I don't know, I appreciate his convictions and what he does, but I don't believe software in general would be where it is today if it weren't for commercial and closed source software. Google and Apple have done a lot to shap

In fact if I recall correctly Google also experimented a couple years ago with a "email signup" field in search ads, but that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. Not that it is surprising because if you are searching for some

That sounds nice, but you need to make a stronger case about it in the site if you want to get people interested. Think of what features would make people excited about your platform and talk about those, don't just say "My platfo

1) Name sounds too close to Kickstarter, choose a better name to help it stand out. 2) Your landing page while nice doesn't say anything about what the platform does. I'm not going to sign up if I don't understand what is the

Windows as a brand is still way too big, and unlike IE its reputation is okay and its market share huge, Microsoft has more to lose than to win rebranding Windows. I don't see it happening, but IMO there's no reason why Windows ca

If you are being acquihired, how come you hint you are open to job enquiries on your post? Just curious.

If you are just starting with redis, beware that the entire dataset is held in memory, and memory is much more precious than disk. Don't just throw everything you can at it just because it's fast.

Following random guides on the internet doesn't necesarily have to be harmful if you don't simply copy-paste, but rather make an effort to understand what is the advice being given, why is it being given, and form an opinion about

There's a fork for InfluxDB 0.9: https://github.com/influxdb/grafana/tree/influx-0.9rc4 No idea how well it works, haven't tried it yet, but I would imagine it's still incomplete.
