The sources all seem to be sitting in https://github.com/membase/ -- they are componentized, so may be... interesting to work out how to get a running server, but it seems to be there :-) ep_engine looks like the heart of it.

To have "senior" appended to your title, no -- that is basically nothing, and means as much. To be a genuinely "senior developer | engineer | programmer" in the eyes of others it probably takes at least 15 to 20 years of experience building

I disagree. The original article is specifically about attracting good talent to Austin. Someone presently in the valley, who is worth attracting, generally has no reason to leave. You need to come up with good reasons for them to leave w

No, you are not. The more damning trait would be believing you are not qualified because of a test administered when you were 8 years old (or worse, believing the results of any IQ test administered after that). There are certainly brillian

Just one data point, but the one guy I know who worked in the adult industry I would hire in a heartbeat, FWIW.

Well, yes, IIRC he described one of his major goals with Clojure as enabling simplicity, or something like that. That Clojure's design follows his views on simplicity seems natural. Non-Clojure examples would help make the point. He does br

"Ready for something new" is the standard and boring, but fair answer to a totally unfair question.

It is not too late. The biggest problem people generally have learning something significantly new later in life is fear of looking stupid. As long as you don't mind looking stupid, you should have no problems. By this, I mean displaying yo

"Programming in Lua" by Roberto Ierusalimschy ( http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/ ) is an absolute gem, in my opinion.

I find "brew install htop" to be easier, for what it's worth :-)

Okay, learning more about it via another channel, I am pretty convinced of the path you took :-)

I don't see how your argument follows, but... there is nothing "inflexible" about that setup, imho. I think antirez has a pretty good setup, but without poking around for edges, you won't find the edges :-)

Even in the magical cloud, you still have configuration -- listening port at a minimum. Cloud does not remove need for deployment management, as a rule.

Tokyo Tyrant (and Kyoto Tyrant) have a pretty nice mechanism for doing this, http://fallabs.com/tokyotyrant/spex.html#luaext Basically you give it a "-ext /path/to/waffles.lua" arg at startup to define a bunch of user defined functions.

Imagine a small but useful library doing something really boring but doing it well. The authors, over the years, have all been established top-tier developers who just want to solve their common, and frankly boring, problem and get on with

Your project doesn't market itself, but remember, many folks writing open source really don't care if anyone else uses it or not. The statement, "But if you believe your project has value — which you probably do, since you spent time on it

Without size and weight included, which are to me the primary attributes of a laptop, the comparison is moot.

Agreed, and lua is so nice to embed that it makes it easy. The only thing that compares is tcl, and, well... Yeah, go lua!

In 2.2, the event mpm doesn't support ssl, but in 2.3/2.4 it does support ssl. In fact, IIRC, if you are using apche as a reverse proxy (mod_proxy) the event mpm should become the standard as it will detach the worker thread both for keepal

Another apache hacker answering :-) I use emacs and gdb to muck around the code. Apache has a lot of backwards compat warts with regard to which header files define things, unfortunately, but grep (or ack) and ctags will get you around. The

Sadly, it is a precious snowflake license (MIT + Custom term) with a very ambiguous custom term: "The Software and/or source code cannot be copied in whole and sold without meaningful modification for a profit." Great to see it semi-open so

I have worked with everyone involved, when they were on staff as our recruiting team. They were an awesome in-house team, and considering they are the same team, just as an agency, I am willing to bet they are still awesome.

A couple of the best recruiters I know just started an agency aimed primarily at early stage ventures. While they are recruiters, they are amazing, and understand building early teams. http://lab8ventures.com/

Speaking as a long time open source contributor, it is even better to contribute bug reports (detailed, replicable), assistance to folks on the users mailing lists, and code (if you are able). Donating money to open source organizations is
