Even though I had done it before, I had never heard the term sharding before joining Google (early 2003) so I always thought the term originated there.

Posted by: Neil | October 4, 2007 2:24 AM I am not sure if I am misreading this - but are you suggesting that a top down, water fall process works better then an agile /iterative development approach?

Curved lines are visibly flexible and can communicate agility and reactivity. Well, when I was walking my dog in the summer of 2003, I laughed too when I first thought about the idea….

There was a healthy amount of capital ($20-30B annually) invested in VC funds during the 2003-2008 timeframe. Yes, it was less than the $100B+ that came in ’99-00 but that was bubble driven aberration no matter how you look at it. In the mid 2000′s VC’s were largely prospering.
