I joined Hacker News 6 and 1/2 years ago and it's been a great community to be a part of. I was one of the early karma leaders and I remember writing a blog post (hilariously embarrassing now) about reaching the top spot with ~650 karma points. I'm sure tptacek and patio11 beat that nowadays before their morning coffee :) I've only had about 300 visits to DevOpsU.com from HN so far, but of those, over 100 signed up on the email list to be notified of this book. Given my history with HN and the early interest from here, naturally this is where I'm launching my first book. And here's a special early-bird HN discount link that's good for today's launch: http://gum.co/taste-test/hn http://gum.co/taste-test/hn It's very important to me that this be available to everyone that wants it, so if you're a student or for any reason can't afford to buy the book, please contact me: matt@nanobeep.com Of course, if you can afford it and it will be a win for you, please buy it and support the creation of more business-focused devops training. Cheers! Matt

I've seen your entry while I was working on a highly long and complicated salt state. And compelled to read it. Graphics of the site is great, book seems to be a good one too and possibly very helpful for someone new to configuration management mess :). I've run over all four systems to choose one for my tastes so it would be a bit late for me. Thus 39 bucks is a bit high for me to re-run over CM ;). Sorry about that. I've read your blog posts but a bit disappointed of quantity of them. I would really like to see more of your posts. They seem to be compelling and helpful. By the way It's a shame that our (devops or sysadmin guys) experiences are this alike and all the mistakes are replicated from corporation to corporation.
