Whenever someone comes to me saying we have to implement this “SIMPLE” feature, my spidey sense goes into overdrive mode.

What will others say/think? Root cause of most miseries in life.

• When will Amazon come out with a Heroku/Google app engine equivalent? They have all the key pieces to build this product.
• @amanmohla @deapubhi Aha, was under the impression beanstalk is more of a deployment/configuration management tool, looks like it is PAAS.

Non stop - edge of the seat thriller.

“Correlation does not imply causation” is one of the hippest terms these days.

Last couple of movies of Liam Neeson that I have seen have all been great.

Do not think of Redis as a database, it is an in memory data structure server backed up by disc.

Companies that are just starting up talking about big data is oxymoronic.

• A lot of companies that use Hadoop probably do not need it, a postgres database would have sufficed in most cases.
• @deapubhi High time investors hired rock solid tech advisers like me B-).

But then postgres is old and boring, Hadoop/HBase/HDFS are the new kids in the block.

Done with ranting, time to watch Lone Survivor :).
