Great to see that there is (almost) always a great open source alternative to expensive proprietary IP products! Splunk can become very expensive very quickly if you have a lot of …

Great overview, but do you think it's possible to compare package managers between different programming languages? I mean they all work quite differently when it comes to dependen…

Another business guy turned programmer here. It's good to see that there are more of us out there and that I'm not the only crazy one. Some advice I would give to anybody who wants…

It's amazing to see how little has changed over the last five years - the blog post is from 2008. I mean you would obviously pick Python or Ruby now, and use websites like Codecade…

While I really applaud his tenacity, I don't think that this is what Paul had in mind when he said "relentlessly resourceful". I borders on stalking. It's one thing to have a produ…

Thanks! I think it's a great resource and have actually included some of it in the course.

no offense taken ;) it's a free course that I created to help others with their applications and to showcase the prototype of crowdcademy. There will be paid courses eventually, bu…

If anybody knows of great resources that I've overlooked, please leave a coment and I will add them asap. Thanks a lot!

This. I can't even imagine how founders with families and kids deal with the stress that goes hand in hand with being broke. Being scrapy and hungry is a good thing. But not knowin…

That sounds pretty sweet. Does the network of advisors only cover the traditional education space, or also e-learning/self-teaching? Because for the latter it's a whole different b…

His LinkedIn states that he graduated last year and worked for a startup for a grand total of 3 months... nothing against the author, but he seems to be too young and inexperienced…

The latter. I know a lot of great coders, and most of them set the bar for "decent" very high. By decent I mean that you could actually write code to solve most problems you come a…

That's so true! I used to love to learn... I mean I had to learn Spanish in 6 months when I moved to Costa Rica for an internship. Plus I've read at least two books per month for t…

Not necessarily if you want to be a brogrammer... watch the video, it from the first twilio conference. it's hilarious! :)

Sorry guys if you get a server error page, seems like my heroku dev postgres can't handle ANY traffic. I haven't implemented connection pooling yet and I run out of db connections …

tl;dr but I guess his point is that if you're a kickass German scientist, you don't have to use CSS and make your posts more readable. <3 the attitude!

Having been a difficult employee myself (don't know about the talented part), I've wondered if the way my old boss dealt with this problem was the right one. After some initial con…

From my experience (German, studied and worked in the states, traveler) the list is pretty spot on. BUT I think it applies mostly to Joe Sixpack. Most of my friends and people I me…

I'm following that thread hoping that some day they will listen to their customers. I'm pretty close to switching to another CDN because of that. Do you happen to have any recommen…

I have the same problem and haven't found a solution that works and is easy to set up and manage. This looks promising, too bad I'm using Django and not RoR. The combination heroku…

guys, please fix your registration process. Way too much stuff that you ask for in one view and errors don't get properly displayed. I gave up after 3 tries... But I like the idea,…
