it's a bandaid

Send some emails to blog authors. I would never go for rentacode.com like websites, because freelancer is not the type of relationship the author is looking for.

I would try outsourcing technical tasks.

Each newer language has one common denominator - lack of proper IDE. Even though they come with some synctactic sugar, your productivity gets nailed by lack of good IDE.

Java syntax has many problems, but they are very easy to overcome thanks to IDE and many JVM tools.

except that in Cocoon you are not forced to use XML/XSLT.

Try to make sample webapp using Maven 2:

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1159_1_1.html

I bet you will fail thanks to some random maven quirk:)

Spring is just some Java library, XML/XSLT is too simple to break anything.

> stateless web approach

It is not something the author should care about, because it's very new with uncertain future. Most likely he will find a job on some typical Java codebase(standard approach to concurrency problems).

Maven killed some great open source projects, i.e. Apache Cocoon

Java syntax did not change that much since late `90s :)

10 years, so basically you were programmer in era of CGI/Perl?

food production, healthcare

actually race car driver need to love the gym

PHP + MySQL is the most unfortunate technology stack for this project.

"little competition"

It depends on situation of video game market, industry will look after other tools if it falls into trouble.

or just spend more time around different people?

I'm sure there is some good idea, just like becoming a prostitute is not the only way of making a living.

Perhaps it does not make much sense to make such websites if "advertising" is the only viable option?

JS port of Box2D is dead since 2008.

CPC in AdWords will skyrocket on Calcio pages and in SERPS overall, the price of SEO in health* niche will also be very high, because as I guess Google will use SERPs to promote their new business.

On the other hand, at the morning(and that means MORNING :)) I am super effective for first 2 hours. So if I can go vampire until 1am and sleep until 8am or I can go sleep at 11pm and wake up at 6am, I choose the second one.

6am-8am >>>>>> 11pm-1am (in terms of effectiveness)

Technically it may be purged by blackhat SEO, because google search result ranking algorithm is poor actually and can be easily gamed by anyone who has 100 dollars in her pocket.

Only because Bing/DDG SERPs were not gamed by "SEO" activity doesn't mean it can't be done and/or those SEs algos are any better than Googles.

a bit off topic question:)

Perhaps the way how you approached your own startup was wrong. Why quit job entirely rather than develop some network of freelancers and outsource time consuming tasks to them? It will increase costs, but also greatly reduce overall risk.

I have 8 years experience with Postgres and I already know that a lot of cool built-in features just do not work in production, under heavy load. Usually I have to make some logic inside application in order to protect myself from postgres-driven fuck up.

That's why I am sceptical about this new cool and ambitious built-in MM replication.

Sorry:)

Not planning to have database distributed all over the globe and even if I had to distribute the data I would do this on application level with tools like RabbitMQ.

Foreign key deadlock fix finally after 5 years is out to production! Hopefuly now it is safe to use foreign keys in postgresql :)

Haveing table A, B, C with FK in A and B to C_column1, running function which updates A and other function which updates B, both refering to same C row via FK, but not modyfing it in any way - causes deadlock.

in pre 9.3, now its fixed, so I can use FKs again after so many years and its just creazy:)

the idea of geograpically distributed database is useless from my POV

This article is so true, software dev job market will implode in long run.

I want to build website with Yapp.js, my business model involves SEO, how can I do this in your framework?

at the end of the day for most of employees all that matters is how much money lands in their pocket

if they wanted to be business partners they wouldn't become employees in first place

That's good approach and it just works.

Real world tasks produce problems which are best medium for learning process.
