Sounds like you need to network and meet people who are in that position. I'd suggest checking out python, django, and other web related meetups in your area and talking to people there. A lot of those meetups accept speakers as well,

I strongly suggest looking at udacity's nanodegrees or coursera's certificates. There are great courses and nanodegrees created by google, facebook, and other employees from big companies where you'll get to build projects an

Thank you for the detailed explanation. It seems like a unique use case. I've yet much to learn about ES :). Glad you are releasing this as a plugin!

You mention "... however, that none of these balancing options are resource-aware: there is no “balance shards across nodes by the size of the shards” flag to set or knob to turn." I was under the impression that shards are kept u

Most people try to start a company by forcing an idea they think is good. Just like one of my college friends, who doesn't understand the market, industry, or even the target audience for his idea. Like I said, you don't just star

I'm gonna have to go with PG's advice here. Stop trying to start a company. You don't start a company just for the sake of it. Even if you have a project that's cool and useful, it doesn't mean it needs to be a comp

Run, and run fast. Since you've only been there for 2 weeks, you've yet to experience the ridiculous amount of production issues that will arise due to the lack of a solid software development process. Wait long enough, and when t

As far as "Do you fish for the "best" candidate of a bunch or do hire as soon as you find a "hire-able" candidate?" I think this really depends on what you're looking for. If the first person seems like a

I had a phone screen, 2 quick coffee meetups with CEO (<30 mins). I was then given access to github and told to implement a fairly simple feature in the next few days. This was with a stack I didn't know, so I had to prove that I ca

There's a reason why Grails exists. It takes advantage of the JVM by running Groovy, and gets rid of all the Java cruft. Spring is just meeh...

As someone who came from a Rails and Django background, and is currently using Spring MVC, I completely agree. Spring MVC is light years behind other frameworks. Why do companies use it? Because Java developers tend to get stuck in bigger c

In all honesty you probably got stuck in some automated loop. It is kind of sad that the support isn't more expedited for things like this. Seems like more and more people are turning to HN in order to get visibility and get their Stri

I'd suggest reading the book Clean Code, for some insight on how to write, well clean code ;) Chapter 2 covers naming conventions Also note that conventions are different for different languages. You can also look up the Google style g

I'm not sure those are the best resources for a web developer. While these are good things to know, I'd focus on mastering the stack/framework one is using as a web developer. For example, If you're doing Ruby on Rails,

I think the best way is to give them access to a code base, give them 48 hours and have them submit a pull request for a feature. That way you can see that they can learn the codebase and implement the feature in their own time. During the

There are a lot of companies out there. It's true, a lot of them have a terrible interview process and they weed out very talented people. Regardless, go on as many interviews as you can. You'll eventually find a good team that va

Hah, this reminds me of myself. I worked at some good places and some not so good ones. At one point I worked at a place, and I thought I had it bad, so I left for something supposedly much better. Turns out, it was bad. Worse than my previ

It's better to give them a coding assignment with a deadline of say 24 or 48 hours. That way they can use resources available to them, just as they would at the workplace. Have them submit it to github as a pull request, and you can in
