I don't think I can go on SW any more. I don't want to be a jerk, but it's like people over there are getting a prize for being completely ignorant to how things should work.
Nearly every newbie is completely unaware of other conversations going on currently, too. So many of the posts that I see are completely opposite of any best practices and when you mention that they act shocked as if they had never heard of such a thing... when ten other threads and thousands of previous ones are talking about what a dumb idea that would be right at the same time. Everyone seems to just throw their opinion over the wall and run away, no back and forth, no learning.
The issue is that the community isn't getting collectively smarter over time, but less informed. The more threads, the more references, the more examples that we get... the more incredibly solidified the best practices the less anyone seems to be aware of them. Years and years of "Why SAN doesn't make sense in the SMB" or "Why RAID 5 Died in 2009" (that was first published in 2007, that's a decade of knowledge at this point and as Robin pointed out in the article, it was old knowledge that he was presenting and nothing that storage people weren't all already aware of at that point) and people don't just make the mistakes then ask about it, but people who have been in the community for a while will post those things as reckless recommendations and then act as if they've never heard any reason why they don't make sense.
Every thread about SAN someone says this exact line "How do you do HA without a SAN" yet have no idea how they were going to do one with a SAN. Every. Damn. Time. Happened just twelve hours ago, like clockwork.
The community is failing to improve. A few people do, of course, but most of those improve and then come here. The percentage of people providing good feedback is decreasing while the number of "I didn't bother to do any research first including just paying attention or looking at threads that are related to me needs as they happen."
That whole virtual or not post is ridiculous. "I do 6 writes per minute to my database so it has to be physical. It takes 4 GB of RAM."
it wouldn't be bad if they listened to reason. Not knowing something isn't a problem (if you're new). But not listening when other people try to help is ridiculous.
I had an entire back and forth with some guy on SW who insisted that when your talking about PB of storage you have to run physically because of the latency introduced from virtualizing blah blah blah and so much more shit that I about rage quit the community as a whole.

Ended up drinking around town last night. All of the locals wanted me to come by and meet them and drink. Drank from around 5PM until midnight. And they all make homemade cognac and brandy. OMG I'm in rough shape. And at breakfast this morning they tried to make me do cognac shots before having coffee!! My wife did two shots of cognac at 9AM though
