Maybe we should start a blog about all of the interesting bugs and challenges we encounter. It certainly is white-knuckle pretty often when running at scale. The number of devices, connections, features... I'm aging prematurely :P

A few articles would definitely be appreciated. Might even help with recruiting fresh blood.

Agree with Aloha. I wouldn't be too hard on the programmer (also, if I understand correctly it's not a database issue, but only with the 32-bit iOS client). I'd pat him on his back and say “you didn't think we'd get this big, eh?” ;-)
