I think you should pitch this idea to the Cartels.

Yes. I actually mean both. Thread safety does and doesn't matter. MRI has a GIL so appending to an array across threads will "just work." JRuby doesn't and it won't end well if you're not giving it thought. But

Neat. I wouldn't use it, as I have a database :). Some notes: - it's not thread safe - it's not jruby-safe - you should generally avoid Marshal. It can have compatibility issues across Ruby versions, etc. plus yaml or json ca

"Vendor Lock-in" is a meaningless phrase if you start applying it to GitHub. You're talking about competition. GitHub competes and people like it a lot. That's not a lock-in. Your business won't end if you switch to

That time I had to call a lot of SOAP APIs. Not Java SOAP, but .NET SOAP. There's a difference and I regret having had to know what it was.

Regading sleep: IMO it's vital to stop working at least 2-hours before bed. Your brain never stops and you never sleep well. Maintaining work/life boundaries and having a routine will help in keeping you sane.

If you're using github, you can also go into the merged PR and hit revert, assuming conflicting changes haven't been made. Otherwise you can do `git revert SHA -m 1` and fix conflicts / commit.

This isn't a git flow issue, unless I'm missing something. If anything, you can more easily revert a bad set of changes by simply reverting the merge commit. Front-end testing is hard, but you need to figure that out. Ruby Motion

Oddly enough, this website's scrolling behaves horribly on my iPad. Web fundamentals – test in something other than Chrome on a MacBook Pro.

You'll have to. Stop resisting. Follow the money and build a platform others can use and the company can sell. White labels are fairly easy. As another poster mentioned, use internationalization tools for branding language. Create layo

Housing here is just limited supply and high demand. I don't see prices falling, given how strict getting a $1m+ loan is in the first place. Prices won't really go down unless people are forced to sell. That said, I have sympath

So, "Startup" to them = private, bloated company? I'm guessing they're talking about the "startups" who hemorrhage money on a trendy office location and uncomfortable chairs. It'd be cool if we had a diffe

TrueCar white labels their site with various car buying programs. They would've gone out of business years ago if it weren't for their white label program. It took a few years for their main site to make more money than the white-

Counter point: WeChat. They keep piling new things into it just to screw around, and find gold in hilarious places. Just build for yourselves. People are mostly like you.

Wow. We are literally working on the same problem described in this post. Looks like a great tool! We'll give it a spin.

Beware if you're using this BEHIND a separate caching layer such as Varnish. That's not well-supported (and helped contribute to an outage for us. we used auto-scaling groups and that shot us in the foot when first trying out page

"...if they do nothing for 364 days then convinces the team to change programming language to a 2x more productive language." If you bike-shed programming languages then I'm throwing you out the nearest window.

None of this is surprising. I'm not sure what the author was expecting? Or if they're simply clarifying the scenario for others as a warning. > "You would be paying that 70ms cost four different times." Right, and e

It's a lot of things. "Product Developer" captures it quite well. You're going from 0 to ShipIt with minimal bottlenecks. "Isn't that just an architect?" Except you're not a silo'd backseat drive

Bingo. I'm a product engineer as well. I build products in 1/4 the time of an entire team, with unit/integration tests. It's also technically correct--that is, as technically correct as it needs to be to ship, scale, and
