he accused me of making a gross simplification. i responded, perhaps unkindly. but at no point have i "harassed" him.

github's outages have made my life difficult. planetscale's pricing scheme has also burned me. i am not just attacking this guy at random.

based on upvote points i can conclude many people do think i am contributing positively to this discussion. please refrain from tone-policing me. i don't see any technical comments from you in this discussion whatsoever so how exactly are your comments positively contributing?

I already explained that the issues was not your tone, but your attempt to revive an argument from a different, unrelated thread, in this one.

i did so because it is directly relevant to this topic!

the person who for many years was directly responsible for github's databases, and later their overall infrastructure, recently made a horrendously inaccurate statement about the industry's most popular managed database offering

this shows either a severe lack of technical understanding, or a willingness to make deliberate technical misstatements

now github is down literally every single day due to database problems. it is very relevant! accountability is important!
