If you subscribe to the philosophy that every line of code is a liability, which I do, this really hits home.

You're blowing my mind here. Really good stuff. What I think is really cool is that all this stuff is coming. There are a lot of stakeholders deeply invested in seeing these ideas come to fruition. To the future! Cheers.

Thanks for the kind thoughts! I agree, the whole concept of a cloud-based music library is very new. Forget music, the concept of the cloud is new! I'm looking forward to a holiday filled with questions like, "where is it, who owns it, is i

Selecting music to play at any given moment is entirely human. Play Strength was not intended to make music selection automatic. I think humans can make better decisions with data. Play Strength attempts to expose insights already locked in

All told, I think rating songs in your library is a really personal thing. @JimEngland, you use stars purely as an organizational tool, which is slick. It's cool that the iTunes interface extends it self to different uses. @tkahnoski and @z

Well thanks for the insights. I'll keep triggers in mind when I come across a problem like this in the future.

Thanks for sharing. I agree with @bunkat here (though I didn't read the whole page). I find the language around analytics apps (including big boys like Mixpanel) to be generally vague. If you're catering to a primarily developer audience, y

I pinged the guys over at RedisToGo to get you some more clarity on the pricing. Speaking for ourselves, we've historically preferred to have someone else manage our infrastructure. Setting up Redis is fairly trivial, I agree. However, sett

To be fair, we may have over-engineered this solution. I've been doing some work with compound indexes with Mongo and they seem to be performing really well. Maybe I'll have to write a guest post for MongoHQ too ;) Appreciate the time and t

We definitely could have done this in Postgres. Our API is a Rails project and though we do a lot of work that's "off the rails," so to speak, we do try to follow a convention where possible. A convention that's worked well for us is to use

I've never used SQL triggers. We host our Postgres database with Heroku. As a result, I think I've ruled out database level solutions. On a related note, it feels good to know that everything our app needs to run is in the code base. Back i
