The nice thing about Kochiku is that it is a free open source project whereas CircleCI is a paid hosted solution. If you have hardware available to use as workers on then Kochiku is free to use. There is a real cost to the time required to

I'm an engineer at Square. I'm sure most of the company is on here as well.

It is strange how every time someone interviews at Google they feel compelled to write "their" story and share it with the internet. How many stories like this are out there now? Hundreds?

Was anybody else dumbstruck by the article's first comment by this bright chap, "Jeff"? Brilliant. I've forwarded this to my team. We make a tax solution and I've been dealing with vague "we should use NoSQL" comments from a few of the l

Don't people realize that more than one person writes for TechCrunch. Erick Schonfeld was the sole author of the Last.fm TechCrunch article. Arrington had nothing to do with it and is still on vacation.
