Linux containers have been awesome for helping me sandbox user generate code. Has anyone actually had experience with using Mesos in the real world?

I just had this discussion with my friend today. While it is true that building a simple simple api from scratch is pretty quick, the hack-it-super-quickly api gets really hairy really quickly. Later you have to spend a lot of time refact

Compiling while editing. Intredasting.... I assume there is some crazy dependency algorithm.

What is paypay? Am I the only one that noticed that?

I have and I actually thought it helped a good bit, but then I got lazy and started writing test cases only after I develop.

Not totally related to the article, but every technology has its use. I get really annoyed when people ask me why I don't use ruby or mongodb at my job. I hate this movement towards "blog technologists" that basically read something in a

Every few months people start an argument about post vs put vs patch and versioning in the url vs some header. I think a lot of developers aren't fully aware of PATCH and making put actually fully replace an object can be dangerous. This
