@ludicity @TindrasGrove Databases definitely have fewer disagreement in definitions (and arbitrary definitions are pretty rare) because SQL is standardized but they aren’t immune to it, either.

For example, SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation means different things in Postgres and MySQL. And some of MySQL’s consistency guarantees are only truly guaranteed up to some level of write throughput to a given table. It’s wild out there.

@ludicity @jamie YES!!

It’s really easy to tell who’s full of it because they try to sell ZT as a product, not as an architectural philosophy.

They *want* it to be a product, because it’s possible to “achieve” implementing a product. You can’t “achieve” a philosophy. You just improve your process, incrementally, for ever and ever.
