These all seem like serious issues. Why even use Mongo in the first place?

For me I interpreted it as him being somewhat conscious as the feeling of your body dying comes over you and you pass. I have no idea what that would actually feel like, or if that's what happened/is possible, but the thought of being awa

I don't agree with everything he said, but in terms of completeness about working as a software developer vs what you learn in school this is spot on.

Steve Jobs has commented on how to disrupt the TV market before. Here is the transcript of the relevant parts: "The problem with innovation in the TV industry is the go-to-market strategy. The TV industry has a subsidized model that gives

I know nothing about node, but I had to add coffee-script as a dependency to my package.json file. Will I not have to do that cause of this fix?

Agreed. Dropping out is risky, but it can give you rewards. College always gives you great, though sometimes less great, rewards.

Oh totally agree. I saw on person who commented on Salvatore's blog that said, "I just lost all respect for you and your project (Redis)." That seems like a rather large knee-jerk reaction.

I think it's important to not confuse "dogma" with "development best practices," a lack of which is one of the problems that is hurting software development. People go off and do their own versions of password hashing because they don't kn

If you don't use a salt, I can use one of the freely available rainbow tables online to look up your password from the sha1 hash. If you use a salt I cannot do that. However, if you use the SAME salt for all your passwords, if I compromis

We have been running redis in production for months now and have never ever had a SINGLE problem with it. This, all while doing 17,000+ commands per second!

7 layers of nav is okay if it all makes sense, has good IA and doesn't get in the way of what you do most of the time. Gmail is a good example of this. There is navigation all over the place but what is front and center and most importa

As does Ruby. Rails certainly is the biggest and most famous Ruby project, but there are tons of other great projects in Ruby.

I think art is probably the wrong analogy, as UI has a lot of science and research behind it, but I see what you mean. I think UI is hard because it's hard to "prove correctness." With software engineering, correctness is enforced at many

If crawlers can perform them, then your users can/are too. I fail to see how crawlers need to obey by certain rules?

The last 2 years I went to Osh Kosh (2006 and 2008) there were two fatalities - one when a visiting pilot crashed on his way in (a lot of people fly in and camp at the air show) and another when two reno air race plans doing a race demo col

Our servers are in the same data center as theirs, and it's always weird to see their stuff in the rack. I just imagine all the LOLCats surging through their servers and giggle.

You'd be surprised. I don't know the inner-workings of most electronics stores, but I bet the markup on cables like Monster is extraordinarily high. And most consumers (and maybe some sales people) don't know the differences so the stores

Right, but you can't discount the vision that Jobs had to show Apple and everyone else that having products that are uncompromising on design + are solid technically will lead to great success.

The act of going back over previously written code that is headed down the wrong path to refactor it to be more flexible/modular before you write your next feature with that code is almost always worth it. It's not worth it if you're nev

This is really awesome! A couple questions though: * What do I do if I need to tune/configure Postgres for my workload. * How is the performance of transferring all of the queries and responses across the internet? Keep in mind I've never

This is a huge point that I think is often overlooked. Not only is it cheaper to write and distribute content to the entire world, it's also cheaper and easier to curate all that content and offer a page full of links to it. Newspapers/

ESI, as it's already been pointed out, is one big way. I tend to not like requiring JS to make my pages usable, as not everyone has JS turned on and it's ability to work correctly in non-mainstream browsers, while improving, can be spotty.

Sure there are programmers that don't program in their spare time that are great programmers, but I think the general theme is that doing side projects in your spare time is generally a strong signal you're adventurous, self-reliant, eager

Key/value store or maybe a document database. But it certainly has nothing to do with being column oriented.
