We should pay for digital IP the same way we pay for any other public good. Everyone puts a little in, maybe those with more contribute more, and then you allow everyone to benefit from the good because it can be given to everyone at litt

What would be a good way of reliably farming out docker daemons to worker nodes? Mesos is a bit heavyweight but a docker-mesos framework could be pretty cool for programmatically scaling up or down dockers across worker nodes.

Anyone know of a good tool to make these types of diagrams? Preferably automatically? I've been meaning to create something that plugs into Chef and or nmap/netstat. In my experience, any diagram/inventory/whatever that isn't automatical

I work for a company that invests heavily into drupal and I'd highly recommend jekyll. Way better solution to almost all CMS use-cases. Sure some content producers might initially balk at actually having to actually check in their change

'The Best' are expensive and are constantly being poached. You don't need 'The Best' because you're not doing anything particularly innovative - you want "the most effective' which is probably someone 'good' who, with the right resources,

I recommend creating a reusable 'development vm' (or lxc container if you swing that way) for your entire team. It really cuts down on development time and you can generally host it anywhere (locally, 'the cloud', whatever). Not(or rarely)
