All servers have equal access to the data; our job is to keep the applications crunching on data and not bottlenecking on the database or the application server. Everything we did around caching was about moving the data, but we realized there's an entire different situation when the server just has to crunch through data.

If we can't find ways for people to get rich [in software development], we're not going to attract the best and brightest to the industry.

It's a pretty amazing jump technologically for us.

The number of things that we count as free today that used to cost money [such as TCP/IP] are quite significant.
