Earlier quoted context omitted.

honestly DNS still confuses me a bit. I have a CNAME record pointing www to the ec2 public url. What do I do for the naked domain?

Set up an A record and point it directly at the IP address. Edit: on EC2, much better to set up an elastic IP as described below.

Careful not to put an ec2 host IP address directly in your DNS provider. Given the caching in DNS, if/when you change EC2 instances you'll be given a new IP, and your site will be down (or looking at the old server) while DNS updates.

Better to use amazon's Elastic IP. Simply 1) create one, 2) assign it to the EC2 instance of your choice, 3) add the Elastic IP as your A record as the parent post suggests.

Nice idea :) I have been working on a blog post and example app for how to do this with Gremlin and Neo4j -- should be up soon.

As far as I can tell, this equates 'best programmers' with people who run repositories for popular projects.

I suppose if you think Justin Bieber and various top of the charts pop stars are the best musicians it makes sense.

I think that good programmers can be involved in popular projects but being involved in a popular project on github shouldn't be the defining characteristic of a 'good programmer'.
