I tend to alternate between two schedules for a week or more at a time:
12-2AM: Life is busy and I've lost track of time but I am always in bed by 2AM.
10PM (ish): My body is in tune with the sun and so I'm waking up at 5-6AM by the light. I find I usually need naps to make it through the day but this schedule is usually my most productive. I get onto this schedule when I crash early from staying up late for an entire week or when I spend time outdoors (e.g. camping for a week in Yosemite under the stars).
I could have used this last week when I hosed my box running the Lucid Lynx upgrade from 8.04 (I lost networking). I can easily justify $5/month to not have to waste my time rebuilding a server like I just had to…
Serious limitations and certainly by no means a seamless experience. For example, you can't get updates on SMS messages unless you use a hack (like Prowl).
NoSQL/NoREL is a tradeoff of features for performance. If you don't need certain features and you can make the trade and need the extra performance than it can make sense for some people. I don't think it applies to everyone. They made the decision that was best for them and congrats on that.
Also I can say rotational disks may not provide the economics that make RDBMS seem attractive—but FusionIO cards have really changed that. And I didn't just read the datasheet and get a nerd boner. I watched the queries from 8 beefy physical database boxes (that were getting hammered) combined onto one physical box that was identical in all ways except it had an FusionIO card. It handled 8x the number of queries with ease and could have taken a lot more punishment. Yes, the cards are expensive but in the scheme of getting rid of 7 servers it was actually saving significant amounts of money.
We're building something brand new, incredibly challenging, and very exciting and this is your chance take something complex and setup the perfect environment for it (if you've ever wanted to do try that…). We're a Python/Django shop, we're in San Francisco and this isn't a remote job.
Fluther is funded by Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, Ron Conway, Naval Ravikant, and Dave McClure, and we're advised by Biz Stone (Twitter) and Leonard Speiser (Bix).
On the subject of "don't get informal before the formal interview but I'm nervous unless it's informal", why not use two people and clearly delineate their purposes to the interviewee: one person to be informal and get them comfortable before handing them off to another person to conduct a formal interview. If you're up front about the second person and the fact that it will be a formal interview, wouldn't solve both problem to some degree?
I'm sorry about that. We get a lot of spam comments so I was constantly checking the Wordpress page to approve comments. For some reason a HUGE chunk of them didn't show up until just now. I approved all comments that weren't spam. The ones that were there when your comment wasn't there were people who had commented before and were auto-approved. Again, I'm sorry you felt that way, it was not the intention.
His Tweets are filled with the two basic building blocks of great storytelling, even if only by coincidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loxJ3FtCJJA
