We need: - Some sort of clear path for scaling - Ability to run background jobs - Decent amount of control - Outbound emailLooked at: - Heroku - EYHonestly, underwhelmed so far.Is it better to get our own box and administer it ourselves. I'm dumb so I'd really prefer to spend as little time as possible on this aspect, but maybe it is better to bite the bullet? What do people think?
The new mailboxes make it worth it for me.
Jailbroken? Don't enable wallpapers and multitasking. You'll find out why it isn't supported officially by Apple. Absolute shit performance if you do.
Wait, did I need the 'in my opinion' or not? I am confused now.
If you think you can focus or be actively conscious of all these things at once, you 1)have a weird definition of focus, 2)are probably fvcked.

1. There are languages out there you have not used.
2. Get rid of biases and give second chances to the ones that you have.
3. Maybe you are right. You'll never be able to get off Haskell. Stop complaining, and go do something else. Math, art, biology, business, some of that shit is pretty fucking interesting.

Personal data points, third party anecdotes even less so, are not a reliable way to extrapolate how CS (or any major) is taught outside of the MITs of the world. Your experiences, shockingly, are one among many, and remain yours.

- Can't see why anyone would need one.
- Fills a need that isn't there.
- Looks uncomfortable.

- Yeah, if you like to peck and type.
- It's gonna destroy the culture of content creation.
- Fine if you don't need to get real work done.
- Only fanboys will buy one.
- Give me a netbook so I can program.
- People who are buying iPads are sheep.
- It would not sell if it weren't for the marketing.

- I can't believe people are buying this without being able to articulate why.
- Look, someone says they stopped using it! I was right.
- No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
28 days and $1,000,000,000 in revenues later, still reasons Apple doesn't give a flying frack about, and maybe a sign that some of us should reevaluate how much we know about the buying habits of the non-comic book guys, and that there might be something there that warrants more than a knee jerk cmdrtaco response.
The company has invested in you, but you have been investing in the company as well. You won't get the time you spent there back to work on something else.
If you are going to grow or be more challenged more somewhere else, then the future impact will be positive anyway, for you and others. Just be you aren't drinking the new company kool-aid before making a decision.
