I get your point: the deployment-to-development ratio has increased as we've streamlined development processes faster than deployment processes. I understand the underlying theme, Heroku is going to kickass in deployment. More power to you.
Here's what bothered me about this post:
- Scrum fanboyism. It was unexpected and threw me off track while I was reading. I felt it negatively detracted from your point.
- Capistrano bashing. You certianly gave Cap it's due, but calling it an "incremental improvement" compared to what you've got in store takes balls. We'll see how that pays off.
I know this is just a preface to some (hopefully) technical articles about your work, but on it's own, it's just fuzzy math and hype. Here's to some meat in the next one.
