That's interesting that you think about it that way. I know a lot of people who upload their scanned prescriptions and reports to Dropbox. Dropbox uses AWS S3 to store data. Do the 3 guys from Oakland use the same infrastructure? I&#x2

Unschooling - I believe that's the philosophy that a successful YC startup (Hacker School) has imbibed in helping programmers get better at their craft. Although I haven't read the book (yet - sample on Kindle), I have tried to ap

Wow, its people like this (both comments from docker/dotCloud) that make you really love a service. In fact, I would have put my next side project on dotCloud if the prices weren't steep - but I get that they're for businesse

Quickest (and easiest) to MVP would probably be Postgres but what when we scale up? I know Instagram did it, but I also read that Systrom went mad making calls to the best minds in the Valley during their Android launch while he was at it!

We're definitely exploring mongoengine. The problem is that we've read that it doesn't support the Admin UI then. All these tradeoffs!
