#2I might be nitpicking, but your blog's permanent and space taking headers make the user experience very unwelcoming, and make the whole site feel unwieldy -- slow scrolling and a good amount of space being taken over for no reason.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! It's not my blog actually, we are a startup (hence the top bar for users), we will take the feedback on board, maybe we got a little excited with the size of the topbar :)

#4I don't understand how this got to the front page. Would anybody upvote an article about how adding indexes to a table in MySql improved performance?

Hi there!
I've been a Glipho user since its recent launch... and I'd definitely say that you are being nitpicking :P
This is a newborn platform. Even though, it has a lot of things to do, it is a nice approach. You can't expect it to be a perfect fit in every way yet, can you?
Nevertheless, this post was about MongoDB, why focusing on usability?

I think the point here is that many people don't realise indexes matter so much in MongoDB. Their documentation doesn't go out the way to push indexes as a must. That coupled with the ease at which you can just start using it compared to say, MySQL, means that people find it interesting.
I will point out that while I wrote this, it was more to try and ensure other people don't make the same mistakes.

I partially agree,
I don't see how one would not find this obvious after reading the mongo docs which explicitly say
> Indexes enhance query performance, often dramatically ...

Exactly,the article doesn't really have anything much to say. Overhyped,headlines all over again.

#9I am convinced that in any production database cluster If you are given the option you should disable table scans. MongoDB gives you that option, you should use it.

I totally agree with you. What is the lesson here ?
You need indexes to speed up queries in any structured data storage. Uh, great but I am worried about the glipho backend then. All this to get a bit of advertising.
