I think the really important ones are redundancy and offline pre-computation. If some piece of information is used in a transformed way in several places then it might be better to store the different versions instead of computing them on the fly.

I do create many lists, but was this just a great thing for Reddit or could it be "copied" for other sites.

In actuality what Steve described made perfect sense. You use relational databases for the basics and non-relational databases for everything you plan on fiddling with. Like all methods of storing data they both have their ups, downs, and (intended) purpose. They’re using both relational and non-relational databases.

I can see the advantage when it comes to adding new features and not having to alter database tables but I can't imagine how complicated it would make writing a query. For me, a normalised, relational database would be the way forward all day. I can’t help but think the database structure they’re using is really messy.
