Speaking of one of the grand-daddys of reusable source, does anyone remember
the DECUS Tapes from the DEC community. There's still a lot of prior art
work to be found there.
You're confusing webapp data with commerical data. Sites like wikipedia.org and friendster.com
don't need to keep multi-indexes on multi-tables, they only need to update ONE record at a
time, with little interaction involved with other data tables. And most of the data stored is
static, and combined with simpler db fetches, makes for a faster site than you think.
And let's not forget about caching the compiled php code itself.
It may not be for the purist, but for the job, it works well.
Perhaps they realized that there's value in gosipping over
the coffeepots, durring 'break' times.
Engineers are used to kibizing on each other's projects.

You're all missing the point, this guy has no ethics... "I used robots.txt for info", care to think about that statement.
