By those standards, you'd have to be even dumber to be a founder: bad hours, lots of risk, bad pay and lots of stress. Most good founders were employees at hot startups, where they learned what to do and joined 'networks of success.'

Talent acquisitions only pay for the TALENT being acquired. You were not acquired, so you got nothing. There is no reason to be upset here. The founders did not do you wrong. They aren't as rich as you think, just flashy.

Visual programming for dataflows - as in a series of mapreduce jobs on Hadoop - is an excellent case for this kind of programming. If you haven't read it, check out this paper on PigPen from Yahoo Research: http://bit.ly/v6eqwq

IDEs are slow, and bloated to all hell. I want an editor that is aware of the language I'm using, syntax highlighting, remote execution, etc. and any other piecemeal features I add. But I want the editor to be simple. Hello Textmate.

In practice, such people will often threaten you. They are experts at this, and can easily get under most people's skin. This is why most people fold and give up their rights. Out of fear.

I've done something similar over Voldemort. Local traversals are probably comparable, depending on how they partition and how much duplication there is. And then, you get to do large traversals, which is nice. I don't know how good Agamemn

It's going to be slow for global algorithms in large graphs, and fast for local traversals in any graph. Which is the best you can hope for, and they're probably close to the state of the art at doing both in one DB.

It is insane for the people to fund research they can't freely view the results of.

Kinda makes me want to get a job, and raise money with a really strong team of bubble pop refugees once this bubble is over. Who is it that said the best companies tend to get founded after the bubble, and grow a lot/monetize during them?

Agree. Talked about how severe ORM impedance mismatch is here: http://datasyndrome.com/post/3257282059/data-driven-recursiv... Your model needs to fit your view.

With robust server-side javascript... its not hard to see the application of this. It is easier to generate executable javascript for the client on the server in javascript itself. Certainly in Web2+ you want this for increasingly dynamic

As an employee for the first time in the last year, I've struggled with this at times. I spent 6 years as an entrepreneur, where validation was with customers, or as a contractor or consultant - where validation was hourly. It was always

You make the implicit statement that intuition isn't rational, which is interesting. I find my intuition is often most rational.

It is contemptible to suggest that I suggested that. You can go outside, so you should.

Maybe you should cultivate some fucking respect. Yahoo, which gave us such critical technologies as Hadoop and Pig, just gave us what appears to be a robust distributed stream processing thingamabob. They open sourced it first, and will qui
