Actually, you can never use "popular" to find the "best" of something because they aren't related. However, a "What technologies people on Hacker News use" can be a possible outcome.

This still hits selection bias unless you get a sufficiently large sample.

I'm an office experience consultant at a fast growing, venture-funded startup that you've more than likely heard of. Right now I am managing the Caffeine Portfolio and am using arduinos at each coffee pot (http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/2013/coffeebot...) in order to monitor the quantity. I wired these up to a node.js backend which will take the quantities of each pot and check them against a threshold. I track and visualize these changes using CoffeeScript, d3.js and HTML5 canvas. If the coffee pot quantity is below a certain threshold, I have the node.js call out to our Rails-backed RESTful API which sends messages through our RabbitMQ setup to asynchronously dispatch a TaskRabbit so someone can come and fill it up.

Edit: I also a bit of Perl to glue it all together and store the stats in an MS Access cloudstore.

Day job? Sun 4 and Scientific Linux 4.5 (it's REAL painful).

Side project? LAMP + cPanel

Hobby projects? MEAN + Playing with docker & AWS. I'm pretty excited about Docker HUB as if I can get a firm grasp on it I might be able to convince my day job to abandon our current setup and go with a much faster AWS/EC2 setup.
