I'm not saying they're not useful, pinterest is hardly a giant in my opinion, they do one thing and clearly do it well. I'm sure their position on unit tests will change, hopefully before they are burned.

You don't get big by writing a lot of tests (or checks). You get big by getting stuff done with competent people that pay attention to the changes they apply. YMMV

Brogrammer? No. If someone referred to a female co-worker as a Hogrammer, then yes.

Fairly certain they have a few people already doing this. Lots of happy customers over there from the sounds of it and not just fly-by-night operations either.

They spent all that money on Skype and now this is all they can afford. It's the thought that counts.

Erlang deployment (IMHO) has never been easier: see rebar. It's trivial for a layperson to not only deploy/distribute Erlang applications, but also deploy the hot code upgrades. See: https://github.com/basho/rebar

Heh, so are we going to kick out their students which we've enrolled in some of our top research universities?

Sorry, I'm going to make an assumption that by interface difficulty you mean it's ability to be queried (map reduce only + lucene {optional})? Also, nothing forces you to use protobuffs, you can tell riak what (via the content type of an ht

I've been working on it (prof. Erlang programmer) via Racket. I'm only on section 2.3 and I've gone through section 1's exercises several times. You really gain an appreciation for math to controlling flow as opposed to something being "nul

You can look at this as more of a "philosophical" question. Is software ever really "done"? There will be much back and forth, I don't think this question is really answerable. If you need to hand it over to someone else; then yes. Once it

I'd go more along the philosophy of "you are what you read" when it comes to development. No one knows everything (or anything for that matter) so you should constantly try to better yourself.

Of all the places; really? You went with the "rockstar" moniker for hires?

Agreed. We should file this under "knock me down with a feather" -- waste!

Personally, I think hockey is a great outlet for developers (being one that plays of course). It is physically and mentally taxing, but most of all it requires teamwork; I can't think of anything that matches better. Sometimes you square of

My kids love this show and has gotten them sincerely interested in electronics (and putting cut-outs on sticks for puppet play) - keep up the good work!

No, not a typo or a joke, the mentality of an Erlang programmer is to (and this gets beaten to death in books) "Let it crash." It is ok to let processes fail, you build restart strategies for certain processes so that when they do fail, you

It's simple really, you need to put all those souls somewhere. I'd store them digitally too.

Don't cheat yourself...Erlang itself is not that hard once you understand the core principles. I will say that OTP can be overwhelming, but with tools like rebar taking care of the bulk of it for you now, it's much more accessible to begin
