@subdigital "paid" support is a trade off for man hours. The real costs are in uptime, sec, etc then the paid support should rly b a savings
golden. rt @mkoby @CalebJenkins so I can spend some time working on learning a language or just use mono to deploy .NET
strange: after 2(?) recent rounds of RIFs from Microsoft, I've seen at least 3 new job posting from them today. (via twitter stream)
I thought I had Mono once. Turns out, that my code was just rly bored. #geekHumor #neverheardthat1b4
@mkoby even when looking at support "cost" I still think it's a question of "value". (for any platform) I'm not an infrastructure guy...
@gblock re-learning everything that he/she ever did in flash. #justsayin
ha! I love that @AmazonEC2 just injected itself in the middle of a twitter conversation about the cost of computing. cool and helpful :)
@subdigital fold and do another startup. ;-) srsly - it's a running start to get things going.
@hkarthik @nkohari @subdigital @mkoby the MS stack ultimately comes down to a value vs cost discussion. Also: seems to favor scaling up. :/
@mkoby but I'm certain the real costs of any stack rly surface after the initial price. In the form of maintenance, support, management etc.
@nkohari I hear ya. we just re-upped our EA. yikes. (still value vs cost) I love programs like BizSpark level'ish the playing field
rt @davidmohara You can't mitigate change, you can only mitigate the extent to which changes ripple thru your system - stop fighting change
@gblock I'm certain that "the best" c# devs in the world are still learning from Ruby/Java/F#/Boo *cough* Go ... maybe not Go. ;-)
:D rt @migueldeicaza Odd, I did not receive an invitation to talk about Mono at the PDC keynote on Tuesday. Damn spam filters!
@gblock probably - except that their's prob 10+ yrs of lessons learned to bring in to a 2 yr old platform. #alwaysLearning
@subdigital @hkarthik rly think that it's the lic costs? What's the lic cost for os+software compared to hardware costs?
@subdigital @mkoby lack of updates != more stable/secure. re:reboots on servers. Isnt that y we have load balancers and other HA solutions?
@hkarthik @nkohari @subdigital @mkoby I'm rly looking forward to a good EC2 vs AppEngine vs RackSpace vs Azure breakdown.
@mkoby I find most neg rep re: windows - is from ppl who experienced win circa 1990's.. not so much based on reality of where things r today
rt @EmilyF OfficeSystem MVP Lead job! ID & engage influencers, enable community, channel commuity feedback to Microsoft https://careers.microsoft.com/JobDeta...
that's right. Who moved 2 cards in 2 days sucka! me that's who. #LeanProcess FTW
@mkoby @hkarthik totally. BizSpark FTW.
@subdigital agreed. (major props to Mono) I've never deployed to linux. I wonder what some of the "hidden" costs are, depends on the distro?
@Pete_Brown awesome. pure geek coolness. :D
that would be awesome. rt @alvinashcraft @Pete_Brown You setting up a circle of webcams around you to do Matrix style effects?
@juliaroy I think u just brought down http://twitterbackgroundsgallery.com! ha!
@Pete_Brown the worlds *needs* a twitpic of this travesty! (all out of USB ports - need another HUB)
following the tweets from the Tyson Developer Conference - wish I could've made it! http://search.twitter.com/search... #tdc09
it takes having a wife that rly rly rly knows how to cook to realize how absolutely awful most store bought stuff is. office brownies FTL
done. rt @davidmohara Have you voted today?? http://www.nfl.com/probowl - might I recommend Shaun O'Hara under the NFC Centers section :)
