Someone's been reading that Rasmus interview.
OK, I don't have a complete guide, but I think the steps go something
like this:
1: Turn off critical thought processes and stop thinking for yourself.
2: Denormalize all your data ahead of time.
3: Stop looking at tweakers.net benchmarks.
4: Install MySQL 3.23.xx. After all, you won't need any fancy
features. MyISAM for ALL!
5: Run your server on RAID0 on IDE drives with untested memory and CPU
6: Backup by copying the files out from under the live running MySQL
server.
7: Don't test your restores.
8: Buy all your hardware based on the numbers on the packaging. Pay no
attention to those people who actually test hardware. They've obviously
been bought off.
9: Say goodbye to data coherency...
