muramira··on Show HN: Fab Friends a crowdfunding site for Rwandan college students
P.S. Tech stack, since someone will ask: good ol’ Django/Python, Postgres, and React. No blockchain:)
muramira··on Choose Boring Technology (2015)
Lots of people here are shitting on mongodb(maybe rightly so). But I think the biggest problem is that the developers making the decision on what kind of DB to use just do not understand these tools. I always recommend reading Designing Data Intensive Applications as soon as you have an inkling that you will be asked to make such decisions in the near future.

muramira··on Readings in Database Systems, 5th Edition (2015)
Yesterday, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15428526 hit number 1 on HN. Having read the two books, I strongly believe that they not only complement each other, but also must be required reading for any data engineer.
muramira··on Designing Data-Intensive Applications
Really loving the book. Definitely a must read for the data engineers. I would add that redbook.io is another great read.
muramira··on Ask HN: Data pipelines and ETLs
Basically, we improved a shell scripts based ETLs with lambdas. Now we barely can maintain them, and when a something breaks, it takes an engineer an inordinate amount of energy and time to get them fixed. Since we process about 0.5 to 1.5 TB of time series(IOT) I was thinking about an architecture that combine AWS kinesis and airflow
muramira··on Norway mass murderer Breivik was 'already damaged by the age of two'
Am I the only one to cry out bullshit! The guy is a terrorist, period. He deserves to pay for what he did. I survived a genocide and you don't see me go around and kill people.
muramira··on Ask HN: How much did Google pay for kaggle?
Both. It seems to me in the last 12 months or so, the value of niche online community has skyrocketed. For a company like google, what is the value add of these communities?
muramira··on Ask HN: Leaving my job to boostrap my projects. Advice?
My two cents is 1.Keep your job and hack on your projects at night/weekends. 2. You'll make better decisions for your projects/businesses when you are not worried about how to pay rent. 3.Use Steve Blank's startup manual to validate your idea before you even write one line of code. Good luck
muramira··on Ask HN: Has anyone sponsored a J1 specialist or trainee?
Lawyers cost money to fill the same long-ass forms that you can fill up yourself!
