Avid volunteer here, and I would say that it is one of the best gifts you can get yourself. Seriously. Get out of the echo-chamber(s) that make up life, help your community, and observe real issues/hardship. My staples are a food bank,

The first rule of being a passive hacker is... ;) That being said, they are all over. I find too many and I can't act upon them all. I've always had an interest in business models and successful companies/people in "non-

I am one. I work roughly ~70 hours a week (if you count research and studying), but I can go months (or longer) without needing to touch the passive side of things (or work at all, if I so choose). Usually I am studying to push the bounds o

I've found a library can also be a nice change of scene for those who enjoy a quieter environment.

What type of data makes up the rows? Relational databases fit many data persistance problems, however there are other types of databases which might be more applicable to your problem. Essentially, use the right tool for the job. Relational

Quit and do something meaningful/challenging. Life is too short to let it pass you by, personally or professionally.

It doesn't have to be an either or proposition. Check out highscalability and you will see that it is common to use 2 to 4 types. Types being key/value, columnar, relational, document, and graph. All have serious pros and cons ove

I've been a big follower of your entire team, specifically on their talents in machine learning and NLP (e.g. http://nlp.stanford.edu/jrfinkel/papers/jrfinkel-thesis.pdf ). The fact that you also use Clojure a

Chrome is tightly integrated with Google services and has a default search engine of Google. This seems plenty of, if not more, incentive.

I am surprised how often the OP question is posed and how often this has to be said.

Yep. Even making similar income as you all but living in great communities where those same dollars have more than two times the spending power. It's awesome.

I make use of polyglot persistence. Graph, columnar, document, relational, key-value... each used when they are the right tool for the job. Each scaling horizontally. It gets easy to blow them away. :)

I use Ansible for both global and non-global zones. You are correct, both the deploys and the new pieces get new zones (the old are destroy after the migration). The idea of raising entire new zones for simple migrations sounds like a pain

I leverage SmartOS, Ansible, along with a service oriented architecture based upon Finagle with ZooKeeper. More information on service arch approach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30v5WVFvlno

Been doing this for years at all levels, and it really works. It allows me as a single dev to spend less than five hours (amortized) a week on a decent sized infrastructure to support my business. This includes building multiple racks of cu

Agreed! The ability to both push and pull is beautiful. Push for most things, pull for deploys via git.

Best of both, custom built private clouds across two datacenters via colocation. I'd recommend building your own servers and colocating them. You can get a ~50 ECU, 32GB ECC RAM, SSD, etc for about 1k. You can colo by the RU in most ma

If you REALLY want to know Scala/Clojure, learn lower level Java and the JVM itself. IMO, you can only go so far without that knowledge.

"What do I learn? What do you look for in a junior developer?" Bare minimum, someone who can: at least use elements of helpful advice, be respectful, and stick with things.

Senior level dev for $150 per hour? Maybe, depending on the niche. $30? I can't imagine someone of that caliber would be interested. In my area the going rate is well above that, and that isn't for bug fixing.

Exactly correct, backed up via Google's own search patents, statements, and third-party observations. Google has many ways without analytics to measure this.

Your analytics data. Google has repeatedly said that they do not use said information for ranking at all. You should use analytics for insight into you users, that's it. Use it however that best fits your needs.
