has stirred. DHH makes some good points, 11,000 requests per second (spikes) are going to be hard for any web app to handle. Right? That said, he returns to his ever pleasant self with, “It’s disappointing to hear that they’ve forsaken that opportunity for an arms-crossed alternative.” Yep. If it’s open source, you can’t point out it’s flaws, unless you have a patch ready to go? Is that what he’s saying? Because…well…that’s absurd. Communication of issues is the same thing as kicking someone in the balls, right? Pointing out a flaw…that’s like…totally wrong. Sharing experiences is FUD. Clearly. (there’s some sarcasm here folks, wait for it) shame on you arms crossed Twitter developer. Shame. Shame on you.

Open source…where the source is open, and the mouths are closed.
