Just wanted to come back and defend you (a little :-)
I read "if you have a million database connections then you are doing it wrong" less as a ad hominem attack and more as "if one is doing X one should try a different approach"
I did like the "architectural strategy" of I can call it that of batching the calls. It's "tricks" like that, expressed at this level that are somehow missing from the common software dev parlance. They are not in l33tcode tests, they don't fit into neat boxes but they are vital "common knowledge"
I wish I had a better term for these sort of optimisations.
Anyway. Thanks for the comment. Don't take the blowback personally - frankly I was surprised even if it was a small storm in a teacup.
