If they cry loud enough, it may not be the worst strategy.

I reckon that is nowhere near enterpricey enough. I would be very surprised to find anything less than the biggest Oracle db running that crap.

My guess - varchar(15) Adobe does the same thing with the horrible license-management selfcare site. Which, as far as I can tell, is some kind of SAP frontend.

In my opinion, there's a certain set of core rules, you need to learn, after which it's relatively easy to transfer your knowledge between programming languages and domains. I'm fairly sure you can get this fundamental toolbox in any langua

Work your ass off (...) So, in order to make the kind of strides I made, expect to spend at least 10 hours a day, six days a week dedicated to programming activities. Important point is that you have to love those 10 hours

N.B.: I looked into Wordpress et al., but I always avoid using software written in PHP if I can, and theming in Wordpress involves more time than I have to spare. Well, you're not exactly making it easy on your self, if you pile a

My thoughts exactly. In fact, watching the presentation gave me the impressions that the touch ui was actually slightly awkward to work with, compared to using a mouse. That's not a problem, as the application it self is quite interesting.

I fully agree with that. It's just something to keep in mind before building on their platform. It's not for me to decide how Rackspace should run their business, but for me it simply means I can't use them even though I want to. If only th

Rackspace are amazing. The only gripe I have (which isn't minor, I might add) is that you can only buy machines in tiers. If you want a machine with high network throughput (say, like a proxy), you need to purchase lots of cpu, ram and disk

I suppose there is an element of trust, the moment you engage in what is basically the start of an employment. Just like you don't bad-mouth a former employer, you don't do so with an almost-former-employer. Try to turn it on its head - Wou

Assuming the puppet configuration is kept in a (git) repository, can't you use that to manage the issues you mention there? The main repo lives on the puppet master, and has a post-receive-hook that ssh's in and updates clients. A rollback

I don't know. It's probably in a gray area zone. What conclusions would you draw yourself, if you were about to hire this person and that post came to your attention? If I was hiring and I googled the persons name and found this, I would pe

Yes, it did seem a bit out of line. He could have sent the entire post as an email to one of the founders instead.

It would be possible to have an optional "reason"-field though. I don't think that's a bad idea really.

My take is that underneath the polish and functionality, what all these tools really do, is to impose a very specific workflow on its users. Peoples workflows differ a lot, so some tools will match some people better than others. In the end

Briefly looked at your site. First thought: Couponify helps merchants build coupon sites that are SEO friendly I get the first part, but "that are SEO friendly" sounds a bit odd. I would take that for granted - it's a bit like if y

Well, we did get all cocky and built a tall tower. So I guess we had that coming ... Wait, that sends an odd message?

Here's a scenario for you: New feature is being developed. When ready, a marketing campaign will be launched to bring in the customers. This is done through tv-spots - which must be booked months in advance. Booking them before the feature

It was the last section though, so I guess you read it all regardless. That had me wondering too. Does anybody actually work in a place where there are tiers of programmers like that? Where the "regular programmers", when facing something c

I think your reasoning is flawed, to be honest. If a person (and let's pretend companies are people, just for now) does something amoral, it would take a lot of deliberate effort to rebuild trust in said person. Especially so if the deeds w

That's odd. That's not my impression at all. I figure he would have put anything that would draw some attention - Had he been a boyscout, he could have put that down, but since he happened to be a mensa member, he put that instead. I defini

Arguably, so does Scheme. My impression of Ruby is that it's sort of a bastard of Perl and Scheme.

Also, Scheme is Lisp.

Excel has data tables, that can pull external data in from various sources. Works much better on Windows than Mac, unfortunately, but still.
