I would love to see benchmarks against ruby 1.9.2. Perl always had comparable speed to ruby 1.8.6 with lower memory consumption and cpu usage. Now hopefully it'll be equivalent to ruby 1.9.2.

Without disclosing personal details I would like to say this post spoke to me as it very much fits with what I've been through. Dropping out, the highs, the lows. I'm now 26, have worked at a startup for just over 4 years and we just sold t

This is exactly what I am doing now. I'm a system administrator with a firm grounding in scripting languages like perl and ruby with some experience in java. After dabbling with C I felt like it would be the best option for understanding me

I'll be interested to see what information within this ebook more relevant or upto date than something like "Postfix the definitive guide" from the O'Reilly series. When I configured my first mail server it was all very cryptic but then I h

I initially tried scala when getting back to using a language on the jvm. While scala boasts less verbosity than java I felt like the syntax became more complex than what I was accustomed to and slowed my progress if you can believe that. J

Let me ask you. How does a company get into that state? Say you had 5 engineers, 1 billion page views a month and ongoing issues. Wouldn't you dedicate some resources to that? When one engineer leaves, wouldn't you worry a little? And then

Very interesting post. I'd advise you to go read Keith Rarick's introduction to doozer http://xph.us/2011/04/13/introducing-doozer.html . I think this could gain traction as a credible HA data store. As stated paxos is part of the core of
