    IMO, the seven principles and tips exposed by Scott in the first part of the talk are much more important to the talk as a whole while the software that he demo'ed (ordasity, pica) are examples of application of those principles in a clean and clever design. Those principles exposed in the first part will certainly be more valuable to the general distributed systems engineer in the long term, even tough I liked the demos too. :)
