   Without knowing all the facts surrounding this choice, it is rather difficult to judge if this decision was ill-conceived. But as a father of a home-schooled 5yr old, I find myself constantly questioning the value/trade-offs of traditi

   We decided not to use docker containers for our postgres DB in production; Volume mounts just don't make me sleep easy. We use an S3-backed private docker registry to store our images/repositories.

   WhatsApp has become the defacto medium of communication with my friends and family in Africa, emerging way ahead of phone numbers, sms, facebook et al. I am not thrilled by the service, but if you want to stay in the loop, you have to join

    I believe that Google's external cloud offering leverages the platform already in use internally, and is not a wholly seperate platform/product. At this stage of entry, google not only has to provide a compelling alternative to AW

    This is a good initiative and something I have had on my todo list for a while. If I understand correctly, you are trying to target the african tech/startup community. I wouldn't want to see it become yet another political forum as some of
