- I would move to absolutely close to work as possible, even if that means renting a closet from someone on craigslist. - Consider the day job a sidejob (but of course, be professi…

This is brilliant because the main cost of running gear is power draw (PDUs / electrical circuits). Having OEM/ODM blade ARM setup a-la sgi cloudrack/supermicro is the way to drive…

This is important because "silence gives consent" to hate and violence directed at unprotected minorities. Revoking business dealings is one of the main levers to encourage countri…

Top-down configuration (as opposed to discovery like UDDI) via something like zookeeper or dns solves this problem. And APIs shouldn't do WSDL either, the code and docs should docu…

OWH. OWH. OWH. Since I'm anon, I'll say that I did a few ivy league SharePoint implementations. Thankfully, their IT/IS shops had to inherit the content and provisioning responsibi…

Reminds me of a contract gig I passed on to support Microsoft's creaky inheritance of Danger's Hiptop/Sidekick stuck in cheapest maintenance mode. Everyone associated were trying t…
