It's pretty standard that with age, experience trumps education. Case in point: at Slide (run by Max Levchin, a top flight programmer himself), the VP of Engineering had an English literature degree and absolutely no formal computer science

It's really in case Facebook "screws them" -- in that scenario, nobody is tied to the Facebook login and can still access the site. Allowing them to Facebook Connect now lets them at least take advantage of viral "things" -- e.g. a wall pos

It looks like it's run by Facebook to promote quality campaigns amongst the marketing community. My first thought: "Dribbble for Facebook campaigns"

Incorrect, at least one of Zynga's co-founders (Justin) is a programmer -- though he's probably not doing much of that anymore. One of the common misconceptions is that Zynga has only one founder ... it actually has many. But I get the poin

LinkedIn's "People you may know" section is now filled with historical figures and fictional characters, all of which have pretty elaborate profiles. http://awesomescreenshot.com/057alia5b

Hm, what exactly do you think data mining is? How much money do you think Facebook gets out of data mining?

by adora 16y ago
Data mining at Slide was top tier but there was an unfortunate mis-timing with the economy tanking (read: advertisers had no money) ... and hence the eventual shift towards virtual goods. I don't think many people understand how advertisers

Yep, totally. And something like this also helps the other side. Case in point: have a couple friends who quit their high-paying engineering positions, and ended up consulting for companies as the first technical interviewer a candidate mee

When I began to realize I was spending more time building random web apps with a friend instead of doing my research. To be fair, my research was pretty bland, so it wasn't that hard to get distracted :)

As soon as I realized I had to be involved with startups, I quit grad school, bought a one-way plane ticket to California and haven't looked back since. Best $500 spent ever. You truly can't appreciate the pace, the spirit and the community

Thanks for the link! Appscale looks a bit limited for production use, but definitely will play around with it! Re: open source. We might just brute force it for now. If not, we'll definitely pretty it up at some point and open source it. At

Yeah, it's really, really slow -- and the ETA is 2 weeks! Although I have some faith it'll be fixed sooner. We're thinking of porting over to EC2. If anyone knows of any reliable tool that supports this for production, please feel free to s
