This has always been my rule after seeing an ex-colleague of me leaving one of worst profanity you can say in a test build which was shown to clients during a meeting. I wasn't at the meeting, but I can imagine the situation

Well, dedicated hardware for EC2 makes sense for certain workloads (eg when you need more predictable performance), considering that you can use them alongside other AWS services (EBS, RDS, Route 53, S3, etc). Plus allocating 'bare met

I doubt that. It would be a massive PR shitstorm if something like this exists and get exposed. Though it's also true that NSA is known for intercepting specific shippings of electronic goods and plant hardware backdoors. It would be i

In MySQL you append \G at the end of the query instead of ; to get the same result as \x. Weird I know, but it works. Still psql is a superior client IMHO.

Mechanical or flash storage? Compression could give advantage on mechanical disks due to the reduced time spent on seeking, but I'm curious to know how they perform on SSD for which seek time is reduced to a minimum if not 0.

So it's basically a set of libraries used to marshal/unmarshal objects without using a schema or can it also be used as an RPC library?

Agreed. But in the other hand, this also gives a false image of the startup world, to the people unfamiliar with it, where the vast majority of this kind of startup fail. Stil a great piece to read, though. It reminds me of the Plenty Of Fi

I'm impressed by how only a few people mentioned what I think it's the main point of application/system logging: debugging problems. Especially in small projects when you don't work 'at scale and you don't have

This is very interesting and I'm convinced. But the problem the companies I worked for in the past faced is that sometimes the client has a tight budget and have to share it with other projects too. So they need to have a precise view

They used Mongo, but I'm not sure this is still the case. I guess they use multiple datastores across the company services. I thought the same thing, how many can they be? Even considering Stripe operates globally, I'd say it&#x27

This is very interesting as Phoenix could become the next Rails. I loved Rails and ruby, for the most part, but ruby MRI still lack 'Native Threading', and Jruby isn't viable if you are using external C extensions. To overcom

Interesting point, though I've never thought about this situation because I've never worked with software versioning. If I need to rollback, I have to check which migrations are present in the SCM repository in a specific revision

I have a similar approach, but with timestamps instead of an incremental int. I'd use a tool for this, but then I would need to change how I deploy the apps given that usually, it's best to run the migrations and then update the c
