I agree with the author that Chef is an incredibly powerful tool and that it has numerous benefits over plain old bash. However, I'm reluctant to actually use it because of its dependencies. Chef relies on CouchDB, RabbitMQ, and Solr, and

Thanks for pointing this out. We JUST pushed a change this week where we removed a huge banner saying "We help families find and manage blahblahblah" and replaced it with a few other things. Maybe we need to revert that!

Blackmail. I have pics of pg and Steve Ballmer sharing an ice cream cone, and I'll make them public unless I get the proper upvotes. I actually don't know what happened here either. I was at a kid's birthday party, and I look on Twitter t

Oops, I think I didn't express myself very clearly. When I was sending 20 requests a sec in a load test, the average response time for all the requests was 9 seconds. In a normal case, the page was loading in a fraction of that. Also, we

If you accept the article's theses that older developers are a big asset AND that they're at a disadvantage in the marketplace due to discrimination, there's an opportunity here. Rather than try to woo and retain 30 hotshot developers in t

Excellent idea and very nice execution! The design is great, plus it's incredibly easy to signup and share your registry. You're definitely on to something here. In terms of suggestions, I'd suggest you tweak your index page a bit. When

I agree. Infochimps has a whip-smart group of folks and they're rapidly acquiring the resources needed to be the major player in the data market. Not only that, but knowing a lot of them, they're genuinely decent, helpful people. It's gre

The scenario I put forward is my current scenario. My wife is due tomorrow (yippee!), I've been to nearly all of the doctor's appointments with her, and I'm cofounder of a startup that's doing quite well. Sure, I put in plenty of hours, bu

I disagree that not everyone needs work/life balance. If you're a leader at a company, your employees count on you to make good decisions regarding their future. I don't think you can make reasonable decisions here if you spend all of you

I must point out that, like any other mantra, JFDI must be taken with a grain of salt. Think about the following scenarios. You meet a guru who's willing to advise your startup for a mere 5% of the company. You find an investor who's wil

I think this is quite a bit different than the standard lite and full version model. The reason why is because, through in-app purchases, a developer has the potential to realize a lot more revenue per user. If all you're trying to do is t
