  Actually, you can never use "popular" to find the "best" of something because they aren't related. However, a "What technologies people on Hacker News use" can be a possible outcome.

I'm an office experience consultant at a fast growing, venture-funded startup that you've more than likely heard of. Right now I am managing the Caffeine Portfolio and am using arduinos at each coffee pot (http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/2013/coffeebot-monitoring-with-arduino/ http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/2013/coffeebot...) in order to monitor the quantity. I wired these up to a node.js backend which will take the quantities of each pot and check them against a threshold. I track and visualize these changes using CoffeeScript, d3.js and HTML5 canvas. If the coffee pot quantity is below a certain threshold, I have the node.js call out to our Rails-backed RESTful API which sends messages through our RabbitMQ setup to asynchronously dispatch a TaskRabbit so someone can come and fill it up. Edit: I also a bit of Perl to glue it all together and store the stats in an MS Access cloudstore.

  That's cool! By "TaskRabbit" do you mean an internal tool - or do you mean the marketplace, and it just happens to be someone on your team?

    TaskRabbit is a startup in which you can dispatch human agents to accomplish tasks. See https://www.taskrabbit.com/ https://www.taskrabbit.com/

Day job? Sun 4 and Scientific Linux 4.5 (it's REAL painful). Side project? LAMP + cPanel Hobby projects? MEAN + Playing with docker & AWS. I'm pretty excited about Docker HUB as if I can get a firm grasp on it I might be able to convince my day job to abandon our current setup and go with a much faster AWS/EC2 setup.

  Off topic: Hello, just wondered if you've seen this that I released earlier this week: https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/haskell-opaleye https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/haskell-opaleye Feel free to send me an email (address linked in the README) if you have any questions about the project.

    I did, and it looks really cool! Probably not going to migrate either of these projects, in the short term, though. The first, because it would be a large undertaking; the other, because it does almost nothing with the database - all of one table, only a couple trivial selects, so my focus there is elsewhere for now. At some point I definitely plan to dig deeper into OpalEye, and might wind up porting one or both medium-to-long term. Though actually, if you want to scope things out and see how hard you think migration might be, that first project is Snowdrift.coop
