You can work for two companies at the same time if you are on H1B as long as the companies don't object.

Re:HBase 0.90.0 Released: Over 1000 Fixes and Improvements on Wednesday January 19, 2011 @07:58PM (#2122047)
Impressive indeed. It works out in a way if you'd like to to upgrade to the latest version of HBase without involving a data migration. Am switching to the new version right away.

Re:Ask HN: why do you run this Linux distribution? on Sunday October 31, 2010 @01:41AM (#1852568)
CentOS is a good choice if you want to run a server for commercial purposes. I use Fedora (its almost the same as centOS) for my development desktop as it mimicks my server setup. I tried Ubuntu for my server and it didn't work out to be that stable. However a couple of my friends in other startups found Ubuntu to be working fine for them on their production servers. Another distro I use a lot is Backtrack ;)

Re:Java Build Systems - a sad state of affairs on Tuesday October 05, 2010 @01:56PM (#1760670)
Yes. Thats why companies that can afford have separate build engineers. Maybe one shouldn't be called an expert if they have a poor understanding of how their build system works? My first couple of interview questions for Senior JEE engineers always revolves around their understanding of build and I've found it to be a useful parameter to validate their claims of being an expert.
Re:Java Build Systems - a sad state of affairs on Tuesday October 05, 2010 @01:44PM (#1760624)
What's mentioned as drawbacks are powerful features Maven provides to handle the project/plugin dependencies better. It takes a bit of understanding and experience to appreciate these features and to use them effectively. I've used Maven the right way in one of the biggest enterprise environments as well as a couple of startups and the results have been nothing short of phenomenal. Am still baffled by how most of the expert Java/JEE programmers have very little knowledge about how Maven works.

Ask HN: Which analytics solution do you recommend?

Am trying to decide the analytics solution (client side) I should use for my startup thats about to be launched. A bunch of options seem to be available - Clicky, Mixpanel, Crazyegg, Google Analytics, Chartbeat, reinvigorate.net.Which one would you recommend and why? Should I use just one solution or a combination? Any other solution(s) I should consider?Can you also recommend best practices...

If you are looking for something you want to use right away, check out JRebel. Mechanisms for hot swapping classes is still very premature in the JEE and I'd recommend WAR/EAR deployments in any environment other than development. I find hot swapping more useful for development as it gives me a faster dev/deploy cycle similar to PHP.

Google's offer: Useless. Moving to the bay area: Priceless. Go for it!
Re:Ask HN: What technologies do you use in your startup? on Sunday August 01, 2010 @11:46PM (#1566770)
java (jee, spring, struts), hadoop, hbase, nginx, fedora, solr, activemq, ehcache/terracotta and a bunch of other OSS.
