Heroku totally releases postmortems for incidents that meet certain criteria but I can't speculate as to what this criteria might be today. Here is a recent example: https://status.heroku.com/incidents/930 Source:

Hi there, I'm quite new to engineering management as well, with approximately one year of experience. I've had some great mentors, as well as a reading list passed down to me. I'll highlight those I found as having the most i

Sure! The basics are that each team has their own board and chooses a Trello board layout that most closely matches their workflow. Generally, we'll start with new work on the left side of the board and completed work at the right side

Umm, I WISH all of my past employers let me peak at their codebase, experience their development process, and pair with an employee before asked to accept an offer. FWIW, I did a free "starter project" for my current position and

You don't even have to commit. Simply having a github account means your email address is public; it even says this on the "Edit your profile" page.

Hi, dotCloud employee here. You're missing the 24x7 on call engineers who monitor your application, the single-command scaling, the built-in metrics and logging, and the easy deployments, at a minimum. The way I look at it, personally, is t

I don't know if this is still true, but when I started using Linode some years ago, Fremont was easily their worst datacenter. I've been in Newark without issue for some time now and I heard most of the other datacenters are pretty solid al

There are other graphing frontends now, but also you can check out companies like Librato who have statsd-compatible backends and do all the graphing and storage for you.

That's actually explained in the comments but the short answer is that someone left the coffee pot off of the scale. My guess is that the scale is zeroed with the empty coffee pot to be on the scale.

When I was independently contracting as a systems engineer I convinced clients to invest some time into this whenever I could. For example, I had one client with a set of content aggregators (read: web crawlers) that grew and shrunk dynamic
