   You don’t think DIY or ‘scrape by without a solution’ represents a significant dependency? Sunk cost (amongst other factors) is a gravitational force on orgs that try to get things done without the right tool for the job. What’s an example

   Hi folks! This is a writeup I published earlier in the year because I hear of a lot of people curious about the '4 Key Metrics of DevOps', what to measure, and how to get started making improvements to flow and performance. TL;DR:

   Did I miss the target use case and user? I'm a big fan of decision frameworks but without those two clarifications it's hard to give feedback. To make this practically valuable it would be great to have logging and an escape path

   It would be interesting to see what you're saving on each tool and why they beat free alternatives. I think the only one that doesn't have a compelling free option is getresponse but there's sendfox for email that does the jo

    Is that factoring in cost of living? There's an enormous difference between Toronto and SV there.

    So, DevOps as you (mis)understood it is dead. Long live DevOps as it was meant to be understood.

    This is super interesting! Are the product managers and designers a shared resource?

    That's close, but still a problem. If you put change responsibility formally on the shoulders of a team or individual you're throwing them under the bus. It needs to be approached as a cross-functional team initiative (which is re

    DevOps doesn't mean people doing multiple jobs. You can collaborate with separated roles and be productive. Furthermore you can build abstraction to simply remove manual, unrecorded interaction with systems to satisfy auditing and regu

    Thanks for checking it out! It sounds like what you're looking for is a Ops or deployment checklist (but really just deployment automation). DevOps really is about "general engineering team principles", one of them being &#x2

    I disagree. I think the article speaks rather well about what DevOps is really about. There's actually a great deal of consensus within the community about it's meaning, and Mr. Kim has been a major contributing member for quite

    I have nothing against reading Huffington Post for entertainment or opinion pieces, but it's hardly a source for anything relevant to hacking(in the HN sense) or startups. I come here to see news that doesn't make the headlines of major med

    Your options really depend on your current numbers, your estimated growth and your pain threshold for scale. Starting with a single box sounds like you either have nothing right now or you're on shared hosting, does 'dedicated box' mean a p

    I really dislike the way this has been handled. Yes, I'm sure the FBI is legally prohibited from notifying the victims of the problem directly or even fixing it remotely, but there are many other avenues available to address the issue than

    We use NewRelic to see everything from the bottom up: http://newrelic.com/ It's really easy to use, comprehensive and they have a 14day trial. I also like yslow: http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ It's good for quick checks.

    I think this is the natural reaction of the hacker news (intelligent and savvy) crowd, but I see more and more every day that the average human desperately wants to be seen by anyone. Hence the success of youtube, twitter and facebook.
