(I run our Ops team.) The time burden goes down with the more people we have. It's still a burden though -- and our compensation (in theory) reflects that. FWIW We're doing everything we can to make this "work hours only&quot

Thanks for your feed back. It's understandable that this might be too much for some people. To date, we've had a single person skip those questions and still submit. This person was not a qualified applicant. Based on the applicat

(Full disclosure I work with the author, Noah, at Basecamp.) Not sure if more important than math, but you are right it's extremely important. One of the biggest on going problems we have isn't getting data in -- it's helping

We treat all environments as production. However we add additional security to staging since it's the most experimental. (Additional security meaning it can only be accessed via VPN and after two factor authentication.) To be very clea

(I do ops at 37signals...) We have two top of the line ("high end") load balancers at each site. They malfunctioned. When they both malfunction at once, it doesn't matter whether it's active/active or active/passive or anything like that.

Mutex issues and other problems with high insert / update rates. Google "mysql query cache issues" and "mysql query cache disable" for lots of posts about the various costs / benefits.
