- Jgrubb 15y agoDeveloped in four days, don't forget that part.
- kennu 15y agoIt just sounds like a huge gamble. It would be quite lucky to get everything working by chance on the first try, without any bottlenecks in any part of the newly created config.
- GFischer 15y agoI guess he took away some good lessons from this, since his "morals of the story" say: * Do not accept responsibility for anything that you had to do in a very limited time. * Do not accept the job if the timeline is short, the work is big and the load is heavy. * Load test your application no matter what the cost. If they want to get them all, they need to pay for them all. Failing is hard, but I'm sure he learned :)
- gbog 15y agoI'd add "don't ever change your techno 4 days before you go on TV"
- skormos 15y agoSeriously, the article should've been titled "Why You Can't Deploy Publicly Available Apps in Four Days".
- sylvinus 15y agoyes to me this is the craziest part.
