RE: A design philosophy question

"  So long as you slice vertically you are destined to a life of trying to
gain performance through hardware solutions.  If you'll slice horizontally
you'll see performance improve, your programs develop faster, and they'll
live longer."

Hi Martin,

I agree that your programs will run faster if you develop horizontally but I
am wondering what you mean by being able to develop programs faster and make
them live longer.  I guess I am thinking of building the programs around the
data base and if you develop your database horizontally you are destined for
longer development/maintenance and many short lived files because they can't
be easily expounded upon.
