Spring is as micro as Java gets. Probably not a great example but its the best one I could think of at the time of the comment. Flask is a singular framework that has an ecosystem around it with plugins/extensions.

I know Angular is an easy framework to crap on for frontend developers, but I love Angular. Im a Python/Java developer and much prefer all inclusive frameworks like Django/Flask/Dropwizard over the micro frameworks like Flask

While I think Trump is a bad choice, I think comparing him to Hitler is overzealous and irresponsible. There are no doubt similarities between the two but Hitler wrote an entire book about the "Jewish Peril" and how it was destroy

This seems like the same advice YC has been giving for years minus the fact that the market seems to restricting based on the unicorn mess happening which is ultimately probably a good thing in the long term to avoid a bubble and a later co

I think maybe its subconscious but they view getting rich as a singular event like winning the lottery, gambling or a lawsuit (I wish I was kidding on the second one) and not an long term compounding effect using money as your leverage. Tha

Thats brilliant, seems well founded in research and well implemented. I really hope that it can continue to scale to more and more places. 445 communities is a smashing success already!

I lived this first hand. I grew up in extreme poverty (by the US standards anyways) where my electricity/water were cut off occasionally and occasionally would have to wonder if I was going to eat that night. Though this is still bette

I usually don't comment on immigration policies because I'm a US citizen and have never been an immigrant worker, however I dont believe this affects the long term success or failure of the H1B visa program and nor should it. We d

I hate to sound all conspiracy theorist crazy but this makes me scared of the fact that people may start to just up and disappear 1984 style. Covering up murders of people is not good on even a personal level as nobody gets closure, but on

This won't end well for Zenefits. Its not quite a deathknell for them, but there is zero case where Zenefits doesn't settle outside of court or loses the case. They will need to spend time/resources to raise another round and

I don't know: 55b is a huge number, not unfathomable of course but huge. Salesforce is a great company and a no doubt innovative and disruptive one, but they hold no talent that Microsoft doesn't have and they will hold very few b

Thanks for organizing it! Ill get with my wife, but this seems very affordable and fun event in particular for a family of four its the same cost as a normal "large" conference ticket and those don't include all you can eat f

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while when it comes to conference. As someone with a young family, I cringe when I have to think about going to another city for a conference, which is all the time because I live in Cleveland.

This is solid advice. I had one of my mentors put it a really elegent way : "Your board should consist of people who fix your weaknesses". Don't have a lot of business contacts? Get a board member who has a huge network. Lack

Alright, I made an honest attempt to read through all of it but I still have a fuzzy understanding of what you are trying to achieve with this project. I understand our current development tools might not be the best, but if I understand th

In before bubble talk. This is absolutely insane, but I think it shows that investors have faith in the founding team to execute on their vision. This is a healthy reminder that companies are all evaluated on how people feel about them not,

For startups, I agree: certificates mean nothing. In fact, they can be a detriment as the certificates cause an increase in pay that may not be affordable in a startups budget. Plus since startups tend to live on the bleeding edge, there te

I think in some realms MCSE does pull some weight, such as large financial institutions and non-tech companies. There are newer certificates such as those from Coursera and Udacity that are starting to pull more and more weight from the ind

Interesting point. I've never had an issue with Jetty, though I've never ran it at huge scale before. I've used it for internal business systems which at peak require 1000 req/s which isn't a whole lot. Do you run a

Tomcat/Jboss are resource hogs and tend to not do well in sandboxed environments as it takes away a lot of the configurability/tuning that they provide/need for scaling. In addition, people tend to deploy multiple application

For the tech enthusiast and the visionaries, you are correct; It is a very viable technology. However the majority of people that deploy software are rather conservative and unless they see a market leader such as Microsoft with a solution

If they did actually do this, its a death sentence for Zynga. With their already declining prospects and net loss every quarter, this will drain their account and remove any route of public funding. This leaves private funding, and there mi

The issue is we work in a field that has had a bubble in the past so until it inevitably happens again, the doubters will look for every sign that a bubble exists, contrary to the truth of the matter. In a similar manner to the housing mark
