"Sorry for the snarky reply" is not enough, considering that you wrote it at the same time you could have gone back and rewrite the text into a polite, well-worded argument. That's…

a: $port != 22 is enough to thwart most bots and skiddies. If you think the port number is a guarantee that you are safe or that you are communicating with a blessed ssh you are sa…

"For an organization that fishes for ideas like it already owns them, its application process sure does suck. Not too innovative or creative there. " Okay, so you think it sucks. H…

I just show up and leave when I want. Being the average human I only think about things that impact me. Rather short sighted and selfish I know. But I have never thought about why …

I still use Perl for a lot of things. I love it!

Switch modifications should never stop work. Prod code push != prod infrastructure changes. Which is what the article is talking about. Specifically the agg. switching layer. My re…

I just realized that the Sys. Admin/Prod. Ops to Developer ratio here is crazy low. Everyone assumes I am talking about code changes when the article is about prod switching and ne…

Shipping code changes is a different beast. I am talking about the infrastructure side of things. I have built large scale percentage-deployment, slice deployment (whatever you wan…

If a user enters a large number of characters in the "Enter A Password To Save This Dream" input box the application throws an exception that is visible to the end user. Please dis…

I have a huge tattoo on my arm. I am happy and I consider myself successful. It depends on what you mean when you say "curtains for your career" I would imagine.

I would not worry about what an accelerator tells you. I am a single founder and having sold one company, and failed at many others I can say that I have been successful. Subvert t…

To clarify, I was not saying "people will not use it because you need to use the Facebook login service" I was speaking for myself. There is a large body of individuals that will p…

Any site that requires Facebook to login is a site I will not use. So, my feedback: it sucks until you implement login that does not rely on a third party that is known for its que…

Fail spam post linking to a 404 page and an auto play animation. I wish I could down vote this.

Yes, I would definitely keep it private. How could I say I cared about the disclosure of personal data and then disclose it? Thanks Solo3.

I have been tinkering with the API of a pretty popular web service and I discovered that the email address of every user is easily mined from the site. The issue I have is that the…
