From alestic.com >> Both EBS boot and instance-store AMI ids are listed, but I recommend you start with EBS boot AMIs. Why two opposite recommendations from alestic.com [authority on AWS] and practitioners? Not a flame - I am planni

Don't get discouraged by nasty replies. Unfortunately, I observe the same trend - the whole generation of current 15-20 are shortcutting as a life style. Instead of engineering/making things, I observe this in other areas - finance, economi

This is only applicable when the project scope is pre-defined/fixed. What would be the price setting methodology, i.e. how would this person charge in a case when smth truly innovative would need to be developed? :-)

The question I have [but not the answer] is: Usually in every project there is bunch of .js [jquery, backbone, etc] and .css files. So the good practice is not only to minify and compress, but also to bundle some/all of them into several bi

This is not a complain. This an example of how not to do roll out across intl markets prior to thinking through the basics, customer support process being one of this.

Understand, agree that it may be perceived as plea, which it is not. I can sort out my stuff myself :-) The point is - the AirBnB support process looks broken. Is their fix-my-mistake process also broken?
