Not so fast though. This might just be a quick fix. Any high-traffic sites might still see the same results as the routing alg is still random. Probably the guy who wrote the routing alg simulation can re-run his tests to see what kind of i

The performance of Compojure was really impressive, which was almost three times as fast as play-scala. I was expecting the opposite, considering that Scala is generally a bit faster than Clojure.

I agree you do have a point. Though that's the nature of running a business: people do take days/vacations off, so prepare for that.

I'm curious to know what you would expect from that guy if that module broke at 4:00AM?

That's the part I don't understand capitalism: on one hand, big corps try to save every dime by downsizing and outsourcing, and on the other hand, they pour money like this.

Believe me, this is not a lottery, at least in this case. No, I don't have any facts just my intuition. I consider this more in lieu of the case how BillG got the DOS contract.

Not Steve Jobs though.

That would like to be a huge leg up though. Just imagine that if Bill Gates didn't get the DOS contract from IBM.

I always wonder though what if Jean-Louis Gassée and his BeOS won the deal (instead of Jobs and NeXT) in late 90's, what kind of Apple computer would have become? No doubt he is very capable, though I wouldn't bet on him myself.

Maybe you should give Clojure a try, which is a pragmatic Lisp in my opinion. You don't have to reinvent the wheel most of the time since you have access to a vast array of Java libraries.

Wow, DOOM! I had some nice memories to talk about: where as a newbie, I found a way to beat gurus and chased after them in deathmatches. Maybe a blog post in the weekend.

I tried Pomodoro a while ago and found 25 mins too short to do anything especially coding. Then I adopted a variant of it: 50 mins timer for work and 10 minutes break time. The tool I use is the timer feature of iPhone Clock app. Have boost

Agree. Though that's a bit ironic --- one of Heroku's selling points was scalability, at least a big part of Rails community believed it to be.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't know that. Tesla was very likely an alien or time-traveler anyway.

Agree. The current war of numerous Javascript MVC frameworks reminds me of the situation of Python Web Framework a few years ago, the community was confused by so many choices to select from. In the end, nobody wins, even the ultimate winne
