Another reason that 80 cols mattered was because code could be printed properly on an 80 col dot matrix printer - way back then. Today, you can set your editor/ide to wrap it for you and you should - just 80 is such a waste of space on

In my opinion you shouldn't be a CTO but a founder. I don't think any serious tech team can respect a technically inexperienced or poor CTO for long and this will cause problems later. It might be a better idea for you to go for a

my thoughts - i would reduce hours down to 8 and take the weekends off - you aren't anywhere close to burnout, for me burnout is when you can't work anymore not when you can work 10*7!! - don't fret it, the project will be do

Google sends extra packets because it does not comply with TCP Slow Start(RFC 2581) - if the author implements a proper tcp state machine and buffer then she would be able to handle this.

I have actually implemented a TCP stack in python, unfortunately I can't share it publicly just yet. The authors problems are because she is not using RAW_IP_SOCKETS. Making TCP packets using pythons struct module is a breeze. I can po

The pythonic way of creating a Point like data structure is not point = {'x': 0, 'y': 0} but instead, this Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'], verbose=True) The resulting c

IMHO, Twisted is not an example of great engineering and it certainly is not pythonic - which is why I am glad Guido did this, we deserve better :P PS: I say this from reading the codebase and using it extensively to write a production BOSH
