Why Businesspeople Should Learn To Code (But Not Write Software)

Why Businesspeople Should Learn To Code (But Not Write Software)

By Chris Yeh on September 5, 2013

The “everyone should learn how to code” meme has probably reached the point of absurdity.  My favorite (humorous) example is the “Dear Miss Disruption” advice column, in which every question, no matter what the topic, concludes with the answer, “learn to code.” But my old professor Tom Eisenmann of HBS did something that few others […]

Distributed Coding Prefunc: Chicago Boss, Rails Based Erlang Power

Distributed Coding Prefunc: Chicago Boss, Rails Based Erlang Power

By Adron Hall on March 25, 2013

Troy Howard and I sat down on a Friday night to do some straight up thrashing of Erlang and Chicago Boss. It seemed like a framework that has a lot of promise. Thus, we wanted to hack at it a bit and see what we could come up with. First things first, I running OS-X […]

On the Ethic of Delivery – Required Watching

On the Ethic of Delivery – Required Watching

By Ben Kepes on January 23, 2013

Over the past few years I’ve been a kind of informal adviser to the Defrag event. The role is less than onerous, Eric Norlin totally understands what his participants (and at defrag, attendees really are participants and not simply an audience) most want to see. Defrag has always been a

Continuuity Launches Big Data Application Fabric–Warning: Buzzwords Abound

Continuuity Launches Big Data Application Fabric–Warning: Buzzwords Abound

By Ben Kepes on October 23, 2012

Coming out of stealth today at Strata and Hadoop World is Continuuity, a company that is looking to position itself within the PaaS landscape as it gives organizations the ability to build, deploy and scale big data apps. All of which sounds dangerously like buzzword heaven so it’s worth taking a look at what Continuuity […]

I’m Not Looking, But These Job Posts Just Suck

I’m Not Looking, But These Job Posts Just Suck

By Adron Hall on February 22, 2011

BEWARE:  This is the beginning of a rant.  If you’re temperamental it might piss you off.  You’ve been warned, prepare to have a bit of rant with reality thrown on top for good measure. I’m not looking for another gig.  I’m extremely happy with what I’m doing right now.  The Russell Team I’m working with […]

Extend Google Buzz for use on a web page

By Dan Morrill on February 20, 2010

Over the weekend Layne Heiny over at LPH has worked out a way to embed Google Buzz into a web page using iframes. Overall very cool and making it much more likely that I will use the Buzz system as I am not a big fan of melding email into my social network. While the […]

Lessons Learned from Cloud Camp Seattle 2010

Lessons Learned from Cloud Camp Seattle 2010

By Dan Morrill on February 4, 2010

Last night I got to attend cloud camp, which is an “unevent” that people can attend to meet up with people who are looking into a particular technology for business. Cloud Camp Seattle was held at the Grand Hyatt Seattle, which provided an awesome environment to discuss cloud computing with 200 of like-minded people. For […]

Microsoft Azure Brings on Some Support for Open Source

Microsoft Azure Brings on Some Support for Open Source

By Dan Morrill on November 18, 2009

As Azure gets closer to its release date of 01 January 2010 – the biggest question is what kind of support can you get for open source systems or programs like PHP. With AWS (Amazon Web Services) you can get Linux and native PHP support, and you can do the same with Rack Space Cloud […]

Our Programmers are not like Your Programmers

Our Programmers are not like Your Programmers

By Dan Morrill on November 5, 2009

With apologies to Intel for usurping and corrupting their commercial tag line, in a classic “our rock stars are not like your rock stars” move, Stack Overflow (one of the best programming information web sites out there lately) has opened up a job board with a twist, employers will browse and beg you to work […]

Another New Startup for Seattle Starts Today

Another New Startup for Seattle Starts Today

By Dan Morrill on September 14, 2009

What is interesting about problems is that if you are lucky enough to have a good idea that will help solve the problem you can pretty much do a great startup. Over the last week my startup has been in trouble yet again, and in thinking through some of the problems with third party selling […]

Sequential Programming is Dead. But it May Just Mean Job Security :-)

Sequential Programming is Dead. But it May Just Mean Job Security :-)

By Zoli Erdos on October 24, 2008

Do you have a screaming-fast Quad-core computer?  Does it really feel that fast? If not, it’s probably because most applications were not programmed to take advantage of the new architecture.  In fact, if you ask the Intel guys, not even the next generation of programmers is well prepared: All major manufactures of CPUs, GPUs and […]
