Adam Bosworth’s recent podcast is well worth a listen.
Adam Bosworth: Database Requirements in the Age of Scalable Services
Lot’s of gems like how they made IE4 read everything, when he ‘got’ the web and building scalable databases.

I found this one of the most stimulating podcasts I’ve heard. Let me know your thoughts.
