   Their logging server Scribe, which they also open sourced, is equally awesome. Kudos to Facebook for releasing such cool technology.

   If the JVM is state of the art, how many applications of the scale of Facebook are using it? A serious question, as I don't know of any.

   In a word: fragmentation. Just look at what Amazon have done with the Fire. Separate branch of Android with a separate app store. Same thing happening to webOS would be bad news.

   First one who does will get my money when I'm looking for an upgrade on my Pre3 and Touchpad next year, and I'm not alone ;-)

   I really hope they manage to do that, and avoid the fragmentation that Android experienced, especially with multiple app stores and no centralised over-the-air update mechanism.

    Thanks for your comment, its the other schemes beyond a centralised workflow that I have not arrived at yet, as I'm new to Git and not finding it friendly so far (despite years of experience with other systems), I probably just don't get it

    I could commit pretty freely using Subversion or Perforce to. As for the faster Git commits, is that just because you are only commiting locally? You still have the overhead of pushing to your central repo. Reading the original article, it

    Speaking as a long-term Subversion and Perforce user, I'm finding the switch to Git (forced on me by a job change) painful. My old work flow: 1. Commit my code to the central repo. My new and "improved" Git workflow: 1. Commit my code to my

    They will save you time in the long run, because they automate your testing. If you spend some time writing a unit test to cover some code, you never have to worry about testing that piece of code again: it will be automatically tested e

    I'd really get in deep on the PHP platform, with an emphasis on performance. For example, if you have not looked at them already, take a look at the APC cache for opt code and user data, then distributed caching via Memcache (and the PHP c

    It's interesting what you say about Google Analytics, I've always suspected that but then dismissed it as my personal paranoia. Is there any way to prove such a theory, or are there any studies into this available online?

    Sounds like you should sell it on eBay to someone who loves webOS, and make yourself a tidy profit in the process. The workflow issues you describe are basically how webOS fundamentally works, so it sounds like it is a design decision that

    Great comment, and I wish you well. Getting up that early each morning shows real determination, and frankly it's not something I ever thought of. I’ve been trying to do evenings for years now, but there is always too many distractions so
