   I wanted to share our teams 7 year journey from idea to acquisition with some pictures and brief moments of the people that helped along the way. It’s been a rollercoaster of learnings, both up and down, and looking forward to the next chap

   This is a bit political; but relevant - vote for Universal Healthcare (Medicare for All), and this won’t even be a thought for you. I’m from Australia and don’t need to ever worry about health care costs; and you’d never in my life get me t

   We use Redis as a job queue and its great; the only limitation is being sometimes concerned about job queue size due to memory limits of the Redis server itself.

   Thanks for the suggestion, ill reflect on that; we were also considering an "overflow" queue that would receive jobs if there was a recent high insert rate of a customer's jobs to the main queue, but that didn't solve th

   Yeah, that makes total sense. For some of our saga's (we don't use SQS -- we use a custom redis queue), we have the saga potentially wake up and immediately sleep again ("Nothing to do right now, defer again in a few days&quo

   RE: visibility timeout beyond 30 days, you may be more after a “saga” that has state and is long running (hours/days/months/years). You can imagine building a saga system on top of a queue system.

   Anyone run a multi-tenant SaaS and handle fairness with jobs “fairly”? Occasionally we use to have all workers tied up on a single customers long running tasks, we mitigated by using a throttler we wrote that can defer a job if too many res

    I’m really considering the switch to XPS also; I think their latest model moves the camera back to the top as well. What about the track pad isn’t working? And do you notice any “coil whine” I’ve been reading about? My other choice may be a

    Reflecting on this, I wonder if a PaaS solution that is a "vault" of confidential information would be a good thing. Similar to how Stripe handles payments with a token, we could all store tokens for User information (eg the Id) a

    As an Australia who enjoys universal healthcare, not once have I ever worried about being sick financially and how much it would cost me. I can go to any doctors I want and easily afford the medication I may need, and may visit a doctor pre

    Hey azhawkes; I've used loader.io and a few other services to do load tests. For all of them, I wish I had a "pay for credits" model, where I could just pay for each load test I ran, instead of a subscription. Load tests for

    Assuming you have something like customer_name.myapp.com as your dashboard URL, a once-off wildcard SSL for *.myapp.com should suffice, in case you are needing to grab one for each user?

    A few extra tips: - Typing the text "nguid" (new guid) will generate and let you pick from a GUID in a popup list inline, while coding. - If you're debugging multi-threaded apps and in a breakpoint, you can open the Threads l

    I've witheld buying a new MacBook for the last few years. Dislike the butterfly keyboard (lack of feedback) and touch bar removing the ESC key among others. Really hope this one is something I'd buy.

    We use a deployment tool (octopus) that keeps track of when each version is released. We also wrote a simple hubot script that shows the “diff” on GitHub comparing the changes between the currently deployed version and master, handy to revi
