I have that wish for humanity: I'd really like people to use words that are in proportion with what they describe.

Things like: "we're dead" (when we just talk about loosing a contract or even closing one company), "it's totally catastrophic" (when someone cannot make it to a meeting, or the vegetables you had planned for dinner are not available anymore at the groceries).

Come on.

Talking about "worst holy war" for tooling trends - sorry, not for me, even for the purpose of creating a catchy headline or of underlining a point.

Oh and yes: I use both NoSQL and SQL, sometimes in conjunction in the same system.
