Awww.. you mad... I'm so sick of hearing about all these "new" technologies that are so revolutionary, but can't hold a candle to postgres and memcache. Despite what the brochures tell you, a "degree" from DeVry and 3 hours in a Ruby book d

This is a terrible hit to the team. I lost one of my co-founders at a very young age.. Brandt Cannici was his name, and we really never recovered from the loss. My condolences and best wishes to his family, friends, and the Diaspora team.

Interesting viewpoint, Jeff... Google licenses the data, but has the resources to acquire the data, and the company that owns it. If you go to the vendor and try to license the data, the cost is now so high that a startup without funding wi

Except that throughout the years, the manufacture of cars has become commoditized, and there are many more engine manufacturers than there were, so it's virtually impossible for a single manufacturer to corner the market on engines. Additio

Sure. I've programmed PHP for the last 8 years, and C/C++ for 18 years before that. A few months back I picked up Python in about 5 days, dabbling part time. Django on top of Python took another day or two. I now consider myself an advanced

Yeah, you're mature. right. I suspect that you weren't in the "senior developer" group with your employer, and you're bitter about only making $8.75 an hour writing crappy code. I never said I programmed before the first compiler, I said I

Thank you. I do have a ton of experience, and formal education is not a prerequisite for success. It's an option, and not always the easiest one to choose. Cheers, R
