Were you at CFUNITED in 2005 when Peter Amiri gave a keynote on Myspace? >From my recollection it was basically "get a request, code it and release that day and if it blew up, rolled it back and tried to fix it."
I don't know if their methods have changed, but I for one walked out of there thinking that I would never want to work for MySpace.

"Yeah we did it this way and that worked till we hit 1 million users, then it busted, so then we decided to do it this way instead and that worked for awhile, but when we hit 5 million that one busted too.... on and on..." I also find it interesting that most of the article talks about how they tried and tried to solve the problem with hardware and new systems, but very little about understanding how the code, SQL statements, and other programmer type things could improve their situation. The article is definitely very infrastructure oriented. -Cameron On 1/16/07, Casey Dougall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Skip the whole thing and move to the tech cheat sheet. > > http://www.baselinemag.com/article2/0,1540,2082942,00.asp > > Nah, good article and I like how bassline keeps it rolling with the > never ending "Next" button. > > Casey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:224850 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
