We've been using this internally for a few weeks now and it has been really, really awesome. Currently just Python, but should be feasible for Ruby, PHP, and other dynamic langauges too.

Do you need open source or are you OK running something proprietary? If the latter is an option, Rollbar ( https://rollbar.com ) can be deployed on-premise.

Also reminded me of this CloudFlare outage from last year, where a bad configuration rule caused their routers to crash: http://blog.cloudflare.com/todays-outage-post-mortem-82515 In that instance the rule was written by

This is silly. Funnels are a useful abstraction to measure and optimize conversion rates in a multi-step process. How you optimize the steps in the funnel (i.e. spam or not) is up to you. The "upside down funnel" is really an exam

We've been using this internally for the last couple days. It's strangely awesome to see real stack traces for Javascript errors. Makes it feel just a little more like a "real" programming language. If anyone has any que

This looks really nice, will be spending some time with it. Seems like it could benefit a lot from a rich component library -- is there anything like that on the web somewhere or in the works?

Live-tailing of images looks really, really cool. Do the updates stream in automagically?

LivingSocial has thousands of employees, many in sales and other non-technical roles. That first sentence reminds them "this affects you, it's not just for the engineers." That seems prudent to me.

It's correct. Business days = weekdays minus holidays, so about 20 per month. So 30 business days ~= 1.5 months.

One trick I didn't mention in the article: partially nullable unique indexes. The idea is you want multiple rows to be able to half-claim a value, but only one to really claim it. The value goes in the non-nullable column, and the second co

This looks really nice, great work! Setup looks a little more daunting than I was hoping though. Could it be possible to make this work without me having to install your gem and run this through Travis?

First one: dropped out of undergrad, if things had totally failed going back (with financial aid) would've been an option. Current one: ~1 year personal runway saved.

Another category: SDKs, or any code you give your customers to embed within their own. Not only will this make them more comfortable (since they can inspect the code), you're likely to get free, quality work in the form of contributions. I'
