Viewing profile — hoop

Heroku totally releases postmortems for incidents that meet certain criteria but I can't speculate as to what this criteria might be today. Here is a recent example: https://status…

The article states quite clearly that the numbers that were allegedly leaked to them are from last fall.

If it were a public company, they wouldn't have to leak their financials. It would already be public.

Hi there, I'm quite new to engineering management as well, with approximately one year of experience. I've had some great mentors, as well as a reading list passed down to me. I'll…

This is spot on and how it was where I grew up and was a volunteer firefighter. IIRC, the visible strobes on our equipment we referred to as "opticoms"

I can't actually get the link to load here so I can't evaluate the site itself. But on a general note: Hire an agency and spend your time growing your business in other areas and s…

Sure! The basics are that each team has their own board and chooses a Trello board layout that most closely matches their workflow. Generally, we'll start with new work on the left…

At Heroku, we are quite distributed and typically use the following. Some teams might have a slightly divergent set of tools or workflow, but engineering-wide this is more or less …

Umm, I WISH all of my past employers let me peak at their codebase, experience their development process, and pair with an employee before asked to accept an offer. FWIW, I did a f…

According to posting guidelines: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, t…

Someone remind me why this belongs on the front page of Hacker News?

I'd like to see Hipache tested against these as well. Hipache https://github.com/dotcloud/hipache

Hi, dotCloud employee here. You're missing the 24x7 on call engineers who monitor your application, the single-command scaling, the built-in metrics and logging, and the easy deplo…

I don't know if this is still true, but when I started using Linode some years ago, Fremont was easily their worst datacenter. I've been in Newark without issue for some time now a…

For those interested or surprised by the quote "There is a huge performance difference between memory and disk. RAM is typically 100x to 1000x faster than disk" you may also enjoy …

This is noble and all, but remind me why this belongs on HackerNews?

Lots of guessing, hypothesizing, and imagineering for information that is readily available. Here's a start: http://engineering.twitter.com/2012/04/mysql-at-twitter.html http://hig…

Their comments would be full of kindness and mutual respect.

There are other graphing frontends now, but also you can check out companies like Librato who have statsd-compatible backends and do all the graphing and storage for you.

Shameless plug: For those of you using Celery, you can jump in rather quickly with this decorator I made that increments task counters and sends how long each task took to statsd: …

That's actually explained in the comments but the short answer is that someone left the coffee pot off of the scale. My guess is that the scale is zeroed with the empty coffee pot …
