I think a good chunk of people here aren't looking to build a conventional business. Most are looking to (firstly) hack on something they find interesting and if the constellations are aligned right, make enough in an exit to be able to fre

I am curious, wasn't AppJet JVM based (using Rhino for Javascript)? Why couldn't they offer support for Ruby via JRuby? Would have been a language that's both much more pleasant to work than PHP and has great traction with web developer c

I am somewhat interested in their comet container which is based on JVM + Rhino. I am guessing they've rolled their own (using their raw NIO or Netty), rather than go with Jetty's "Continuations". I wonder if there's any chance Google will

I've said a few times recently on this site: if you're the first engineer in a start-up, you're either a (co-)founder or a chump. Ask for founder level equity and founder level control (both over the business idea and the technical implemen

I dislike these sorts of posts. While the likes of 37signals are very quick to point out that there are lots of benefits you can have as a founder of a small company that never "exits", they forget about the employees. Sure, if I am found

I wouldn't start an enterprise software company w/o a technical person either. A non-technical sales person from an enterprise company won't be aware of the acute pains the customer's IT/engineering departments have. They'll be able to make

There are also SQL based non-relational, non-acid, non (strictly speaking) database systems too, particularly for OLAP uses. Hive (and in the most recent versions/through a plugin, Pig too) provides SQL support on top of Hadoop. While that'

Technically, you could also provide mixins through the decorator pattern and interfaces. IntelliJ (and I am sure Eclipse) can generate this for me. However, that's less elegant and more fragile than using a language (e.g. Scala) which has M

I think your close minded attitude ("I don't want to learn anything outside of my comfort zone, as it isn't clear whether it will get me from point A to point B") and vulgarity ("dick around") is what got you the down votes.

First, C++ has MI (which can be used as mixins, although they also give you enough power to shoot yourself in the foot if you so choose) and namespaces. Namespaces and mixins are vital for building large scale software projects. C++ also al

You could also argue that engineers derive a meaning from their work that isn't in terms of money or power (they do work that they enjoy).
