How do you guys handle the constant shifting of analytic schema that happens when handling a fast iterating application?

The UI colorizer is what I thought of immediately, too. If we took a poll I suspect the majority would be thinking of the Amazon service That's just personal projection, and is as irrelevant as an argument beginning with, "I think most people would agree that..." Personally, regardless of Amazon vs UI hack, I'm really tired of ambiguous naming in tech projects.
I'm much more tired of comments on ambiguous naming. There are at least two other people in my city who have my name, and many more who share either my first or last name. Somehow life goes on and this is not a topic of major controversy. But when two pieces of software have similar names, people just can't resist commenting endlessly and upvoting this content-free bikeshedding at the expense of actual discussion.
Of course, it gets even more ridiculous as the words get more common, eg see recent discussions about 'Paper' or 'Layout'

The title should say 'Amazon Redshift'. At first I thought its going to be about redshift vs f.lux: http://jonls.dk/redshift/ Edit: Why the downvote? redshift (and flux) exist since before 2010, whereas Amazon Redshift got introduced just in 2012. I think it is reasonable to assume that someone who has never heard of Amazon Redshift would think of the open source project first (that exists in various distributions as…
Redshift is like a prison, but with excellent accommodations. It's a great platform but it pretty much the perfect example of vendor lock-in.

Amplitude here - Most of our dashboards are powered separately from Redshift. We offer Redshift access as a way for our customers to answer more complex questions not offered by the dashboards.
Why not power your dashboards with it? What do you use? I am considering using a columnar data store (maybe redshift) with a BI tool like bimeanalytics.com specifically to do dashboards.

Because why would a company make a blog post on what color adjuster their company uses, and if they did, why would anyone care?
Not to mention that if you are not already familiar with the company, you probably would not know what sort of blog it was just by looking at what was presented on the HN frontpage. Could have been some random joe-schmoes blog.

I'm presented with information to parse about technology topics daily. Sometimes, I have to search for them and have all sorts of name collisions.
I never, ever search for information about you.

One man's bike shedding is another thousand men's irritating trend. Personally, I very rarely see anyone called out for the trendy names and awful, buzzword-laden non-descriptions that infest projects.

If we took a poll I suspect the majority would be thinking of the Amazon service - I know I was. The date the projects were introduced isn't necessarily relevant.
