This is eweek's week-late coverage of something others have already covered, better:

It's just coverage of someone complaining that Google's "stack" isn't buzzword compliant. Given that software really isn't fractally buggy (http://www.andyozment.com/papers/Ozment_and_Schechter-Milk_O...) why not favor infrastructure that's been through the wringer rather than skipping from one buzzword-compliant "stack" to another, as the veering flaw of trade rag punditry dictates?

"I'm no programmer and can't speak to the qualitative differences of writing software with JSON versus Big Table."

That's just embarrassing.

This guy is bullshitting
