Double Shot #275

I think it's about time that I started tracking the changes in Edge Rails, even though I don't understand a bunch of the code. Pushing myself is good for technical growth.

• Amazon EBS - Persistent storage that you can attach to an EC2 instance. Amazon pretty well defines cloud computing, despite everyone else sniffing around.


• Running MySQL on Amazon EC2 with Elastic Block Store - And here are some instructions for putting that storage to good use.


• 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know - Darn, why didn't I ever think of having my readers write my books?


• Developer Compensation: The New Reality? - A VC arguing that you don't need to give startup developers stock options and such because developers are now a complete commodity. I don't think things have quite reached that point, but it's a reminder to continually look for areas where you can stand out.


• LessProjects - Project-tracking software from the LessEverything guys.


• Ruby Inside Gets Redesigned - And it looks good.
