dev-ops for me also includes provisioning - and based on " ... you can use shell, perl, ruby, node.js ..." I don't see a strict system for that in place.

Thanks for the tip, will take a look at it. Probably after this project, the current app must be lean (no big dependencies, just install a database scheme, pip install and go).

The temporal aspect seems to be somewhat ignored by mainstream db development - in some fields, e.g. BI you'll have slowly changing dimensions; and the event sourcing pattern promises a time-machine view on data. Since I'm writing a history

It might not be the biggest reason, but game mechanics in a broad sense helps this site to rank answers - and that's a big part of what makes it stand out.

Ok, heroku never got my credit card info (I created this account years ago, maybe it's required today, I don't know) - seems there is no "Current Usage" section in "My Account" on an unverified billing account. That is, I don't dispute you

Can't reproduce. But since I use heroku only for prototyping, I never received an invoice.

As far as I can tell, templating is an addon - you can specify everything as pure yaml, also.

After using Puppet and Chef for small production deployments and local vagrant setups, salt looks promising in terms of performance and transparency.

As a developer I very happy, that http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ exists. It's a package manager (#packages as of today: 2024), like apt or yum - with a very nice command line interface and a great community. > Homebrew is the easies

Yes, I barely used it. The only thing I used the bay for was a secondary 1TB disk alongside with a primary SSD - which makes a good combination for data intensive development. Guess this option is now gone as well ...

I remember to have carried a bunch of basic programming language cards (happy families card game style) as a kid - especially I remember two cards, GOTO and GOSUB - which sounded so similar, yet had quite different depictions :)

Thought so too, for a moment - but on second thought, GH set the UX bar for their add-on projects quite a bit higher (as may be observed e.g. here http://hubot.github.com/ ).

I can understand the attitude - and your counterexample. I know a few people, who have law or humanities degrees, who can come up with some working Wordpress installation or some web form much more quicker than I could (I've been programmin

While RVM is great, I use https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv (but I don't write that much ruby lately. Maybe I haven't reached the edge of rbenv).
