   The central thesis of the post “Optimizing for your software project becoming big is the same as optimizing a car to hit a rock wall - you are optimizing for failure” is garbage. I can't imagine any sane engineer not realizing that writing

    I'm inherently weary of anyone who claims that dynamic languages with loose types are the end all be all. I can only speak from experience with PHP, but at some point your app+framework is just so big that I've almost wanted to sacrifice so

    It's cool because the b-trees are spanning several servers in a cluster. Presumably this would make increasing capacity transparent to client applications because you could just add more database machines while still connecting to a singl

    Extremely interesting. Last March I actually tried to switch the name on an American Airlines ticket and the agent on the phone informed that it was impossible to switch the name on a ticket. She went so far as to claim the computer system

    We're by Tufts in Somerville, MA. You can get a pretty reasonable place for 600-700, assuming roommates aren't an issue. About a 5 minute walk to Davis Square and then a hop and a skip to either Harvard or MIT.

    Hmm it doesn't really count but JBoss is open source and has paid developers. jQuery UI is maintained by a consulting group. Firefox's core developers are paid. I'm pretty sure there are paid contributors on Hadoop and Lucene. And lets no
