Does the Database Community Have an Identity Crisis?

I read the link.

As a working DBA, it's breathless drivel.

Unless you're an academic trying to get a grant or tenure, of course.

What a singularly useless response.

Disagreeing is fine, but "breathless drivel"? Come on, this isn't reddit.

I couldn't put it better myself and it's sad others are so shortsighted you got instantly shut down simply for not elucidating the blaringly obvious.

We have a researcher saying hey you DBAs who are busy building using existing systems should be making your own systems; and in the same breathe acknowledging that takes 25+ people and a never ending bucket of money. Riiiiight.

Boo hoo SQL + DocumentDB isn't enough? I never saw any justification for the premise.
