Why I left Heroku, and notes on my new AWS setup
On Friday, we migrated Soundslice from Heroku to direct use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) . I'm very, very happy with this change and want to spread the word about how we did it and why you should consider it if you're in a similar position.

Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket
I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that you, like me, have a large pile (or digital equivalent) of books or articles you've been meaning to get around to reading, plus maybe a long queue of podcast episodes to which you'd love to listen, if only you had the time.

Shitlist Driven Development (2016)
Recently the team I work with completed a project to allow Shopify to run in multiple datacenters . This project was a refactoring project in disguise. When you undertake large refactoring of a code-base with 100s of developers and 100,000s of lines of code, you can’t align by sending an email. The merge-conflicts a…
