neo4j: The Batch Inserter and the sunk cost fallacy by Mark Needham.
From the post:
About a year and a half ago I wrote about the sunk cost fallacy which is defined like so:
The Misconception: You make rational decisions based on the future value of objects, investments and experiences.
The Truth: Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it.
Over the past few weeks Ashok and I have been doing some exploration of one of our client’s data by modelling it in a neo4j graph and seeing what interesting things the traversals reveal.
Taking his own advice reduced a load time from 20 to 2 minutes.
Worth your time to read and consider.
