Can anyone shed some light (speculate, perhaps) on Samsung's strategy here? Just seems like an odd pairing to me.

#172Cloud orchestration, Container Orchestration, Kubernetes... I think I am getting old and starting to understand how my parents feel about technology. I am developer, but mostly work on desktop apps, or embedded devices or lataly on some MVC applications. But reading things like "A Container-Native Stack for Modern Applications and Operations Increase development velocity while simplifying operations." I have no idea…
So, you build a web app and it gets popular. It needs one load balancer, 5 app servers, at least two database nodes for replication, a redis cluster for caching and queuing, an elasticsearch cluster for full text search, and a cluster of job worker servers to do async stuff like processing images, etc. In the ancient past, like when I'm from, you'd write up a few different bash scripts to help you provision each serv…
Despite your lack of coffee, that was a pretty good read. Thanks for your write up.

Is it true that HN runs on a single server, running FreeBSD?

#174Samsung is a typical asian electronics company (has a hardware focused history and very good at it, but doesn't understand or respect software). I'm so glad that node.js is not under Joyent control.
Having worked in a Samsung office for enough time to have an informed opinion, I can emphatically say that the "hardware focused history" has nothing to do with their lacking on the software front. They have some amazing engineers (especially at HQ in Korea), but the main obstacles are partly Korean culture in general (especially as it pertains to engineers) and partly the management practices of the company. The bes…
Having good SW engineers languishing under bad management/culture might be worse than having no good engineering talent.

We need a HN Best-of comment section and we need to put your comment into it.

You could start a whole separate website of just "Best HN comments".

How do you come to the conclusion that the entirety of Samsung don't understand or respect software, when they clearly show great contributions to OSS? [0]. [0]: http://linuxcontrib-inn.rhcloud.com/
There are a lot of projects that are totally open source, and yet terrible software. An awful lot.

Given the quality submission, I feel like it would be fair to include a link to the book your writing (or a title so we can search for it when its done). Disclosure: I want to buy it.

Thanks. Not sure you need coffee. Your comment was awesome.
