Hetzner's pricing for dedicated servers is impressive. However, I'm curious about how do you deal with (or whether you are worried about) the lack of their presence in North America, Asia, Oceania? Unless most of your customers ar

Excellent write-up and interesting story - thank you for sharing. I'm wondering about whether Buildium had to restructure itself from LLC to C Corporation prior to the first VC round (or subsequent rounds). VCs very rarely invest in LL

by ablekh 7y ago
Well, there are several available options, as follows: 1. Bootstrap first, then raise one or more VC rounds. 2. Go typical VC route (angel/pre-seed/seed, Series A, etc.), but skip a round or, better, two. 3. Establish a multi-clas

I partially agree. However, the key word in your comment is "simple". While, obviously, it is subjective, in my opinion, presented diagrams are hardly very simple (though, they are not that complex either). Yes, they are readable,

Exactly. I'm pleased to finally hear from someone with a similar UX taste. :-)

You are welcome! As the author, of course, you are free to do whatever you want with your content. I was just sharing my friendly suggestion, based on my experience and UX taste ... :-)

Well, it seems that our opinions on legibility of visual artifacts differ. It is harder to read, a) because of coarseness of diagrams' elements and b) because of additional mental effort needed to comprehend such an artifact as a whole

Nice write-up. However, I would strongly recommend to replace your text-based diagrams, which are difficult to read, with ones produced by relevant tools (e.g., draw.io or a wonderful Mermaid project: http://mermaid-js.github.io&

I appreciate you sharing your insights and references. Will definitely research on relevant aspects and linked projects.

Quick question, since we are on the topic: do you think that it is a feasible (or even the optimal) approach to first develop an MVP, using a very productive, but much less performant, language (Python) and then, upon reaching a product-mar

This aspect (variability of requirements spectrum) is exactly why Julia language seems to be extremely attractive in that it represents an excellent and unique solution to the "two-language problem". The only issue that I'm s

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Just curious: If you were tasked with architecting and implementing a semantic layer for a complex SaaS platform in a large domain from scratch, what would be your approach and what technology stack woul

by ablekh 7y ago
With all potential advantages of semantic technologies, I'm wondering about whether their adoption is slowed down by performance issues of inference engines (reasoners) on very large (> 100B of nodes) datasets (e.g., AWS has decided

Thank you for sharing your experience. Do you use a more or less well-known toolset like MPS or Xtext or it is some kind of a custom framework? Any lessons learned and best practices regarding external DSL design and development?
466.
by ablekh 7y ago
I'm curious about whether there is a large skills overlap between engineers working on compilers and embedded DSLs (for the case of external DSLs, such an overlap would IMO be quite significant). By the way, are there any people here (

I would recommend you to consider the following "simpler-than-Kubernetes" containerized workload orchestrators: Swarm ( https://github.com/docker/swarm ) and somewhat more complex Nomad ( https://gith

I see. This certainly could be used by SMB companies, which do not require (some or many) enterprise features, but still have sizeable codebases, teams and levels of activity. My point was that it is probably a good idea to spend time on pe

by ablekh 7y ago
I agree - some focus definitely makes sense, but I was talking about the author mentioning spending "a lot of time" on this.

Great work, congratulations! Will definitely give it a try. Having said that, this project needs data import/export functionality (certainly for GitLab and GitHub; perhaps, also for less popular options, e.g., Bitbucket, Gitea and Gogs

It's my pleasure! Thank you for the clarifications. I will definitely follow your efforts. :-)

Looks interesting. Good luck! Couple of questions: 1) why did you decide to create your own graph query language instead of trying to follow recent graph query languages standardization trend (e.g., see https://www.tigergraph.com

Abstracting away from this specific case, it is IMO just another example of potential very significant and real risks of being reliant upon cloud or, more generally, technological platforms operated by potentially acquirable companies. Whil

I was definitely talking about the first category (though not necessarily public only; AFAIK there are some [many?] private companies that fit that profile). I agree that those revenue multiples are high, though I'm not sure I would re

Hi, there! Understood, thank you for the clarification. I guess, I've somehow missed mention of that bonus section. Two more suggestions for more comprehensiveness: consider updating this course with a content addressing 1) using alter
