It's a bit disconcerting to see these write-ups from people who have never worked on a distributed system before.

We've seen where that leads (diaspora). Do the kids of today not have older mentors anymore, to give them a nudge when they're missing the base by a mile?

Not 'how to', just 'some things to consider'.

Yes, you're right, thanks. I was going to write more about architecture and features too, but it was getting long so I'll save those for a future post.
