I like your style and your sentiment here. We are committed to exactly the ideals you outlined here. Tim and I are both startup founders and very product-minded engineers. Our program is less about "whipping together a cheesy iPhone ap

We are big fans of Hack Reactor and similar programs. I think they fill a real need for aspiring engineers who want to jump into the field. The key differences for us are we are very focused on existing experienced engineers that want to le

That's right, Tim and I (CodePath founders) are both startup-minded software engineers with backgrounds in product development and web and mobile development stacks.

brain looks pretty cool and I also noticed she not only works at mozilla but also regularly speaks at conferences. Weird how judging a person's competence based on looking at a single for fun open source project may not be a great idea.

What a great idea to go around calling other people stupid for creating personal open-source projects that they enjoy using, mocking their competence and treating them as if they should go away because they aren't as good as you. What a pro

Yeah I mean it's OK to make judgements and think or believe whatever you want. Maybe even tell how a friend or two how silly something seems to you while hanging out. It's a different thing to being a dick to someone publicly on the interne

Glad to hear rabl is working well in conjunction with rails-api. Haven't had a chance to try that combination yet, mostly been using rabl alongside Sinatra, Grape and Padrino.

Definitely, thanks for your feedback. Will be bringing up redis in the next post. Redis has some messaging functionality baked right in and can be a good solution as seen with https://github.com/defunkt/resque in Ruby as well. ZeroMQ is a

Interesting, thanks for sharing the links. I think building your own message queue is sometimes the only way to get things working exactly as you might want. For people looking for a highly configurable framework for building a tailored MQ,

Yes beanstalkd has solid persistence support now in later versions. You can use the “-b” option, and beanstalkd will write all jobs to a binlog. If the power goes out, you can restart beanstalkd with the same option and it will recover the

I agree and if polling was the only consideration then this would mitigate the issue. Admittedly I didn't cover this as much in my article but there's also a lot of other flexibility afforded by a good message queue around delivery strategi

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate the thoughtful response. I actually agree that generalized message queues can often be complex and perhaps even unnecessary when dealing with asynchronous processing at a small scale depending on your

Thanks! That's exactly why I am writing this series. I plan to take people slowly through everything about asynchronous processing, message queues, handling job processing, etc. Message queues are underused in modern web apps, and I think a

I think part of it is a marketing and documentation issue. I have been working to help get beanstalk into a better place specifically around ruby tooling and overall documentation. Check out https://github.com/nesquena/backburner for my s

Just want to add a quick comment about our goals for gitdocs. Obviously this was never intended to be a 'dropbox-killer', in fact at Miso we actually use both. Dropbox for videos, large binary files, business and legal files. Instead we use
